You enter your Castle. You are faced with many buildings, each with their own function. Which ones are important? How do you know what you need to build up and what each building does? Here, the Iron Throne Elite will take you on a walk through your Castle and the functions of the buildings you will be using.
Iron Throne Buildings
Your Citadel in Iron Throne now maxes out at level 42. With new levels come new benefits and new research! In order to complete new building levels, you will continue to need old RSS and special items such as Marble. However, you will also now need Divine Stones. These stones can be obtained in events, packs, and the Super Pass Shop.
For most players, your first goal is going to be to unlock the new research. In order to unlock the new Dragon Research you must have Academy level 41, other research is unlocked or not able to be unlocked at this point in time. We have tracked the bare minimum cost of Divine Stones in order to be able to upgrade to Academy level 41.
| Divine Stone Requirements | |
| Building | Level 41 |
| Citadel | 30 |
| Forge | 5 |
| Embassy | 5 |
| Temple | 10 |
| Stable | 10 |
| Archery Range | 10 |
| Training Grounds | 10 |
| Watchtower | 10 |

| Command Center | 10 |
| Siege Workshop | 10 |
| Warehouse | 5 |
| Wall | 5 |
| Academy | 50 |
| Total to Unlock Academy 41 | 180 |
Researches Associated with new Academy Levels
While we mention the new Dragon Research be aware that we will likely soon see building levels increase again. At the same time as this release, we saw the new Hero Training III Research added. This Research does not unlock until Academy Level 45. Due to the fact that this level of buildings has not been released yet, we know that it is something we can expect in the near future.
| Research Category | Unlock Condition |
| Production Ⅱ | Reach Academy Level 29 |
| Dragon Ⅱ | Reach Academy Level 41 |
| Hero Training Ⅲ | Reach Academy Level 45 |
Updates to Buildings
Since this article has been written, we have seen many updates to our buildings. While the basic information remains the same on these buildings and what they do and what stats they provide they now max at level 40 with new levels coming soon. These new levels bring increased stats and capabilities. Make sure that you check them out. Today, I want to mention two features that you need to be aware of that have been introduced since this guide was written.
Feature One: Building Enhancements
This feature allows you to enhance your buildings for additional stats using Orbs and Resources. These orbs can be obtained from the Ancient Trial Steeple and packs. These boosts to your stats are worth it and makes leveling your buildings even more important due to the fact that you can only enhance your buildings as high as your building levels go. For more information about Building Enhancements and the Ancient, Trial Steeple check out this article.
Feature Two: Obelisks Blessings
This is another way to get even more stats. These blessings not only apply to certain game modes but your stats overall. Check them out to see what you can get! To increase these blessings you will need Resources and if you want to go beyond the “free” amount you can increase these blessings in a day you will need gold. However, be careful because the amount of gold that can be used here adds up fast!!!!! Make sure you read more about these blessings here in this article.
The Castle
The Citadel
The Citadel is the perfect place to start for this article. After all, it is the first building you upgrade when you begin playing, and serves as your base’s foundation. Here, you can see see the production rate for all of your buildings. Upgrading this will allow you to recruit more Heroes and open up different functions around your Castle as you are able to further level up other buildings. You can also appoint Heroes from your Citadel and access the Event Center, where you can earn Rewards by logging in and completing Quests.
Training Grounds, Archery Range, Stable, and Siege Workshop
These four buildings are what allow you to unlock different tiers of Troops and where you train them. Training Grounds are where Infantry Troops are trained, the Archery Range trains Archers, the Stable trains cavalry, and the Siege Workshop trains Siege Troops. In order to increase the Tier of the Troops you can train, you must increase the level of this building. Often, players find themselves with a stronger Infantry base due to the fact that this building needs to be upgraded in order to upgrade the Archery Range, Stable, and Siege Workshop. Additionally, Infantry troops unlock at lower building levels then Archers, Cavalry, or Siege.

The Rally Point
The Rally Point is not something that needs to be upgraded. The Rally Point is at the center of your Training Buildings. Here you can see your Troop Count, Trap Count, Injured Troops, Deployable Troops, Food Production Rate, and your Upkeep Cost. Basically, anything you need to know about the current Troops you own will be found here.
Barracks
Barracks are essential for building. They are an outbuilding, and the maximum number that you can build is ten. However, these buildings will help to increase the number of troops you can train at one time and help with training speed. So, the more Barracks you have, the more Troops you can Train in one queue, and the faster you can train them. Barracks also give an additional perk of increasing Defense at level 25 and above.

Upgrading the Inn also helps you with Quests by allowing you to increase the number of quests you can accept and decrease the amount of time it takes to complete these quests.
The Merchant

The level of the building determines the number of wishes that are available to you. In addition, this building has a Revive Function. This affects troops from Tier 1 to Tier 5. When they die in battle, you can Revive them using Revival Herbs. However, be cautious when reviving, as you want to be sure you revive your highest Tier first since they are the most expensive to revive. You have 7 days from the time the Troops are killed to Revive them, but be aware that the Revival Herb amount does not recharge at a quick pace.
The Academy
The Academy is where you complete your Research. There are currently 7 Research Trees available in Iron Throne:
- Battle

By increasing the level of your Academy, you not only can increase the speed at which Research is completed, but you can also open up new levels of Research.
Command Center and Hall of War
The Command Center is essential for players who want to be Attack Players. This building determines the number of troops you are able to deploy. At level 30, this building will increase your march size by 200,000. The Command Center gives sizable March Size increases and is very important.
While the Command Center helps with your Solo March Size, the Hall of War determines your Rally March Size. By increasing the level of this building, you can increase the size of the Rally that you are able to send. This is also where the troops will gather while waiting to be sent out.
Embassy
The Embassy is another defense structure. This building is essential to completing construction, research, and other functions. The Embassy gives you the ability to receive troop reinforcements from your fellow Alliance Members. This building also increases the number of helps you can receive from your fellow Alliance Members when completing various tasks.

This structure is essential to getting those Buffs, and the Buffs are increased by upgrading this building. Your Dragon also sits on top of your Altar. The Dragon drops 300 Gold every three hours. Additionally, you can access the AR function from the Altar. The AR function allows you to feed your Dragon three times daily in order to extend the time your VIP is activated by three hours.
The Prison
The Prison is where Heroes that you have captured from Enemy Players reside. Heroes will stay here until they are released, executed, or they escape. In order to decrease the amount of time you need to hold a Hero to execute, you can upgrade the Prison.
Construction Tips and Tricks
- Only open the exact number of resources you need at a time to prevent enemies from stealing them when you are being attacked.
- Make sure you complete Quests, Town Mode, Dimensional Battle and other things to obtain special construction materials. You can also get these as Defeat Rewards from Battle Royale.
- Be sure to utilize any Construction Boosts you have.
- Skill your Lord for Construction and complete Research for Construction.
- Get Town Buffs for Construction.
- Upgrade and Appoint your Construction Hero.
- Gear up your Construction Hero with the best Construction Gear you have.
Your buildings are essential to other features in the game, as can be seen above, so be sure they are leveled up as high as possible. While Research is very important as well, your Construction can even help with your Research time. So grab a hammer and get building!
