1.2: Increasing Build Speeds | [Back to the WarGuide]
It is a little harder to help a unit build somthing in Kingdoms than it was in TA. All builders build at the same speed of 10. This is fine, but different builders can't help each other. For instance, a Tier 1 builder cannot help a Tier 3, and the Tier 3 cannot help the Tier 1 builder. The only exception to this is your Monarch, which can help build anything. So, to increase your build speeds, there is only one thing you can do; Build more of the same builder. It is usually good to have at least 2 builders working together at a time, especially on the more advanced structures. To make a builder help build somthing, have one unit start building it, click on the builder you want to have help, and then click on the structure getting summoned when the cursor turns to a hammer. If you are more effecient and like to give SHIFT-build orders, just have the helper(s) gaurd one builder (G Key) and SHIFT-assign all you want. The helpers will follow him around and speed up the build times. Two builders working together double the build speed. A third would triple, and so on. Being able to support the mana consumption helps alot though.
