Mining resources (RSS) in Villages is one of the most important ways to grow your city in Total Battle. Gathering provides the Food, Lumber, Stone, Iron, Silver, Gold, and Tar needed for:

Troop Training

Building Upgrades

Research

Equipment Crafting

Event Participation

Understanding where you can safely gather — and how to follow Kingdom ROE — protects your troops, prevents compensation issues, and helps you grow without unnecessary losses.

 ⚖️ Kingdom ROE – Resources (RSS)

Our Kingdom Rules of Engagement strictly protect occupied and clan-owned resources.

6A. Resources include:

Iron

Stone

Lumber

Food

Silver

Gold

Tar

6B. ALL OCCUPIED RESOURCES ARE PROTECTED

🚨 Do NOT attack an occupied mine or village

If troops are already gathering there → it is protected

This rule applies at ALL times

This includes during Clash for the Throne (CoT)

Occupied Villages may NOT be attacked under any circumstances.

6C. Player-Created Villages

Villages created by ROE-compliant players are:

Off limits

May NOT be occupied

May NOT be attacked

Regardless of their map location

These are identified by:

Created by: [CLAN] PlayerName

6D. Clan Territory Resources

All RSS mines located inside another Clan’s Territory are:

❌ Off limits
❌ May NOT be mined
❌ May NOT be attacked

This includes:

Dragon Mounds (DMs)

Wellsprings (WSs)

Clan Territory resources belong to that Clan.

6E. Illegal Occupation

If a player illegally occupies:

A Clan Territory Village

A Player-Created Village

The owning:

Player or

Clan

May remove the illegal occupier without notice.

RG assistance may also be requested through:

K283 / RG

⛏️ How Villages Work

Villages are temporary resource nodes on the Kingdom Map that:

Provide large amounts of RSS

Can be mined by sending Gathering Marches

Are vulnerable while occupied

May be attacked ONLY if:

Neutral

Unoccupied

Not player-created

Not inside Clan Territory

🛡️ Protecting Your Troops While Mining

While gathering:

Troops are outside your City

Cannot be Peace Shielded

Are vulnerable to attack (if neutral mine)

Safety Tips:

✅ Gather inside Clan Territory whenever possible
✅ Use lower tier troops for gathering (not combat troops)
✅ Avoid mining near enemy players
✅ Recall immediately if an incoming attack appears
✅ Mine during safe times (not during CoK / Kill Events)
 

⚔️ If You Are Attacked While Mining

Save the Battle Report

Confirm:

Was the Village Neutral?

Was it Occupied?

Was it Player-Created?

Was it inside Clan Territory?

If ROE was violated:

Contact Clan Leader/Diplomat

Do NOT retaliate

Compensation may be required from attacker
