Songs of Conquest: How to get more troops

So you'll never run out of troops.

When conquering the land in Songs of Conquest, you’ll need a lot of human resources to battle enemies standing in your way of claiming farms, settlements, and fortresses. You need to constantly gather troops, and there is a simple way to get more of them.

How to get more troops in Songs of Conquest

The troop menu in the Excavation site in Songs of Contest.
You’ll always need more troops. Screenshot by Dot Esports.

In both the Campaign and Conquest mode, you have to find old camps while exploring the map and use buildings to recruit specific types of troops. You start with only two building slots, allowing you to build one or two buildings focused on producing troops or resources. As you gain experience and resources, you can upgrade your Excavation site or claimed Settlements to unlock more building sites.

You’ll have to take your Wielder to the Excavation site or a claimed Settlement to draft the troops. If you are far away exploring, you’ll need to take several turns to get more troops. That’s why you’ll still have to explore and look for old camps to find troops on the way.

If you only click on the Excavation site without sending the Wielder to interact with it, you’ll be drafting the troops to defend your place. You should regularly draft these troops so you can accumulate them and move them to a Wielder later.

Another method is recruiting another Wielder after you upgrade the Excavation site to deliver troops where you need them. Use the new Wielder to get as many troops as you can from the buildings, make the two Wielders meet halfway, and trade the troops between them.

If you wish to increase the number of troops you can travel with, you’ll have to level up and choose the option to increase the number of troop slots and build an academy and spend ancient amber to increase the troop size in the Human Research area.

Every building that make troops in Songs of Conquest

Each faction has a different set of troops, but they all follow the same model with seven buildings producing troops. You have smaller and weaker melee and ranged troops that can be upgraded to increase the damage they deal and some bigger and stronger troops such as a knight, a dragon, and even a Faey Queen.

The better the troop, the more resources you’ll need to spend to get it and the best buildings have a pre-requisite to be built. Here are all the buildings you can place near your Excavation site and claimed settlements in Songs of Conquest:
