Dawn of Gods guide - How to build your base and conquer your enemies

Dawn of Gods is a base-building strategy game which thrusts you in control of a bustling city as well as the wrath of a fearsome army.

We at 148Appsunderstand how daunting these responsibilities can be, and have prepared some tips to assist you during the start of your reign.

Get building early!

Rome wasn’t built in a day so take this as a sign to start building your base structures straight away. Don’t save all your resources as you’ll come to regret it when the build timers start to kick in.

As a general guide, you should look to follow a steady upgrade path. In other words, you should be building and upgrading structures in ascending order of cost, rather than directing all your resources towards a particular one.

Not only will this provide you with a balanced pool of resources, it will also save you huge amounts of time, as cheaper structures and upgrades require less time to build.

Gifts from the Gods

As with most free to play games, dailies are always worth spending your time on. There are other quests too, but they mainly consist of milestones that you'll reach with enough time.

More importantly, however, remember to collect your daily log-in rewards and free summons, as these will reward you with rare items as well as new gods, which can only be acquired with premium currency.

Preparing for Battle!

You should survey the area before a battle as knowing where to deploy your gods and troops is the key to victory. Once deployed, your troops and gods are no longer under your control so avoid deploying them in heavily walled-off areas.

Instead, look for priority targets such as enemy ballistae and watchtowers as destroying these structures first can ensure less casualties on your side.

Oh, and always ensure you have enough troops for the task.

Fight another day

Friendly losses are inevitable, so be sure to have more troops trained at the ready. If you find that you're being overwhelmed, there’s never any shame in retreating to develop your troops and gods as well as to prepare more reinforcements.
