Relics are special precious items created by ancestors that possess almost magical effects and can help you increase powers of your nation!
To obtain Relics, you must first dig out the Relic Shards from the Excavation Site which is located right outside your Castle Walls, and then restore the shards into full Relics at the Relic Museum.
Relics only give extra powers to your nation when equipped to the Lord at the Lord main screen (you can go there by tapping Lord icon at the top left corner of your game screen).
It is possible to equip up to 3 sets of 6 relics in each and change them depending on the situation.
The higher are a Relic's Level and Grade, the more powerful effects it provides. Relic effects are expressed in a percentage concept and the values will be summed up in case the same effect is applied twice or more times.
All Shards and Relics must me managed, upgraded and merged via the Relic Museum menu.
There are two ways to get Relics of higher Grades:
1. Merge lower-grade shards into higher-grade shards, then restore a relic from these high grade shards.
2. Restore a low-grade relic, then level it up and upgrade using other restored relics as materials.
There are common relics that can be found by any nation (as well as by civilizations that have not yet chosen the path for development) and national relics only available after you select a specific nation.
Below are the tables of all Relics within Civilization War and their effect values at the highest level obtainable.
