Your primary goal on Day 2 of a new server launch in Conquest of Nine Kingdoms is to replace low-tier starter tiles with higher-yield resource nodes while keeping your marching squads active.
To maintain competitive resource income and prepare for early faction skirmishes, abandon weak tiles as territory caps approach, concentrate combat experience into a single primary hero squad, and spend troop stamina continuously without letting it sit at maximum capacity.
Territory Node Optimization and Marching Tempo
Once tutorial tasks are complete, low-tier resource tiles become a bottleneck. Because territory slots are limited, low-yield nodes hold back the hourly income required for mid-tier city upgrades.
- Scout Before Committing: Send marches only to tiles your primary squad can clear reliably. Taking heavy casualties increases healing queue times and stalls expansion tempo.
- Abandon Low-Level Tiles: As your army strength increases, relinquish basic starter nodes to free up territory limits for higher-level resource tiles.
- Spend Stamina Efficiently: Avoid letting squad stamina cap out. If high-level target nodes are out of reach, use remaining stamina to secure mid-tier tiles along your planned expansion path.
- Upgrade Medical and Barracks Facilities: If healing times begin delaying your marches, prioritize military and recovery building upgrades to sustain active expansion.
Banner Summoning and Squad Development
Day 2 introduces tougher neutral nodes that require dedicated hero synergies. Spreading resources across multiple secondary commanders slows overall progression.
- Primary Squad Focus: Direct available hero experience and level upgrades into your main marching squad first. A single strong squad captures higher-tier nodes far more effectively than multiple weak teams.
- Hero Banners: Spend accumulated currency on available limited or rate-up hero banners to secure high-tier commanders for your main lineup.
- Defensive Positioning: Station your strongest squad at border nodes or main bases near neighboring players to deter opportunistic attacks during expansion pushes.

Can you add more details about heroes in a future update?
This guide answered the exact question I had.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
