The Guide: Improvements
Haha you think you can improve yourself. Well you are correct. You can invest your resources into several areas to gain bonuses either for yourself or for your whole realm. The maximum amount you can invest in realm improvements is depending on the number of kingdoms in your realm although an initial investment of 250,000 is allowed but not for your first 12 hours. This is because realm improvements are supposed to be a team-effort not a one-man-job You cannot invest into realm improvements while you are in protection if the round started for more than 6 days.

The table below lists into which improvements you can invest and the maximum bonus you can acquire (before bonuses from alchemies and laboratories).

Below is also a summary how many improvement points each resource yields. As you can see diamonds are by far the most effective resource to invest into improvements.

Realm improvements... The bonus you get from normal kingdom improvements are based on your land size, your investment and the amount of alchemies and laboratories you have. The realm investment bonus is based on the realm size, total investment and the percentage of alchemies in your kingdom.

Corruption
As your kingdom grows your citizens will become more corrupt. Resources produced or set aside for exploration or construction works will be stolen by corrupt citizens. What causes corruption? Large kingdoms have more corrupt citizens than small kingdoms. Very rich kingdoms with huge amounts of gold in the treasury will also suffer from high corruption. Kingdoms in realms with faith anarchy will also have extra corrupt citizens for a short amount of time.

What can be done to prevent this? Investments in policing and court houses will help! Lets say you have 50% base corruption, 8% invested in policing and 10% court houses... Then you'll end up with 50%-8%-10%=32% corruption.

32% corruption means that you earn 32% less resources including gold. Food is not affected by corruption.

Corruption will only change at hourchanges, so if you spent all that gold that made your citizens corrupt you have to wait one hourchange for the corruption to disappear.


Bonuses
All the different kinds of bonuses and penalties in Legends of Elveron are added together before they are applied to the raw numbers. If corruption affects the specific resource type then corruption is applied after bonuses. Your kingdom can receive bonuses from kingdom improvements, realm improvements, racial bonuses, heroes, relics, faiths, wars and buildings.
