How Oasis Bonuses Work

Oases are some of the most valuable real estate on a kingdom-war map: occupy one and it pumps bonus resources into your cities for as long as you hold it. But the bonus only pays off if you can defend it. Here’s how oasis bonuses work and how to get the most from them.

What an oasis bonus does

When you occupy an oasis, it grants an ongoing production bonus to your cities — extra resources every hour, automatically, with no further effort beyond holding the tile. In Prestige: Kingdom War, occupied oases feed bonus production directly into your economy for as long as the occupation lasts. It’s passive income that compounds the longer you keep it.

Higher levels, bigger bonuses

• ▸Higher-level oases give larger bonuses — but they’re defended by tougher forces and are bigger targets for rivals.
• ▸Match the oasis to your strength. A high-level oasis you can’t take or hold is worth nothing; a modest one you keep for weeks adds up.
• ▸Watch for decay or upkeep. Some games (Prestige included) reduce an unmanaged oasis’s value over time, so hold ones you’ll actually keep active rather than hoarding tiles you ignore.

Holding the bonus

Getting the most from oases

• ▸Match the oasis type to the resource you need most.
• ▸Cluster your holdings near your cities and alliance so you can reinforce quickly.
• ▸Don’t overextend into oases you can’t defend — an undefended bonus tile is just a gift to your neighbor.

The bigger picture

Oases are one part of map control. For taking and holding territory in general, see the fort & territory control guide, and for fitting the bonus into your wider economy, the resource management guide.
