Ever wondered what the War Potential values in the statistics actually mean?

an important factor for the calculation of the XP and Soul Energy gained in PvP battles.


What is War Potential?
War Potential is a value indicating how much war power there is available and ‘in stock’.

Fighting the Goblins

There are various types of units in the world of Arkheim, and each unit type has its own bonus. Knowing the unit bonus helps select which targets to attack with an optimal army.

Tower Influence Rules






How is Influence spread?


Each constructed Tower or Portal spreads influence around it. This influence is strongest nearby the Tower or Portal and declines with more distance. The influence of two or more Towers of the same Realm adds up.



How is Realm the territory distributed?


The territory of a Realm reflects the area in which it has more influence than all other Realms. This is done by looking at each individual field and checking which Realm has the most…

PvP Fighting Sequence







Warlord Pairings and striking order
If a group of Warlords from the attacking Realm meets another group of Warlords from the defending Realm, the Warlord pairings are defined by the total fighting strength of the Warlords. The Warlords with the highest fighting strength on each side face each other first, then the second-highest, and so forth.


Slot attack order
Each Warlord has 3 troop slots. When a battle begins the troop slots are being sorted so that for each…

Warlord and Troops Mechanics





Who are the Warlords?
Warlords are the chiefs of your armies. You command your Warlords and lead them to battle, together with their troops. No Warlord is like another. They all differ a lot from each other. Not only by their name, appearance, personality and leisure activities, but also by their attributes, troop-slots and skills on the battlefield. Here are the most important factors you should look at when choosing your Warlords:
Troop Slot Type (Infantry,…

The Items of Arkheim


No Warlord should go to battle naked. You can equip them with items that give your Warlord bonuses of different kinds. They may increase the initiatives of a particular troop-type, increase attack or defense values, increase the percentage of XP you gain during a battle or increase certain probabilities, for example, the probability to deal critical damage, resurrect troops, or poison the enemy’s troops. Equip your Warlords wisely. A bow increasing the strength of…

We make War that we may ascend in peace


- Misquoted Aristotle


War & Peace:
Diplomacy is key to success in Arkheim. Look around you on the map and you will see dozens of neighboring Realms. Each of them has its own goals, strategies, and intentions, just like you. Can you benefit from each other? Or are you standing in each other's way? In a world where you can't know what other Realms are up to, it's important to have allies who can cover your back and help you fight mutual enemies. You…

On every island, there is a specific amount of Orbs required to pass the Gate to the next island.

Towers and Influence








Towers have various functions for a Realm:
They expand the borders of the Realm and make the Realm grow.
By expanding the borders of your Realm you can claim supply fields on the map for additional troops and resources.
They serve as bases where you can station your Warlords.
They generate and store Arcane Orbs.
In this 1st part of the lecture about Towers, we will look at constructing and dismantling Towers and expanding your territory through Towers.

Round, shiny, and useful. The fastest transportation device of Arkheim: The Portal. This article gives you a lesson in Portalogy for you to understand how to place, build, and defend your Portals in an efficient way.





What is the Portal good for?
Once a Portal is built and activated, you can instantly teleport your troops from the Ark to the Portal at any time. From the Portal, they can be sent to any other target. While Warlords are stationed at the Portal, they can be managed the same way…

I can feel it in my bones, the day is upon us and we will be victorious! Enemies will be crushed under our hammers! But it is not today... Retreat!!


Time to retreat and relocate
In a situation where one Realm is clearly weaker than another Realm, the game can get hopeless for the weaker Realm. A defeated team that has lost most of its supplies, troops, and towers will have a very hard time recovering if it keeps being located next to one or more mighty Realms. The features “Retreat” and…

Some Realms like their supplies medium, others prefer them rare.


What are Supplies?
Supplies are fields on the map that can be conquered and claimed by a Realm. Once they are in the Realm's possession, they constantly deliver a particular amount of resources or troops to each member of the Realm.
There are 3 different status-types for a supply field:



Outside of Realm territory:



It is not possible to interact with supply fields as long as they are not within your Realm territory. To…

Sooner or later you will get to the point where you have to leave your comfort zone and attack or conquer an enemy’s tower to fight your way to the top. But, just like in a real war, for inexperienced warriors an attack might have fatal consequences if not done correctly.
