Frequently Asked Questions
Gameplay
How do I earn money?
Your plots earn income automatically every 15 seconds. The more plots you own and the more you develop them, the higher your income. You also earn while you're away (up to 2 hours, at half rate).
Can I lose everything?
No. If you go bankrupt, you lose half your plots — but you never lose your entire territory. Denkfield is designed so setbacks are temporary and recoverable.
How do I attack?
First, tap one of your plots that has soldiers. Then tap an adjacent enemy plot. You'll see the soldier matchup before the attack happens. Combat is deterministic — the side with more soldiers wins, no luck involved.
What are the leagues?
There are eight leagues: Neighbourhood, Village, Town, City, State, Country, Continent, and Planet. Once you own enough territory and have paid off your debt, you can ascend to the next league with a bigger map and tougher competition.
What happens when I ascend?
You start fresh on a new, larger map with new debt — but you keep a permanent +10% income bonus for each league you've completed. Your old territory becomes a single plot in the next league's map.
What does developing a plot do?
Developing a plot increases its income. Each plot can be developed twice. It costs 15 Dk per level.
Do soldiers cost anything?
Yes. Recruiting costs 8 Dk per soldier, and soldiers have ongoing maintenance costs deducted from your income each tick. The upkeep increases in higher leagues, so building a large army is a real tradeoff.
Account & Data
Do I need an account to play?
No. You can play as a guest right away. However, guest progress is tied to your device and cannot be recovered if you uninstall the app. Creating an account saves your progress to the cloud and lets you ascend past the first league.
Will I lose my progress if I create an account?
No. When you upgrade from guest to a full account, your existing progress carries over — same territory, same cash, same league.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all saved data. You can also email
support@denkfield.com. See our
deletion page for full details.
What data do you collect?
Email, display name, and game progress for account holders. Anonymous usage analytics to understand how players interact with the game. Advertising identifiers for ad serving. We never sell your data. See our full
privacy policy.
Technical
Why is the game slow to load sometimes?
Your game save is stored in the cloud and loaded when you open the app. On slower connections this can take a few seconds. Once loaded, the game runs entirely on your device.
Does the game use a lot of data or battery?
No. Denkfield is lightweight. It syncs your save every 60 seconds and when you close the app — that's minimal data usage. The game pauses when in the background, so battery drain is negligible.
