My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

OK so i have been playing for 3 days now slightly annoyed with the exagerated wait times in research and build times of low level stuff and troops but i will still give this game a good try

my question is where and when do you get a Hero and i cannot seem to attack anything or explore even though i have troops

any help or advice would be appreciate and maybe even a invite to a clan ?

you need to be at least captain rank before getting a hero. if you've only been playing 3 days you have a lot to learn (I've been at it over 3 months and doubt I know even a tenth of whats going on lol) I'd suggest reading, or at least skimming through, the encyclopedia http://mlgame.co.uk/wiki/ for a start. gl

ps. the wait time for building only gets worse, most of my upgrades now take days to acheive
