- Castles generate resources, gain 750 HP every 15 mins, and can only be built in certain places including where castles start on the map and 4 contested spots that become available at 40 mins.

- Your Faction Leader generates income for you while in cities that have trade workshops, look in Hints to see the details and remember you only get half if your Faction Leader is in your own city

- If your Faction Leader dies, you can make your Faction Heir(s) into the new Leader by placing them in the flags and your capital and paying 3000 gold.

- Elite Units are special units that can be bought at certain places on the map. Every faction has an elite unit available at their capital and can create other factions units if they rebuild on an enemy's main castle. These units are purchased by your Faction Leader.

- Mercenaries are available around the map, these can be hired by either buying them with your merchant, or owning their tent which makes them spawn every 10 mins for free.

- Elite unit spawns are located at Volantis, Myr, Tyrosh, Dorne(far west), Braavos, Qohor, Astapor, New Ghis, Qarth, Sothoryos(far south), Bone Mountains(northeast), Vaes Dothrak, and Ibben.

- The Prince that was promised is a player randomly selected at the beginning to receive Mellisandre and a buff to their Faction Leader. Mellisandre is able to Build Asshai in the far east by standing in front of the statue there. Owning Asshai will give the player 1000 Gold every 15 mins.

- The Prince that was promised can open the sand road to Yi Ti in the Northeast and recruit them by bringing a relic and himself to them.

- Daenareys Targaryen is spawned at Vaes Dothrak near the beginning. She is able to marry any of the faction leaders if they are both placed on the flags. Keep her in the castle to get marriage tributes (not necessary if married to the Khal). She is also able to purchase Unsullied at half price.

- In Sothoryos to the south, any player can open the path to Yeen by putting their leader in front of the statue on the island. But think twice before you do it because it damages your leader by 500 hp. Owning Yeen will get you 500 Wood and 500 Gold every 15 mins.

- Walls are disabled outside of cities, and gates can only be built for 500 stone by putting your merchant in the flags at your castle

- Sellsword Companies are available for hire for the right price. They can be hired at their tent for 10k gold (15k for Golden Company) by your merchant while you own the tent. They include the Windblown Company, the Golden Company, The Second Sons, The Company of the Rose, The Long Lances, and the Unsullied. All of these excluding the Unsullied are a one time purchase.
