Intro[]

The Castle gate gives a bonus to the defense of the front of your Castle. Every time you upgrade the gate, gate protection is increased. It is possible to have over than 600% gate protection. When you begin, you start with a Level 1 gate.

Note[]

You can further boost your Gate Defense Bonus in these ways:

  • Review your Castellan's equipment such as helmet, artifact, armor and weapon and swap them out for any items that have 'increase gate protection by (+X%) etc'. This is a useful thing to do anyway once you've captured an outpost as items that were good for attack is: 'occupation time decreased' are now pointless if your castellan is now going to defend the outposts. The picture below has the mouse hovering over the castellan and you can read +10% gate protection plus all it's other attributes. (It has a weapon that gives +5% gate protection and armor giving him another +5% gate protection). This outpost has a Level 3 gate giving a gate defense bonus of 60% (see table above) and adding the castellan's equipment you can see the total gate defense bonus is 70%.
Castellan-0

You can boost equipment further by visiting Technicus when he drops by and upgrading whatever it is you want to boost (gate, walls, speed etc) to increase the %.

  • Buy a portcullis from the armorer, master blacksmith, and special offers, or reinforced portcullis from nomad events, and sometimes from special offers. Both items add +75% gate protection when you add this item to a castle gate slot. 

It is possible to have over 600% gate protection with this condition:

    • Castle gate level 8 (200%)
    • 2 Portcullises (150%) or 2 Thunder crash bomb (+160% gate protection and +180% combat strength for ranged units in defense)
    • Relic equipment (160%)
    • Additional relic gem bonus (60%)
    • Additional relic hero bonus (60%)
    • Additional bonus from Hall Of Legends (30%)
  • If you are a Legendary Level player with the Hall of Legends building, you can also increase gate protection with the skill of "Gatekeeper", which can get you 30% bonus gate protection.
  • Relic castellan will give you extra +160% gate protection, if you have a relic with high gate protection, +60% from relic gems, and +60% from relic heroes, which is only worked for one targets (NPC or castle lords).
  • Reinforced Portcullis gives you more Khan medal bonus, if you successfully defended against Khan camp, when you taunt that. Remember, you must have a maximum rage points in order to taunt.
  • You can use trebuchet as alternative of Portcullis, which gives gate protection and combat strength for ranged units in defense.
