Indian Player Strategies
Top Tips from Indian Pros
Experienced Indian players recommend these strategies:
1. Resource Management for Indian Festivals
"Save your gold and resources before major festivals. The game always releases special events during Diwali and Holi that give huge bonuses if you're prepared," advises Rajesh from Delhi.
2. Regional Alliance Strategies
Players from Tamil Nadu suggest forming alliances with neighboring regions first: "It's easier to trade resources with nearby kingdoms. Focus on expanding south before moving north," says Karthik from Chennai.
3. Festival Timing
Mumbai-based player Priya notes: "Log in daily during festivals. The limited-time rewards are worth the effort, especially the exclusive festival commanders."
4. Language Advantage
Bengali player Arjun explains: "If you speak multiple Indian languages, you can join different regional alliances and get resources from multiple markets."
