New competition have been implemented into the game, which allow you to fight and become the king of the entire land. Resources can be obtained via upgrading resource buildings in the town, undertaking marches to resource locations on the global map and attacking towns of other players. Each in-game upgrade requires special resources – lumber, iron, food, stone, silver or the in-game currency 'gold'. Players create and develop their own clans, train troops and upgrade their heroes and their towns. The main game goal is to capture the place of power – a unique location placed at the center of every kingdom. Each clan has the ruling hierarchy from a ranker to the chief, and each player has their correspondent authority extent. In Vikings: War of Clans, players have to cooperate with each other to create their own clan.
