🧱 Materials

Materials Overview

Materials encompass all transportable assets in Blitz, including:

• Resources: 9 distinct resource types that can be produced on Realms.
• Food: Essential wheat that fuels production and troop movement.
• Troops: Military units (Knights, Crossbowmen, Paladins) that can be assigned to armies.
• Donkeys: One-time-use transport units required for moving materials across the world.
• Labor: A special material that enables construction and production.
• Essence: A new strategic resource found through exploration and required for building, production, and upgrades.

While all materials can be transported within the game, no materials can be bridged out of Blitz. Players may only bridge Relics into the game.

Material Categories

Resources

Resources are the foundation of the economy. The 9 resources play vital roles in Blitz, from basic production to advanced military operations.

Food

Food is the cornerstone of a Realm's economy and is required in all production chains. Only wheat is available in Blitz and it can be produced without inputs.

Troops

Troops are required to defend your holdings and strike out at your foes. When produced, they can be transported between your Realms by donkey like any other material, but to be used they must be deployed to an army. Once deployed, they cannot be converted back into material form.

Donkeys

Donkeys are essential for moving materials between your Realms. They only require a market and wheat to produce, but are consumed after a single journey.

Labor

Labor is a key component in the construction of all buildings and required for 'simple mode' production. It is produced by burning resources, with rarer resources yielding more labor.

Essence

Essence is a new material that can only be found by exploring the map and interacting with World Structures. It is required in all Realm upgrades, as well as for some building construction and production of high-tier troops.
