Walkthrough Becastled - Game Guide

We tell you all about building in Becastled, how to protect your kingdom from enemies, make citizens happy and where to get food and how to get sunstones. We will also tell you how to train soldiers to repel enemy attacks.

Beginning of the game

The game in Becastled begins with the construction of your Castle. This is the main building, and if it's demolished, it's game over. This is the place where new residents come from, who are called solar citizens in the game.

Every citizen can build buildings, but cannot repair them. To do this, build a builders guild and hire citizens as builders. You can rotate buildings using the C and V keys. First, build a sawmill to harvest firewood from the surrounding trees. Wood is needed to build buildings and to capture new areas of the map, which are called cells. Other main resources are food, rocks, and sunstones. We will tell you in detail about them.

A house is needed to increase the number of solar citizens.

With new citizens, the need for food increases, so expand the kingdom with neighboring cells to acquire territories where you can produce food. By clicking on any cell that you do not own, in the lower right corner you can see how many resources are required to capture this cell and what can be collected inside it.

Where there are cows, build a farm to produce food. Farms and other buildings for food production occupy one cell. You can also meet wild boars and deer, which require hunting huts. Build fishing huts on lake tiles. On cells with flowers, create fields and windmills to grow crops.

Eat, Fight, Survive

Having built a farm, workers (citizens) will drive cows to it for food production. By default, most buildings have room for two workers, but this limit can be increased by spending a stone.

At the top of the screen, you can see the countdown to night, and with it, dark and monstrous enemies. Does the game provide a starting soldier garrison??, armed with swords and shields. It will also indicate the direction from which the enemies will attack by lighting blue torches on the borders of your kingdom.

Strengthen your defenses by creating soldiers and fortifications. The first raid is just a test attack so walls and towers are not needed, but later on you will need more to get through the night.

The decorations build tab offers a variety of stone sculptures and vegetation to decorate the kingdom. The main thing is not to overdo it, as resources are wasted that may be useful elsewhere.

As night falls, the Sun Citizens run and hide while the soldiers wait for the enemy. The combat is quite fast as soldiers and enemies deal a lot of damage to each other. It is possible to keep your soldiers alive using the usual real-time strategy tactic of replacing units from lowthem health levels from the front line to healthier ones. You can slow down time to do this.

When a new day dawns, it's time to get serious about protecting your kingdom. Your first investment should be in an archery range where archers are trained. Each archer has a fixed price in sunstones and takes time to train. Build more houses to increase the population so that there are citizens who can be trained as archers.

New citizens appear in the castle at a certain speed. The speed increases or decreases depending on the conditions in the kingdom. There is a whole system of happiness, and you can see its indicator in the top bar of the interface. The larger the population, the less happiness, but buildings such as taverns increase happiness. Let's talk about this in detail below.

Extension

Build fortifications to protect the kingdom. Start with the tower because it has several useful features. First, there are parapets at the top, which provide excellent protection for the archers and give them a good vantage point to shoot from. Secondly, it is more durable than walls, and thirdly, thanks to safe doors, opponents cannot easily climb up.

Protective structures include fences and walls. Build them to guard your borders and block access in the dark at night. A fence is cheaper and faster to build, but it has less strength than a wall. There are also gates, but about them a little later.

After building the walls, place the archers on the walkways, but keep in mind that they are much more vulnerable to them compared to the tower.

The more citizens and soldiers, the greater the need for food. Grab another food slot, ?? build a food production building.

Consecutive waves of enemies are much more numerous, and so will be every following night. Rams, catapults, etc. will soon be brought in.

Sunstones are used to heal soldiers. Luckily, there is a source of sunstone near the starting castle. Capture a cell and build a sunstone workshop. It looks like a mine that produces sun stones at a constant rate. Remember, it will only work if there are workers!

Create a market. Initially, it will be only one tent. Set up tents close to create a market. One citizen must work on the market, and you also need to choose the goods to be sold.

To improve the production of food, wood or sunstone, spend a stone to add additional suns??s residents in the corresponding production building. Capture a cage with a stone and build a quarry. Remember, it will only work if there are workers!

In order to continue to expand the kingdom and build new fortifications, it is necessary to increase the production of wood. Build another sawmill and assign two citizens to work on it, and build a few more houses to increase the citizen limit.

The forces of darkness are rapidly gaining strength and numbers, and the next attack will be accompanied by rams and ogres. Attack the ogres with the archers while the swordsmen attack the rams to prevent them from breaking through your fortifications.

Happiness

Using the sun stone, you can heal wounded soldiers, as well as resurrect dead soldiers using a squad of priests. Build a church to use a squad of priests. By building barracks, you can train new, more powerful melee units, like knights and spearmen. Pikemen can stun and attack at a greater distance, while knights deal bMore damage, but no protection.

More soldiers means more population, and more population means less happiness. It's time to build a tavern and hire some villagers to keep the happiness going with one or two beer kegs.

But happiness is not the only problem. Food is scarce and increasing supply will require using mined stone to upgrade food production buildings so they can hire more workers. This will help temporarily, but as each night approaches and the power of darkness increases, you will have to expand and strengthen the kingdom by capturing more cells, building more buildings to produce resources and increasing the population, fortifications and army to work and protect the territory.

Once you have enough wood, stone, and sunstones, you can build trebuchets and ballistas on top of your towers. This is a powerful long-range weapon that is best used to deal with large groups of enemies. First you need a siege workshop, inside which you can order crafts?? enie ballista and trebuchets. Two workers can work inside at the same time, one for each weapon.

This weapon cannot be placed on every tower.

There are two ways to survive the night: either kill all enemies, or wait until dawn. Don't worry about your soldiers as you can resurrect them at dawn with the priests, just make sure the castle is intact.
