Kingdom Inc Currencies: Production and Spending Guide

Kingdom Inc currencies include coins, requisition vouchers, military medals, quest rings, and dispelled mana. Each currency flows through dedicated production structures to fund workshop expansions, recruit expedition troops, and purchase upgrades across the kingdom tech tree.

"Welcome to Yensburg, an ancient fortress-city that was once the crown jewel of a thriving kingdom." — the official Steam store page description

On the Steam store page, developer Leaping Turtle frames the game around rebuilding the ruined fortress-city of Yensburg after the death of King Alistair. Expanding your operations requires converting manufactured goods into specialized tenders that unlock subsequent tiers of the technology tree.

What Are the Core Currencies in Kingdom Inc?

Coins are the baseline commercial currency used to purchase workshop buildings, recruit base laborers, and research early manufacturing nodes. The coin denomination follows a strict decimal scale where 100 bronze coins equal one silver coin, and 100 silver coins equal one gold coin.

You earn coins by directing crafted goods into an item shop node. Early income comes from selling raw iron ingots, which fetch one silver coin and 20 bronze coins each. As you introduce forges and workshops, complex products yield higher revenue:

• Iron armor sells for 40 silver coins and 41 bronze coins.
• Iron helms yield 2 silver coins and 91 bronze coins per crafted piece.
• Finished wizard staffs and sapphire crowns provide sustained money making to fund expensive layout expansions.

Item shops have an initial gold accumulation cap of one gold coin per cycle, meaning automated shops will stop collecting value if left uncollected without upgrades. Purchasing shop upgrades such as the cashier adds a 5% sale value bonus, while the coffers upgrade raises the coin storage limit to five gold coins.

How Do You Generate and Balance Requisition Currency?

Requisition currency is an administrative tender produced by delivering finished goods to the Requisition Office. Requisition vouchers represent municipal bonds issued by Yensburg to authorize higher-tier civil and military projects.

Unlike general shops that buy any compatible item, a Requisition Office demands a single contracted item type, such as an iron dagger, simple robe, or reinforced wooden shield. Fulfilling contracts converts items into fractional requisition points, such as 0.47 points per iron dagger or 0.37 points per shield. Players can unlock contract slots or purchase the bureaucracy upgrade to generate 0.1 passive requisition per second.

Generating requisition requires careful balance against consumption. Barracks consume two requisition vouchers for every conscript hired. If your production lines output fewer items than the barracks hire rate, requisition pools deplete quickly. As documented in the Steam community discussion, rerolling a contract into a recipe requiring buildings you cannot afford can trigger a war effort softlock by shutting down your voucher income entirely.

Military Medals and Quest Rings

Military medals are campaign awards earned by deploying outfitted conscripts to active battle fronts. Conscripts marching into the War Effort advance regional campaigns, such as reclaiming the Bergenwald Forest and the village of Yenmouth from the Southside Brigands.

Medals unlock advanced automation features across your settlement:

• Automating the recruitment process in the barracks requires 12 medals.
• Purchasing the participation trophy upgrade gives each conscript deployed into the war effort a 5% chance to award a medal immediately.
• Additional lumberjack and hunting crews in the forest require medal investments to supply wolf pelts, wild boar meat, and logs.

Quest rings are mission tokens earned by deploying trained adventurers from the Adventurers Guild to the quest board. Tasks such as Patrol the Market award 50 rings upon completion, while Exterminate the Rats and Mine Sweep Wilderness provide repeatable ring payouts. Rings pay for combat gear at the Adventure Supplies shop, including healing potions that cost two rings each.

Dispelled mana operates as an arcane resource acquired from the Decursing the Library quest or by running weapons through a disenchanter. Depositing 240 mana into an enchanter node allows you to apply combat enchantments to standard weapons before sending units back to contested territories.

Which Currency Should You Prioritize During Expansion?

Managing multiple currencies requires directing your crafting chains toward the resources matching your current development phase.

Early operations demand heavy coin generation to unlock splitters, collectors, and worker assignments. Once base smelting stabilizes, routing an independent supply line into requisition prevents resource starvation and keeps frontline campaigns moving forward.
