Guides for Build a Medieval Army
Learn the tycoon loop: recruit, raid flags, hold the hill, defend, and prestige.
This Guides Hub is the playbook for Build a Medieval Army, ZedCo’s Roblox tycoon also known as Medieval War Tycoon. Whether you just spawned at a bare base or you are planning your next prestige for exclusive units, these walkthroughs explain the systems that actually move your income and win rates: army recruitment, flag theft, hill control, base defense, and prestige timing.

PC navigation shows at most eight dropdown rows, then View all into this hub—open here for the full guide list. New players who already redeemed codes on the Codes Hub should still read How to Play before dumping everything into one flashy soldier. The game rewards map control more than a single expensive unit.
Core gameplay pillars
Recruit an army. Your tycoon purchases and upgrades troops that fight for you. Early composition should favor reliable flag pressure and base coverage over prestige showpieces you cannot afford to replace.
Steal flags, return home. Aggression pays when you escort enemy flags back to your base for cash. Dying mid-return wastes tempo; read the capture guide for escort habits and timing.
Claim the hilltop. The hilltop flag grants +20% income while you hold it. Contested hills are where matches swing—pair capture skills with defense so you do not donate the bonus to rivals.
Defend the base. Income means nothing if enemies empty your yard. Layer units, use choke awareness, and know which gamepasses actually help defense versus vanity.
Prestige for exclusives. Prestige is the long-term progression spike. Use the Income Prestige Planner and the prestige guide before you reset, then target prestige units that match your playstyle.
Account bonuses worth grabbing early
- Premium members earn +10% cash — a quiet multiplier that stacks with hill control (Cash Multipliers Guide).
- Join the ZedCo group for a free Praetorian soldier.
- Redeem active codes (cash, XP, prestige, effects) via the gear icon → Codes → Enter. Details live on How to Redeem Codes.
- Rebuild after wipes with Army Composition and dodge traps on Common Mistakes.
How guides connect to the rest of the wiki
After you understand the loop, open the Units Hub for roster roles, the Tier List Hub for troop and gamepass priority, and Controls Hub if the UI or camera feels awkward on your device. When you research automation, read the Scripts Hub warnings first—ban risk is real. Patch cadence and opinionated verdicts live under Updates Hub and the Review.
How we write these guides
Each guide focuses on decisions you can make in a live server: what to buy next, when to leave base, when to commit to the hill, and when prestige is worth the reset. We avoid filler checklists that repeat the same paragraph on every page. If a mechanic changes after a ZedCo update, start at Updates, then revisit the matching guide and the troops tier list.
Use this hub as your table of contents. Pick the guide that matches today’s goal—faster income, cleaner flag runs, a sturdier castle, or a prestige unlock—and jump in.
