How a night of Thronefall works
By day you spend gold on a small kingdom. By night the roads fill up. The useful skill is knowing which of those two hours you are in.
Three steps before you memorize a build
First, read the arrow that shows where the night will arrive. Second, put the early gold into houses or the hero, using the first-upgrade page if you want the community default. Third, keep a squad that can walk, because a perfect wall on the wrong road still loses the castle.
Crowns, shrine timing, unit orders, Eternal Trials, and the save path each have their own page. Stuffing them into this one would hide the question you actually searched.
