Relics - All you need to know!

Relics Overview

The Relics is a dynamic feature that allows you to find, collect, and utilize Relics to gain strategic advantages within the game. 
Relics provide specific bonuses to villages, enhancing gameplay through strategic placement, merging, and acquisition.


Initial Selection
Upon accessing the Relics, you can choose one of the four Relics as your starter. These Relics will bear your name, personalizing the journey.

Collecting Relics
Players can acquire Relics through various means, such as initial selection upon entering the Relics system, conquering villages, and finding Relics when taking over barbarian villages. When you are the first player to find a Relic, the Relic will bear your name. 

Relic Types, Stats, Classes
- Types: Relics can take forms such as Swords, Bows, Axes, etc. See the full list in the table below.
- Main Stats: These are fixed based on the relic type and offer bonuses related to specific units, like increasing offensive and defensive power. Check the table below for more details. 
- Sub Stats: These provide random buffs and can be re-rolled to suit your needs better.  Sub Stats are taken from the list of Main Stats, and there cannot be two identical Sub Stat bonuses on the same Relic.
- There are 5 different types of Classes: Shoddy, Basic, Enhanced, Superior, and Renowned. The higher the Class, the better the Stats, and the further its reach.

Merging Relics
Relics of the same type that are merged (e.g., 3 swords) will change the following aspects:
    - The main relic will upgrade but remain the same type, so a sword stays a sword but becomes of higher quality.
    - The relic image changes to a higher-quality image.
    - The relic name and color will change to a higher quality.
    - The relic buff types stay the same, but the numerical values increase.
    - The relic range can increase.

You can also merge relics of different types, but they must be of the same quality. This will change the following aspects:
    - The main relic will change into a random relic of a higher quality.
    - All stats of the newly merged item will differ from the upgraded item.
    - The relic image changes to a higher-quality image.
    - The relic name and color will change to a higher quality.
    - The relic buffs will be randomized, but the numerical values will change to a higher quality.
    - The relic range can increase

Relics Management
- Treasury: Here you can manage your Relics. It houses the relic inventory, where you can merge or equip Relics.
- Relic Placement:  You can assign Relics to villages to grant bonuses within a specific radius. Only up to 10 villages can have Relics at a time, requiring strategic deployment.
- You can remove Relics from villages to reposition them or use them for merging.
- Note: Once you assign a Relic to a specific village, there is a 24-hour cooldown until you can exchange or remove the Relic. 

Finding Relics
- Relics can be captured by conquering another player’s village containing a Relic, or any other village on the map. 

Relic Range and Map Display
- Each Relic affects a defined area around the village. Relics of a higher Class have a wider influence.
- The effect radius is visible on the map when hovering over your villages with Relics, providing a clear view of its influence.
