# Artefacts FAQ

Artefacts FAQ

## Do artefact effects stack?

No. Artefact effects of the **same type do not stack**.

If you own multiple artefacts with the same effect:

-   A **village-scope artefact** overrides an **account-scope artefact** for that specific village
    
-   All other villages continue to use the account-scope artefact
    

Example: If you own a _Faster Troops_ artefact with village scope and another with account scope:

-   The village holding the village-scope artefact uses its own bonus
    
-   All other villages use the account-scope bonus

## Does the “Stronger Buildings” artefact affect walls?

Yes. The **Stronger Buildings** artefact also applies to walls.

## How many artefacts can I own and use?

You can **own any number of artefacts** on your account.

However, at any given time:

-   A maximum of **three artefacts can be active**
    
-   Only **one account-scope artefact** can be active
    

If multiple artefacts conflict:

-   Village-scope artefacts override account-scope artefacts of the same effect
    
-   Effects of the same type do not stack

## Do unique artefacts override small artefacts?

No.

Unique artefacts are considered **account-scope artefacts**. Even if a unique artefact has a stronger effect, a **small (village-scope) artefact still overrides it** in that village.

Example:

-   Unique Eyes (×10, account-scope)
    
-   Small Eyes (×5, village-scope)
    

Scouting operations sent from the village with Small Eyes will use the **×5 effect**, not the unique one.

## What happens if my Artefact of the Fool changes to account scope?

If the Artefact of the Fool changes its scope to account-wide and you already own another account-scope artefact:

-   **The order in which artefacts were obtained matters**
    
-   The artefact acquired **earlier** has priority
    

* * *

## I conquered a fourth artefact. Will it activate?

Yes, depending on scope and acquisition order.

Rules:

-   The **oldest account-scope artefact** can be active
    
-   The **two oldest village-scope artefacts** can be active
    
-   If no account-scope artefact exists, the **three oldest village-scope artefacts** can be active
    

After the activation delay, the correct artefacts will automatically become active.

* * *

## I already have two account-scope artefacts and one village-scope artefact. What happens if I conquer another village-scope artefact?

After activation:

-   One account-scope artefact
    
-   Two village-scope artefacts
    

will be active at the same time.

## Does an artefact travel with my hero or troops after capture?

No. Once capture conditions are met, artefacts **teleport instantly** to the appropriate treasury. They do not physically travel with troops or heroes.
