The 10-Step Quickstart Checklist

Your first 7 days come with beginner’s protection, and what you build defines your campaign. The exact 10-step quickstart checklist to start strong in Prestige: Kingdom War.

Updated June 16, 2026

Your first 7 days in Prestige: Kingdom War come with beginner’s protection — you can’t be attacked until it ends (or you reach 3rd Baron). What you build in that window defines your whole campaign. Here’s the exact checklist to start strong.

The one rule
Never leave a build or training queue idle, and never overflow your Warehouse. Wasted capacity is the only thing that truly slows a new player down.

The 10-step quickstart

  • 1. Clear the Task list. Complete tasks one by one — each pays resources and Prestige and teaches a system.
  • 2. Upgrade your Main Building first. It sets your population cap, which limits everything else.
  • 3. Build your resource fields. Lumber Mills, Stone Mines, Iron Mines, and Croplands — keep them balanced.
  • 4. Upgrade your Warehouse. Overflow is lost forever; raise storage before big reward collections.
  • 5. Prioritize Cropland. Crop feeds your army — under-build it and your troops starve later.
  • 6. Build your Barracks and train a starter army before protection ends.
  • 7. Join an active Alliance. The single biggest free power boost — reinforcement, advice, and targets.
  • 8. Upgrade your Cranny. It protects resources from raids once you become a target.
  • 9. Start Technology research. Begin with Planting and the resource techs — they’re empire-wide.
  • 10. Send troops to hunt before logging off. They earn Money and Treasure while you’re away and stay safe from attacks.
Before protection ends
Aim to have a defended city (walls, Cranny, garrison), a working economy, and an alliance behind you before you hit 3rd Baron — that’s when the gloves come off.
