Mechanics
Cards and packs
How card packs are earned, how rare each card is and what a completed set adds to your empire.
Cards come in packs of 5. Every card rolls its rarity on its own, and a pack always holds at least one rare or better card. Open packs and manage your collection in your account's Card center. Your collection, dust, titles and unopened packs are shared across every universe.
| Rarity | Chance per card | Golden copy | Dust for scrapping a copy | Dust to craft a copy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 71.5% | 1 in 50 | 5 | 40 |
| Rare | 22.8% | 1 in 40 | 20 | 100 |
| Epic | 4.6% | 1 in 30 | 100 | 400 |
| Legendary | 1.1% | 1 in 20 | 400 | 1,600 |
A card that can come golden does so one time in the number the table shows.
Earning packs
- The bonus streak: a pack every 7 days in a row.
- Adventures: harder adventures give a better chance at a pack.
- Expeditions: a 1% chance per expedition (Expeditions).
Set bonuses
Hold every card of a set and it adds a small account-wide bonus, each kind capped at 5% across every set (How bonuses combine). Universes with cards enabled apply their synchronized local snapshot, normally within five minutes. Trading or scrapping your last copy pauses the effect after the next successful sync; your earned title stays permanently. During an account service outage, the last valid local bonus snapshot stays applied. The game sidebar shows the bonuses currently applied in that universe.
| Set | Bonus while you hold the whole set |
|---|---|
| Fleet | +1% fleet speed |
| Defence | +1% armour |
| Industry | +1% production |
| Science | +1% research speed |
| Command | +1% commander experience |
Dust and trading
Scrap a card for dust and spend dust to craft a card you are missing; the rarity table shows both. Cards can also be traded between accounts.
Buying and opening packs
The Card center's Shop offers the same standard sealed pack through the shared account AM wallet or direct EUR payment when those methods are available. A purchase never spends a universe commander's balance and does not ask for a delivery universe. Both methods use the same published rarity and golden odds as earned packs. Direct purchases deliver packs only, without an extra spendable AM reward.
Buying leaves packs sealed in the account's Packs section. Choose Open now or Open later; opening always requires your explicit action. An owned opened pack can replay its recorded reveal without rolling or granting cards again. The game Cards link and old album bookmarks lead to the center; stale game action forms explain where to continue.
Questions
What do I do with duplicate cards?
Scrap them for dust and craft the cards you are missing.
Are golden cards stronger?
No. A golden copy looks different and is worth more dust; the set bonus is the same.
