Your home island is your base in Ove. Nobody can attack it, nothing on it ever resets, and everything you build there keeps working while you are away. This is where your Soulstones are mined, your army is recruited and your spells are cast.
What you start with
10'000'000Soulstones to build with.- An army of
50'000× Druid Naki and 
20'000× Pangoanon your portal. - 37 building plots. 6 come with a site ready to use: 1 Pangoan Desert, 1 Guard Naki Bastion, 3 Soulstone Mines and 1 Temple of the Ancients. The other 31 are locked recruitment plots.
Building sites
Each plot holds one site. There are three things you can do with a plot:
- Unlock a locked plot for its unlock cost. It then works as the site it shows. Locked plots already count toward a site's maximum.
- Build a different site on an unlocked plot, for the new site's build cost. The new site starts at level 1; the old one and its levels are gone. This is how you get Markets, Forges, Settlements and every other site that does not appear on a new island. The Temple is the one site you can neither replace nor build.
- Level up a site, up to level 9. Each level costs about twice the one before.
Building a site earns 25 ranking points, and a level-up to level n earns 10 × n.
How much army it can hold
Your home island holds up to 15'000'000 strength of units. Settlements raise the limit. Once it is full, new recruits are turned into ranking points instead of joining your army, so keep an eye on it as your recruitment grows.
First steps
- Collect your mines regularly and take them to level 3: those upgrades pay for themselves within about three weeks.
- Unlock a few recruitment plots so your army grows while you are offline.
- Cast a free spell at the Temple, for example Soulstone Blessing.
- Take your army to an event island and start harvesting Wild Essence.
- Then add the special sites one by one: a Settlement before your army hits the limit, an Artifact Forge for daily artifacts, a Nexus or Market once Wild Essence comes in.
The island-building guide walks through these decisions in more detail.
