Sanctuary 28
Mid Game · The Long Siege
Sanctuary 21–29
To upgrade your Sanctuary from level 27 to 28, you need Research Lab 27, Barracks 27, Lumberyard 13 and 326 Clinic stars. It costs 731M Grain, 731M Timber and 237M Herbs and takes 60d 17h 20m before any speed-ups. It raises your heroes’ level cap from 135 to 140.
What you need
To upgrade from Sanctuary 27 to 28.
- Research Lab 27 · my take: keep up with your Sanctuary
- Barracks 27 · my take: keep up with your Sanctuary
- Lumberyard 13 · my take: park for later
- 326 Clinic stars. Upgrade your Wards to earn them.
Those buildings have needs of their own. The Sanctuary build path plans every step from Sanctuary 27, on as many build queues as you have.

What it opens
Research (Research Lab 28)
- 25 more levels of research you already have
It also lets 30 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 28 is part of the mid game (Sanctuary 21–29). Level up and contribute to your alliance. The hard part: upgrades stretch from days to weeks.
Next up, Sanctuary 29 asks for Research Lab 28, Alliance Hall 28 and Herb Garden 13, and takes 78d 22h 32m. Getting those ready while this upgrade runs keeps your builders busy.
