Resource-pack inventory #

Buy Wood, Food, Stone, or Metal packs using account Gems. Buying adds an unopened pack to account inventory; it does not immediately fill a city. Use the pack in a selected owned city. One whole pack is consumed, only available Warehouse space is credited, and excess resources are discarded—even when the city is already full. There are no Crystal or Gem resource packs in this catalog.

Use the correct speed-up #

Construction items shorten one active building order. Training items shorten recruitment, trading-ship construction, Prince training, or the active military improvement order. Research items shorten the account-wide University project. Types are not interchangeable. Items affect the selected active order, not all orders or traveling expeditions.

Unused time is lost #

One item removes up to its duration or the remaining time of the active order, whichever is smaller. The entire item is consumed; leftover minutes do not carry into another batch. Improvement successors move forward by the actual time saved, and improved soldiers already completed remain available.

Payments and availability #

The tables here describe in-game Gem purchases, not purchases on this website. Gem/VIP test packs are simulation-only catalog entries, not a promise of live checkout. VIP subscription availability depends on the game server configuration.
