Guild basics - join, create, ranks, help and chat

Short answer: open the Guild screen, tap Join a Guild to find one, or Create a Guild once your Castle is level 3. Creating a Standard Guild is free. You can be in one guild at a time.

Join a guild

1. Open the Guild screen and choose Join a Guild.
2. Search by name or tag (Enter guild name or tag), or browse the list.
3. Tap Join or Apply to Join. What you see depends on the guild’s recruitment method:

Recruitment	What happens
Auto (Public)	You join at once, if your Might is at or above the guild’s minimum. Below it, you are refused.
Restricted (Private)	Your request shows as Applied. The guild leader or an officer (Rank 4 or 5) gets a notification and can Accept or Deny it.

Rules:

• A guild holds up to 100 members. When it is full, nobody can join or be accepted until someone leaves.
• When you join a guild, your other pending applications are canceled.
• One pending application per guild. You cannot apply to a guild while you are in another one.

Create a guild

1. Make sure your Castle is level 3 or higher. Below that, the screen shows Castle level 3 required.
2. Choose Create a Guild.
3. Fill in the form:
   • Guild Name (required): 3 to 50 characters. Letters, numbers, spaces and some symbols. No emoji.
   • Guild Tag (required): up to 4 characters.
   • Slogan (optional) and Logo.
4. Confirm. Name and tag must not already be used by another guild.

You become the Guild Leader (Rank 5). Standard Guilds have no creation or joining fee. Golden Guilds cannot be created right now.

Ranks and what each can do

Rank	What it can do
Rank 1-2	Member. Chat, send and receive Help, use the Diplomacy Board. Cannot manage members.
Rank 3	Can change the rank of members below their own, up to one rank below theirs.
Rank 4 (officer)	Accept or deny applications, kick members of lower rank, promote or demote lower ranks, edit the slogan and announcement, delete Diplomacy Board posts for their guild.
Rank 5 (leader)	Everything above, plus rename the guild, change the logo, the recruitment method and minimum Might, transfer leadership and disband.

You cannot change your own rank, and nobody can change or kick a member whose rank is equal to or higher than theirs.

New members start at Rank 1. Use Promote and Demote on a member in the Member List.

Guild Help

Guild Help shortens building and research timers, and helps with converting Ethereon.

• Use Help me on an upgrade or research that is running. Each task can ask for help once.
• Guildmates open the Guild Assist list and tap Send Help (or Help all). Each help cuts the remaining time of that task by 1%.
• The number of helps a task can receive depends on the requester’s Embassy level: 5 helps at level 1, up to 19 at level 30. Without an Embassy your requests get no helps. The Embassy unlocks at Castle 10.
• Helping earns Guild Coin. There is a daily cap (Daily cap reached) and you can spend coin in the Guild Shop tab.

Note: the in-game Help Rules window says “up to 10 helps”. The Embassy level is what sets the real limit.

Guild chat

Chat has a Guild tab that only your guild sees. Messages can be up to 512 characters.

Diplomacy Board

Every guild has a public Diplomacy Board: a message board where other guilds (and any player, even without a guild) can leave a message, for example to propose peace or a trade.

1. Open a guild’s page and choose Diplomacy Board.
2. Type in Leave a message for this guild and tap Send. If you are in a guild, the post shows as “Posting as [TAG] Name”.
3. Posts are limited to 512 characters, and you can post once every 2 seconds.

Only officers and the leader (Rank 4 or 5) of the guild that owns the board can Delete posts.

Leave, hand over or disband

• Leave Guild (Manage). You cannot leave while you hold a fortress, or while one of your armies is in a rally battle.
• Transfer Leadership (leader only). Choose a member and confirm. You become Rank 4.
• If the leader leaves, leadership goes automatically to the highest-ranked member (most Might breaks ties). If the guild has no other member, it is deleted. A leader who holds the fortress Overlord title cannot leave.
• Disband Guild (leader only). All members are removed and all guild information is erased for good. You cannot disband while the guild holds a fortress or any member is in a rally battle.
• Kick Member: officers and leader can remove members of lower rank.

Players who stay offline for 30 days or more (slightly longer if the castle sits in a development zone) lose their castle’s place on the map and are removed from their guild. A leader who is that inactive hands the guild to the most active member first.

If something goes wrong

• “Castle level 3 required”: upgrade your Castle to level 3. See Castle and buildings.
• You cannot join: the guild may be full, set to Auto with a Might minimum you do not meet, or you may already be in another guild. Try another guild or ask an officer to accept your application.
• You cannot leave or disband: finish or recall your rally army, and check whether you or the guild hold a fortress. See Fortress.
• Your name, tag or guild looks wrong, or you were removed without a reason: open a ticket from Setting → More → Support. Include your player name, the guild name and the time. See Contact support.
