Tips and frequently asked questions

These are the questions already on the Crown Siege Steam board on 19 September 2026, plus the facts sitting in official posts. If a row has no official answer, the page says so instead of guessing.

Do Archer upgrades also buff Rangers? Knight upgrades and Pikes?

No official answer yet. Two copies of the same thread asked this on launch day. Until a tooltip or a developer post says inheritance is on or off, treat each unit line as its own spend.

Are Scouts worth levelling?

No official answer yet. A player who tried to level them called them starting trash and asked if they were secretly strong. Scout is a 100% achievement, so every save has the unit. That is all we can confirm.

How do I get Ember?

No official answer yet. A thread titled how do i get ember has no developer reply we can cite. Crowns, experience and unit-specific SP are the three currencies the 12 September post names. If Ember is a fourth resource, it is not in that post and not in v1.0.1_a.

Healers do nothing in Goblin Lair

Player report. One thread says Healers stand idle in Goblin Lair and heal normally on every other biome. Goblin Lair is not an achievement name. If you can reproduce it, the pinned Bug Reports thread wants OS, specs, and the version string in the bottom right of the main menu.

The game is too hard after the toad / I cannot reach the wheat region

That complaint is from 18 September, before v1.0.1_a. The patch lowered scaling and capped the late game. Update, then retry the same tree before you reroll. Frog Queen at 49.7% is the achievement that matches a toad boss report; we still have not seen the in-game name on a health bar.

The new patch crashes my PC

Player report, after v1.0.1_a. No workaround on this site. Bug Reports thread, with the version string.

Is there a Sandbox?

Yes. Launch post. Take unlocked content in. The developers make no promise it stays smooth at the extreme.

Which languages shipped?

English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, LATAM Spanish. That list is from the 18 September post. The June Next Fest demo already had most of these.

Where is the version number?

Bottom right of the main menu. Official bug-report template.

Demo tips from the Chinese board

A demo-era post recommended: money first, then the tower, then gold infantry, then ranged, then melee; dump the army on the boss for the first five stages; from stage 7 use soldiers plus mages; wait out a fire dragon's splash before dumping archers. That is a demo-era player report. 1.0 rewrote the map into nodes. Do not follow stage numbers from the demo.
