King of Greed

King of Greed

How the King of Greed engine works

Greed's army is its bank balance. A Mercenary plot always holds one unit for every 9 gold you have, a Vault pays 3 gold per level each year and levels itself, and the Dispenser gains 0.5% attack speed for each gold you earn. The Palace's ray kills its target outright, and golden enemies drop gold. Every one of those rewards holding money, so the hard choice each year is what to leave unbought. Over-invest costs 30 gold for +15% to every stat of one plot, and that same 30 gold is three Mercenaries gone. Spend early and the army shrinks with the treasury.

Cards that carry King of Greed

  • MercenaryTroop

    One more unit for every 9 gold you hold, so the plot is as big as your purse. Saving makes it stronger and every purchase shrinks it.

  • DispenserTower

    Gains 0.5% attack speed for each gold you earn and x1.7 attack a level. It grows from income where Mercenaries grow from savings, so the two do not fight over the same gold.

  • CampBuilding · King of Nomads

    A King of Nomads card worth going to war for. Beside the Mercenary plot it adds 2% to every stat each time a card lands on an empty plot.

Card stats per level

Playing a card onto its own plot again levels it up. Multipliers stack: a card at level 3 carries its level-up boost twice.
