🍪 COOKIE VERSION
Heroes lead the troops.
The Chief builds the army.
🔥 Furnace = Progression Gate
Your Furnace controls much of your city progression.
Before random upgrades, ask:
"Does this help me reach my next Furnace Level?"
If yes, great.
If not, it may be able to wait.
🔬 Keep Research Working
Research creates permanent bonuses.
Small permanent improvements stack over time.
🍪 COOKIE TIP
An idle Research Center isn't helping you.
🪖 Keep Training Troops
Train enough troops to fill your March Queues, then promote older troops as higher tiers become available.
⚠️ BEGINNER MISTAKE
More low-tier troops are not automatically better than fewer strong troops.
⚡ Chief Stamina
Chief Stamina is used for activities such as Beasts and Polar Terrors.
Natural Stamina regenerates over time.
🍪 COOKIE RULE
Use your natural Stamina so you do not sit capped forever, but be thoughtful about burning stored Stamina items.
🏠 Chief's House
The Chief's House gives you temporary Orders.
⏱️ Double Time
Use Double Time before starting a long construction, not after.
Yes, we will keep reminding you.

🧥 Chief Gear — Furnace 22
Chief Gear is different from Hero Gear.
Hero Gear improves individual Heroes.
Chief Gear improves troop stats across your account.
💎 Chief Charms — Furnace 25
Chief Charms attach to Chief Gear and improve troop combat stats such as Health and Lethality.
Don't worry if you are not there yet.
🍪 SO WHAT SHOULD A NEW CHIEF DO?
- Keep progressing the Furnace.
- Keep builders busy.
- Keep Research running.
- Keep troops training.
- Develop useful Heroes.
- Use natural Stamina.
- Help the Alliance.
⚠️ DON'T CHASE POWER JUST TO CHASE POWER
Power is useful, but it does not tell the full story.
