A Complete Guide to Resources in Empire City Build and Conquer

What are Resources in Empire City?

As we mentioned, a resource is essentially a type of raw material used to construct anything in Empire City: Build and Conquer. This includes all residential structures, military facilities, public buildings, water systems, craft workshops, and decorative features. Resources are vital for shaping your city and are central to every aspect of gameplay. The entire experience revolves around gathering, managing, and utilizing these materials. You'll often need to wait patiently as resources accumulate over time. Let’s explore how to generate each type of resource.

Key Resources in Empire City: Build and Conquer

When we refer to "key" resources, we mean the foundational raw materials that form the basis of everything meaningful in the game. Like any city-builder, you unlock these resources gradually, one at a time. This step-by-step approach helps you understand their functions and plan accordingly. These core materials are often the main challenge early on. Once you establish a steady flow of resources in and out, building becomes far more intuitive. The key resources in Empire City are listed below.

Stone

Stone is the most fundamental raw material in Empire City. It’s widely used to construct buildings and is also essential for producing other resources. For example, it’s combined with water to create a clay mixture—this forms the base for nearly all structures, especially in the early stages. There are several ways to obtain Stone. The most effective and primary method is to build the Stone Quarry. Simply place stones in the quarry to begin production.

Food

Food is just as essential as Water in Empire City: Build and Conquer. After all, your goal is to grow a powerful empire from the ground up. That requires strong military strength and large armies. Who will feed your soldiers? That responsibility falls to you, as their leader. Beyond supporting army training, food is also used in crafting meals and sustaining your population. You can earn food by constructing buildings such as the Vegetable Tent, Farm, Windmill, Barn, and Latifundium.
