City Relocation – All new players begin their Illyriad journey in the Newbie Ring, an area in central Elgea that spawns in all new players. While some players may choose to stay in this area, most will seek out land in other areas of the map to build their empires. In order to move a city, the player has the option to Exodus or Teleport to the destination of their choosing.
Exodus can be a long process, requiring a level 20 warehouse (which requires a level 15 storehouse), as well as the 5 day exodus research. Once performed, Exodus will de-level any building greater than level 12 back down to level 12. When Exodus’ing a city, that city will leave the resource plots they started with behind, and adopt the resources of the tile they are moving to (example: if your starting city has 5 wood, 5 clay, 5 iron, 5 stone, and 5 food, but the destination tile has 3 wood, 5 clay, 5 iron, 5 stone, and 7 food, when your city lands it will have the 3|5|5|5|7 resources of the destination tile).
Tenarils Teleport is a fast option, though you can only use this once for your entire account. This method will transport your city in its current form to a destination of your choice, keeping the resource plots you already have and bringing them to the new tile (example: if your starting city has 5 wood, 5 clay, 5 iron, 5 stone, and 5 food, but the destination tile has 3 wood, 5 clay, 5 iron, 5 stone, and 7 food, when your city lands it will have the 5|5|5|5|5 resources that you brought with you). Because it can be used only once, many players feel this option should be considered a last resort for relocation, and/or used in conjunction with terraforming to maximize the use.

Sovereignty allows for a player to claim the tiles surrounding their city, and build on them structures which will increase the production of resources and craftables for the city (determined by the type of building placed and the sovereignty bonus present on the claimed tile). Currently, 50 sov tiles may be claimed per city, though only 20 buildings can be present at once. Each sov tile claim will require an hourly gold upkeep (determined by the distance from the city, and the level of the sov claim); additionally, most sov buildings have their own hourly res upkeep. Due to the upkeep, sovereignty is only recommended for cities with higher levels of populations that can easier maintain these costs.

Each unit (besides siege engines) can be made into a Commander, which can be upgraded through leveling (via experience points). These upgrades can have a wide variety of effects, depending on which skills have been leveled. Detailed information on Commanders can be found : Commanders, Everything You Need to Know andCommander Upgrades
In addition to the stats of the unit itself, equipment can be used to modify unit attributes such as attack, defense, and speed. Often these modifiers are determined by the type of terrain which is being fought upon, as well as whether the unit itself is attacking or defending.

Brief Explanation of Each Diplomatic Unit:
Scouts: 
||

T2- In addition to the reporting that basic scouts do, advanced scouts also report on a city's current military activities elsewhere.
Spies:

Magic
There are currently 3 schools of magic on Illyriad: Blights, Geomancy, and Runes. There are plans to add at least 2 more schools in the future (maybe as many as 10 magic schools--but you'll be able to study only 5). This is why the research tree allows you to do research to learn 5 different magic schools even though there are only 3 schools available right now. (Note: When more than 5 magic schools are released, players will be given Prestige to allow them to unlearn some schools they currently have.)
Arcana (Mage Tower level 1 needed) allows you to learn one school of magic. Researching Principia Magica (Mage Tower level 5 needed) allows you to choose an additional school of magic to learn. Researching Incunabula (Mage Tower level 10 needed) allows you to learn a third school of magic. Though currently useless, researching Ars Magica(Mage Tower level 15 needed) allows you to learn a fourth school of magic and researching Apocrypha (Mage Tower level 20 needed) allows you to learn a fifth school of magic
Geomancy – This magic school is used to increase a single basic res production (wood, clay, iron, stone, and food) by a percentage. The base level of this is 8%, though it can be increased to 16% with one level 20 Geomancers retreat, and increased again to a total of 20% with two level 20 Geomancer Retreats (in the city casting the spell). |
Runes – This magic school is used to protect your city from invading forces. The most popular rune is the Seeking Rune: Ward of Intentions, which when set to defend against thieves, can destroy 400 invading units and is available for research when the Magic Tower has reached level 14. This can be doubled to 800 with a single level 20 Runemasters Grounding, or brought to 1000 units with two level 20 Runemasters Groundings. Additionally, the Runes school of magic offers Slaying Runes, which kill less invading units, but can include a wider variety of targets (any hostile military or diplomatic units). The strongest form of this spell is Ward of Destruction, killing 250 invading units, and is available to research when the magic tower reaches level 15. This too can be doubled to 500 killed with a single level 20 Runemasters Grounding. The third class of spells available though Runes is Fear, and is largely ignored due to its over-all uselessness against large numbers of troops. |
Rune Spells
| [School] Name | Magic Tower Level | Kills (# of Units) |
| [Slaying] Mark of Slaying | 3 | 5 |
| [Slaying] Death Rune | 7 | 20 |
| [Slaying] Killing Glyph | 11 | 75 |
| [Slaying] Ward of Destruction | 15 | 250 |
| [Seeking] Mark of Seeking | 2 | 12 |
| [Seeking] Seeking rune | 6 | 40 |
| [Seeking] Seeking Glyph | 10 | 130 |
| [Seeking] Ward of Intentions | 14 | 400 |
Blights – This school of magic is used to decrease the basic resources (either in production or storage) of enemy cities within casting range. Most commonly, players cast a negative % on food production in conjunction with a city siege. These spells are also increased by one or more Geomancers Retreats located in the city casting the spell. |
You can have only one spell from each magic school cast upon one city at a time. So you can have only one Rune spell on your city. You can have only one geomancy spell on your city, but you can cast geomancy spells from that city on many other cities as long as the target city has no other geomancy spells cast on it. You can cast a geomancy spell on any city as long as it is within the spell's range. There can be only one blight spell cast on a city at a time - you can either use one ongoing "until cancelled" blight on a city or you (or several players) can cast instant blights on the same enemy town (assuming it's in range).
