Early Game · Raising the Walls
Sanctuary 9–20
To upgrade your Sanctuary from level 17 to 18, you need Research Lab 17, Training Grounds 17, Herb Storage 7 and 231 Clinic stars. It costs 28.2M Grain, 28.2M Timber and 9.33M Herbs and takes 2d 13h 3m before any speed-ups. It raises your heroes’ level cap from 85 to 90.
What you need
To upgrade from Sanctuary 17 to 18.
- Research Lab 17 · my take: keep up with your Sanctuary
- Training Grounds 17 · my take: keep up with your Sanctuary
- Herb Storage 7 · my take: park for later

What it opens
More of a building
- Infirmary: you can have 3 now
- Weaving Workshop: you can have 4 now
Research (Research Lab 18)
- Prosperous Economy: Grain Protection II, Timber Protection II and Herb Protection II
- Elite Troop: DEF Drill VII, Attack Training VII and Survival Training VII
- 58 more levels of research you already have
It also lets 28 of the buildings you already have go higher. From Sanctuary 7 on, a building can only be as high as your Sanctuary, which is why the Sanctuary sets the pace for everything.
Where it fits
Sanctuary 18 is part of the early game (Sanctuary 9–20). Finding your feet: learn the world and its events, settle into an alliance, and learn to work to the clock cycles.
Next up, Sanctuary 19 asks for Research Lab 18, Warrior Statue 17 and Antitoxin Workshop 10, and takes 3d 13h 28m. Getting those ready while this upgrade runs keeps your builders busy.
