1. Initially Follow The Main Quest Line

As your basic guide towards progression and basic know-hows, the quests that appear at the lower left side of your screen should be the initial objectives you want to accomplish. Doing so will take you through most aspects of the game and lead you towards progressing most efficiently on your first few hours of playing. Take note though that there will be a lot of times later on where you should stray off from completing these quests. What makes this important especially at the start of your game is to primarily get yourself familiarized with the basic tasks that you will have to occasionally engage in as you play the game. Additionally, there are tons of rewards to claim that will boost your growth and some items that are a little more difficult to obtain anywhere else.

It’s also important to note that some of the quests that haven’t come up yet may have already been accomplished previously. As such expect a lot of instances when the next quest you see is already completed and you need only to claim your rewards to move on to the next one. Some quests are based on the daily logins you have made and if you see one where you will have to wait for tomorrow to accomplish, feel free to move on to the other duties that you need to spend time on.

2. Frequently Visit The Council

As the most basic structure in your realm, the council is the one to visit most frequently to earn the basic resources you will always need to progress your game. By clicking on Fortun on the left, you can engage in activities such as promoting trade, improving farming, and raising levies. Promoting trade earns you gold coins; improving farming provides you with grains; and raising levies gives you more soldiers at the cost of grains. The maximum number of times these assets will stack depends on your rank, indicated by your title. The resources initially take a minute to be available again and as the amount of items you gain grow higher, so does the waiting time. As you progress further and earn higher-ranked titles, the amount of resources you reap as well as the cool down period to be able to earn resources again grows higher. If you are in a hurry to obtain more of the same resources though, you can click on recover and consume work orders to instantly refresh a chance to pick up the same resource. Take note though that on a per-value basis, these tickets will earn you more later in the game as each category reaps more rewards depending on the level of your progress.

Considering that these resources are very important to raise your power, be sure to frequently visit this to farm the necessary resources. Initially, you will often see all attempts at full as you engage in a whole lot of other in-game activities but making it a habit to visit at least once every 5 minutes can boost your efficiency a lot and raise your power faster early on.

Within the Council as well, tapping on Lucian who stands at the right side of the screen takes you to meet the council and decide on a variety of council affairs. Choosing “Yes” as a response to any question raised earns you resources while opting to reply “No” will earn you prestige points. In general, you should always choose to obtain prestige points as these are harder to earn and is needed for you to rank up as a lord and acquire new titles. If you are in dire need of any of the basic resource, it should only take a couple of minutes to farm them from the realm assets. Like any other aspect of The Royal Affairs, attempts you have on meeting the council is limited and replenishes over time. The maximum number of attempts will likewise increase if you rank up and acquire a new title. If you have approval seals at your disposal, you can instantly add an additional attempt at handling affairs.

3. Empower Your Knights

As The Royal Affairs doesn’t leave you on your own to gain power and influence over the domain, you can count on your trustworthy knights to aid you in your campaign. You will have only a few of them initially, but their numbers will grow fast as you progress through the game and accomplish certain feats. Each of your knight is unique and specializes in a particular field or two over others. Your knights can level up and increase their stats adding to your overall power and influence and each level up costs gold. Fairly enough, the higher the level the more gold it would cost so it is best to spread your gold as equally as you can across all of them.

What you have to particularly take note of is each knight’s aptitude as this will be the main determinant of how much powerful each one can grow. Taking Rodrigo as an example, who is a knight you will obtain after just a few minutes into the game; you can click on the aptitude tab and notice that he has high military aptitude. Further, his aptitude points are gained from Stalwart Defender and Toughness. Banking on both, you should consider giving him the military elixirs that you have as these will have a more proficient effect on him than other knights with lower military aptitude. Beyond that, you can also use military scroll to further boost his aptitude, preferably on Stalwart Defender as it has a higher aptitude value. Each trait can further be boosted using trait EXP which you can gain from the Academy.

Relative to empowering your knights, be sure to visit the academy and send your knights to study once it becomes available. You will only have 1 slot available initially and unlocking additional ones costs precious diamonds. In any case, the academy is a great investment for diamonds early on as you would want to train more of your knights early on to further increase their power. As military expertise is the most needed skill, you may want to invest on knights who have high military aptitude first. Be sure to take note of how much time it would take for each study session to finish so you can make the most out of your investment. Additionally, spend the skill points your knights have earned on skills which are available for them to level up. As costs in skill levels also increase on succeeding levels, you may opt to balance the distribution of available skill points across all available skills.

Once a knight reaches level 60 and you have also unlocked the tournament, you can send your most powerful representative, the one with the highest military strength to take part in the tournament. You will have 4 attempts to battle each day and each one brings additional rewards. BE sure to check the question mark icon at the top right of the screen for additional details.

4. Progress Through The Plot As Much As You Can

The Plot, which can be accessed through the gates of your kingdom, very much represents the story mode of The Royal Affairs. This is where you constantly test your battle prowess fighting through hordes of enemies with the troops you have gathered. You can only go through each of the battles here once and each succeeding one is always more challenging than the one before. The Plot is divided into books and each book consists of 20 chapters. There are a total of 6 battles per chapter with the first 5 being a battle of troops spanning 8 fights while the last is the boss battle. Each fight within the first 5 battles will be a battle of strength and numbers. With regard to strength, what is taken into account is your total military stat and as far as numbers are concerned it’s the total number of troops you have against the number of enemy troops.

This is one of the main reasons why you have to frequently visit the council and obtain gold, grains, and soldiers. Each fight in the plot reduces the number of troops you have which depends on the disparity between your military strength compared to the enemy’s. BE sure to always take note of these values and assess if you can win a fight or not. In case you fear losing a fight due to not having enough soldiers, you can freely back out and amass more troops.

The boss battle may seem tough at first but you only need to focus on one of your knights with a high enough military aptitude and consume all your military stat-boosting items on him. After doing so regularly, you will come to find that the boss battles will become the easiest part of each chapter. Once you finish a chapter, be sure to click on the map at the lower left side of the screen and claim some military elixirs as rewards to further boost your military strength.

5. Talk To Your Hostages Daily

Relative to the plot battles and chapter completions, beating bosses on some chapters will give you a hostage on top of the other rewards you will receive. Once you do, you can visit and talk to them in your tower. Once each day, you will gain half of your total reputation which you can then spend to talk to your hostages. Every tap you make costs 10 points of reputation and instantly gains you some basic resources as rewards. Doing so will also reduce the hostages HP for some reason but on the bright side, reducing a hostage’s HP to zero will reward you with loads of items. As a basic strategy, be sure to focus on one hostage at a time to ensure that you will earn the rewards faster.

6. Manage Your Consorts And Heirs

Your consorts, which are your supposed better halves in life, play a big role in your quest towards becoming the most powerful ruler of the land. You will initially have one within the tutorial session of the game, but as you progress, and depending on your luck as well, you will gain more and more. You have limited number of attempts to summon random consorts back at your palace but these attempts replenish over time. To better understand their value, you must understand the unique mechanics surrounding consorts and heirs. For consorts, you would want to try and boost each one’s intimacy (heart icon) as this will be the basis of your future heirs’ stats. Similarly, higher rates of intimacy lead to faster unlocking of consort skills which can directly boost your power.

Your consorts’ charisma (flower icon) determines the amount of experience she gains with every time you summon them. This will also influence her chance of producing an heir for you. Although you may unlock additional consorts later on as you progress further through the game, you may get lucky and obtain additional ones through town visits. Like any other place to visit, there are limited attempts that replenish over time. What’s important to note here is that your luck in finding additional consorts will depend on prosperity and the more visits you do, prosperity decreases. You can increase it, however, by holding festivals through paying gold, grains, or gems.

As you keep summoning random consorts in your castle, you will eventually have heirs and as babies, you will train them to level them up. After a while, you can find suitable partners for your adult offspring and forming alliances with other players. The important outcome is having the stat of your offspring’s partner to your power.

7. Aim To Accomplish Quests, Achievements And Timed Events

On top of the mainline quests that you would be following for the first few minutes of your game, there are daily quests as well as milestones that you can easily achieve under the quest and achievements icons, respectively, at the bottom of the main screen. Be sure to constantly check these two items as you will naturally be able to meet several of the objectives listed here just by normally playing through the game. For the daily quest objectives, try your best to secure 140 activity points to earn the best rewards which includes 140 gems.
