Kingdom Wiki

The town center[1] is the Kingdom main structure, with which the Monarch founds and manages most of the Kingdom. Upon the start of a new Kingdom, the Monarch comes across two vagrants around an unlit campfire and a few building outlines. Once the price to light the campfire at the center is paid, the Kingdom is founded and base construction can begin.

After the campfire is ignited, the outlined buildings are automatically upgraded into tool vendors. Nearing the end of the first night, the campfire can be upgraded to the next tier, a full camp with tents. There are a total of six tiers in Classic and New Lands; and seven in Two Crowns. Most upgrades bring bonuses for the Kingdom.

In New Lands and Two Crowns the Ghost guides the Monarch through these starting tasks. The pictures show the medieval variants of the buildings. Each setting has its own architectural style.

Town square[]

The town square (or market square, or civic center) is the entire area between the two innermost walls, or wall mounds (if the walls have not been built, or if they have been destroyed).[2] It contains:

Plaza[]

Plaza

On Kingdom Wiki, the length of one town square is called plaza, and is used as a unit to measure and express large horizontal in game distances, like the range of a ballista shot.

"Plaza" replaces "screen"
It's a bit ridiculous that it can actually take a day to ride like a few screens.a player, the day after the release of Kingdom: Classic.[3]

For a couple of years, it's been relatively common for players to use "screen" as a term to express in-game distances. As time passed, and the game was released on a good variety of platforms and devices, the term "screen" would lose a lot of its initial precision. Even though it was never used to express mathematically accurate values, it became more and more confusing over time, especially once Kingdom Two Crowns introduced, on November 2021, support for wide and ultrawide screen resolutions. Since then, even customary expressions like "off screen" may denote very distinct experiences. The unit "plaza" on the other hand can be used to express an amount of horizontal in-game space without relying on equipments or zoom levels.[4]

1 screen  ≈  2/3 plaza
or
1/2 screen  ≈  1/3 plaza
or
1 plaza  ≈  1 1/2 screen

Note that, if talking specifically about Classic or New Lands, it's still fair, and sometimes even more suitable to keep using "screen" to say the distances. In those cases, it might be useful to know the relations between both units.

Tax chest[]

ClassicThis section is about Kingdom: Classic.
For the trunk in the ruins, see: Ruins § Coin chest.

At the beginning of every day, the Monarch can collect the taxes from the chest. Passing by the box, galloping or walking, triggers its opening and the coins drop on the ground. The chest disappears just after this, to repeat the same sequence the next day.

The tax chest is unlocked when the Monarch lights the campfire. The amount of gold gained from the chest increases as the camp is upgraded up to tier four, and then goes down if it's upgraded further, reaching only one coin at the maximum level. The table below highlights these values:

Tier 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
# of Coin 0 5 6 6 7 4 1

Tips[]

Kingdom: Classic Kingdom: Classic – The stone fortifications (tier 5), while giving you many upgrades for free, also drastically reduces the daily income of coins. The longer you can go with the town hall (tier 4), the farther ahead you'll be monetarily.

Kingdom: New Lands Kingdom: New Lands & Kingdom Two Crowns Two Crowns – It is a good idea to not build or upgrade the innermost walls or towers and just get (if available) the stone and iron technologies first; and then upgrade the town center.
