Welcome to siege page for the men of virtue

There are two chronic problems we have with siege.

Updated March 3, 2026.

We have a chronic problem with team slots not being occupied

 If we are currently in prep phase you can see this for yourself.  Almost every siege some of our clan members are not placing teams into team slots.  I used to update this section every day with how far we are behind.  Now I edited this section less often.

Every time a building gets destroyed we have to first repair it and second add back in our team members.  I can't add team members to slots.  Each team member had to do this themselves.

It is suggested if you don't understand how to add a team to please review the basics of siege def scrolls.

Updated March 3, 2026.

We collect mana orbs after each battle.  It is important to collect mana orbs after each battle.  Deputies use these to set bonuses on our buildings.  The three players that are part of our front line defence should save their mana orbs to set conditions on their posts.  For everyone else it is important to donate mana orbs after each battle.

Our most recent siege victory was on December 24th 2025.  This was the sixth victory in the history of our clan 

Our stronghold is currently level 4.

One way to learn about siege is to read the official documentation.  I do this often but even now I still find it very complicated to the point of being incomprehensible.  I am working on a siege basics section trying to explain how this relates to our clan 

There is a whole section near the bottom this page dedicated to siege defensive strategy.

You can jump to it by clicking the button below.  The button below jumps to this section.

I hope that members of our clan can see something that needs to be done in siege and just do it without being told.  I hope that when clan members are out of resources they suggest to our fellow members in chat things that need to be done.  Together in this way we can form a sort of collective hive mind.  This is our collective consciousness so to speak.

Up at the top left of some structures are up to two flags.

These flags are set by the clan leader to suggest where defenders need to be placed and where repairs and upgrades are suggested.

Green flags indicating locations where defenders are needed to be placed in team slots.

The blue flag with the hammer on it indicates where upgrades and repairs are needed.  Currently all our buildings are repaired but there are still flags indicating where upgrades are suggested.

Each of us gets siege Def Scrolls. The number depends on your position in the clan and the number of team slots our clan fortress currently has.

Everyone gets at least two scrolls.  Some people get three scrolls. I get 3 siege def scrolls as a clan leader.

You can click on a building and add your team to the garrison as long as you have any siege Def Scrolls left. 

From the bastion if you click on battles you will see a list of different types of battles.  You will see campaign, dungeon and so on.

 Siege is the battle on the far right hand side of this list.

Click on Siege, a map of our clan fortress comes up. 

Again in the 12 day long prep phase you can move your teams around.  If you move a team out of a building or post your siege DEF scroll gets refunded and you can use it someplace else.

All you need to do to collect rewards in siege is place a team in a defensive team slot during the prep phase.  The prep phase lasts 12 days.

If you place a team you get your milestone rewards.  You also get mana orbs if our mana shrines or stronghold survive.  You also get mana orbs if our clan destroys their mana shrines or strongholds.

You can also get florens if you successfully defend a team slot, or successfully attack an enemy team slot.

As your clan leader, I suggest that our main objective in siege is to build a powerful clan fortress.

Our stronghold is currently level 4. 

The maximum level for buildings in siege level 6.  

Imagine all our buildings raised to high levels with really nice bonuses set on every building.  Imagine every post with a team in it and a really tricky condition set.

During the 12 day prep phase an important goal is to repair our stronghold and other buildings which have been destroyed in the last battle.

Repairing the stronghold and other buildings is inexpensive and happens quickly.  For example it costs 750 florens it repair the stronghold because it is a level 4 stronghold.

The stronghold, when repaired can have a bonus set that effects every building in our entire clan fortress.

An important long term goal is to upgrade our stronghold to level 5.

Our stronghold is a matter of pride for our clan.  When we upgrade our stronghold it makes our entire clan fortress stronger.

Again we are then able to use our mana orbs to set bonuses in our stronghold which apply to every building in the stronghold.

Our stronghold is currently level 4.  Buildings including strongholds can be upgraded to level 6.  Other buildings can only be upgraded to the level our stronghold.

How much it costs to upgrade our stronghold is covered in the next section.

It costs 40,000 florens to upgrade our stronghold from level 4 to level 5.

So upgrading our stronghold to level 5 might take a while.

So far our mana shrines have never been destroyed

Our mana shrines should be defended at all costs.  If the mana shrines survive a siege battle the reward is mana orbs.  We get 130 orbs each or 260 orbs for defending both shines succesfully.

Defended mana shrines bring in 130 mana orbs each.  A defended stronghold only brings in 75 mana orbs. Mana shrines are important because if we succesfully defend both of them every member of our clan that places a team in a defensive team slot or wins at least one PvP slot offensive battle gets 260 mana orbs which come in really handy in siege.

Buildings just repairs itself once enough florens have been donated.

Again:

Our stronghold  costs 750 florens to repair because it is a level 4 stronghold.

Mana shrines cost 140 florens to repair.

Defence tower 5 costs 175 florens to repair because it is level 4.

Magic tower 2  and 3 costs 150 florens to repair, because they are both level 2.

Not sure of the cost to repair our other buildings as they have not been destroyed in a while.

The only hard part is getting the florens we need.  This has not been much of a problem.

Here are step by step directions. If you click on a building in the siege map a window will open. There is a button over on the top left of this window that says "update".  You click on that update button both to update and repair.

Once you click on that first update button another window opens up.  You will see two donate buttons.  The upper donate button has the word upgrade above it.  The lower donate button has the word "repair" above it. Hit the donate button you want and yet another window opens up.  Type in the amount you want to donate.  Then you can donate your florens by hitting the button.

Some of us have a favorite building in our clan fortress.  

For example I live in magic tower 1.  I have upgraded it to level 3.  I can't upgrade my magic tower again until the stronghold is uograded.

If you like a particular building feel free to move into it and repair it and upgrade it.

My suggestion is that clan members let their hearts be their guide as to where they want to donate their florins.

This is the final defense of our stronghold.

According to this defense strategy our strongest teams belong in our stronghold.  defending the stronghold is our top defensive priority!

If our stronghold gets destroyed in the battle phase, it will cost 350 florins to repair it.

Those of you who feel your place is in the stronghold by all means set up your team there. 

if we successfully defend our stronghold we get 75 mana orbs.

Defending the mana shrines is our second priority.

We currently have only two buildings left in our clan fortress that have never been destroyed.  These are our two mana shrines.

We get 260 mana orbs by defending both our shrines.  That is 130 mana orbs per shrine.

If a mana shrine gets destroyed it costs 140 florins to repair it.  This is 280 florins in repair costs if both are destroyed.

Again, I suggest that we can defend our mana shrine buildings in upcoming battles at all costs.
