The Basics
Besides managing your cards and battling it out on the battlefield, the other important part of Valkyria Duel is the management of your base. You should not neglect this part as it will really help your troops in battle: Training facilities, item shops, coalition halls and other buildings can be built.
Note that your current supplies of DCT (money), food, steel and ragnite will be displayed in the top right corner most of the time. By clicking on the graphics, you can switch between different informations: Current stocks → Per hour production of the resource (and remaining time of the production boost if you bought one) → Time until the resource has reached its maximum capacity.
Constructing Facilities
To build any kind of facility, you can either klick on an empty square in your base overview, or follow the directions of Menu → Construction (button in the upper right corner). This will give you a list of all the kind of facilities you have not yet built and are available to you. You will unlock more buildings when leveling up your base.
After clicking on the type of facility you wish to built, you will see its costs regarding DCT (money), food, steel and ragnite, the time the construction will take as well as a description of what this building is and in which way it will help you. Press the big button in the middle at the bottom to get into construction mode where you can place your facility. You can start the construction process by clicking the button in the upper right corner. The one below it will rotate your building if it has no square size. After confirming the construction order, the process will start and you will see a timer in the bottom left corner, counting down the time until the building is ready for use.
You can only have two buildings in your construction queue at a time, and only one is actively constructed! Take this into account if you need to have a building on the map quick: Put it there in the first place, as it will not be constructed at the same time as a building that is already being worked on.
Note that you can obtain and buy items to get another building slot, and that the construction time can also be diminished by upgrading your Terminal.
Upgrading Facilities
All of the facilities you have already built can and should be upgraded to gain more benefits and bonuses. A lot of buildings need to have a different facility at a certain level before they can be constructed in the first place!
The upgrading command for a facility is always the button on the top of the menu list to the left of the building's information sheet. By clicking on it, you will get the same kind of sheet you got when you constructed the building before, but with updated costs and time consumption as well as the soon to be better bonuses and benefits. Once again, the confirmation button is the big one in the middle on the bottom of the screen.
Note that all of your buildings maximum level is the same one as the level of your headquarters.
Demolishing Facilities
If you need the space occupied by a building you don't need as much, you can destroy said building by clicking on the button in the bottom left corner of the buildings detail view. This option is not available for some buildings, most notably the ones you buy in the tutorial, as these are of very high importance.
After confirming your wish, the demolishing order will be put into the same queue as possible construction processes, which means that you can have at most one different task running already, as well as that the deconstruction takes time. After the task is finished, the space previously occupied will be free again and you gain back the resources put into the construction and upgrading of the facility.
List Of Buildings
- Promotion Center: This tent is where the magic happens: You can train your individual characters here by sacrificing other cards in their favor. By upgrading the facility itself, you will raise the experience gained.
- Coalition Headquarters: Here you can assemble your buddies and create a coalition, with which you can also take part in the battle for Top 100 coalitions in a location. Upgrading the Coalition Headquarters itself will raise the member limit of the coalition.
- Training Areas: These are eight different 2x2-squared facilities with people training on them. Depending on which one of them you built, you will raise the multiplier of the respective stat by 0.1 for your back-up characters in your squad.
