Game Rules Guide

A village can have a Residence or a Palace, never both. The Residence needs Main Building level 5. The Palace needs Main Building level 5 and Embassy level 1. Only the Palace can make a village your capital, from level 1. The Palace also costs more, takes longer to build (level 1 base time is 5000 seconds against 200 for the Residence) and gives more culture points (6 at level 1 up to 127, against 2 up to 77). Everything else is the same: both train chiefs and settlers, with 1 chief or 3 settlers at level 10 and 2 chiefs or 6 settlers at level 20, minus one slot for each village already founded or conquered from it (at most 2). Each completed level of either building adds 10 loyalty, up to a maximum of 100, and an attacker must destroy it before chiefs can lower the village's loyalty. You can build a Palace in more than one village.
