Greetings, your Grace! 👑
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rodovia - a series designed to prepare you for ascension to the throne! 📖 Thanks to the following entries, you will learn how to manage your kingdom and your subjects, make crucial, even fateful decisions, and safeguard your reign from premature demise. In each subsequent post, we will take a closer look at a different gameplay element and explain the basic mechanics that govern the world of Crown of Greed, so be sure to follow them carefully.
Today, our steps will not be directed towards the battlefield, but deeper into our city. This doesn't mean we're shelving our sword - no, we're not! There are many ways to cultivate your combat skills, and some of them lie outside the standard battlefield. We believe that today's topic will ignite your curiosity and that after reading today's chronicles you will be able to put the new information to good use - all for the safety and glory of your kingdom!
Magic and blades - the true proctors of your land
Even the most financially, administratively, and constructionally skilled kings will not survive long in the hostile lands of Rodovia. No without their mercenary hero defenders!

That's why we need powerful spells and trained warriors to drive them away!

Picture this: how is a fresh, inexperienced adventurer supposed to survive the late-game, where enemies grow terrifyingly strong, and every remaining quest is a dangerous gamble? Truly, nobody would want to trade places with them. Fortunately, a wise king like you has a solution to this problem... Let's see how you can grant your new heroes a good start into their new role, how can you support more experienced adventurers in their training and how to get access to the most powerful magic out there!
The Arena
The ringing of steel, the snap of bowstrings, and the roar of combat fill the air around the arena. Welcome to the place where your heroes can train safely, free from the threat of death - though you’ll soon discover the Arena has far more to offer. Every wise ruler, especially one who has reached the later stages of the game, should consider building an Arena. Why is that, you ask?
THESE TWO BUILDINGS CAN CHANGE THE FACE OF YOUR FOOTHOLD
What can the Arena do for you?
• enables hero training
• generates passive gold income
• unlocks the ability to develop skill technologies for heroes
• technologies, among many other things, allow the recruitment of heroes with higher starting levels
• can be upgraded to tier 2 which also affect the availability of skill tiers
We’ll go over each of these points shortly, as they all deserve a bit more clarification, but we are sure you can already see that the Arena is quite handy!
The training:
As we mentioned earlier, each of your recruited heroes can enter the Arena to train their combat abilities on its sands. It turns out that, just like most things in the kingdom of Rodovia, this choice comes
