📢 Solid Tactics – The New Research Arrives in Rise of Castles
In update 25.805.1, Rise of Castles introduced a new technology research: Solid Tactics, available starting from Season X1. While this addition promises to enhance army performance in different battlefields, it has also sparked debate among players due to its high War Badge cost and limited impact compared to other researches.

⚔️ Is it worth the investment? A critical view
Despite being a new and flashy research, Solid Tactics does not deliver an impact proportional to its cost.
Pros:
Provides reduced training cost and faster training speed for T10 troops.
Improves general stats like Might, Resistance, and HP for all troops.
Cons:
Combat bonuses are relatively low for such a high investment.
The 3 million War Badge requirement is overwhelming for most players.
Compared to other researches, it does not bring game-changing advantages in the short term.
🎯 Comparison with other researches
Dragon Blood Blessing: if not yet completed, this should be the absolute priority, as it brings stronger benefits to battles.
Royal Tech: currently more impactful, since it not only offers training cost and time reduction but also increases troop quantity — a decisive factor for the next Eden.
📝 Conclusion
Solid Tactics is an interesting addition and brings some useful upgrades, especially for T10 training. However, due to its very high cost and limited combat impact, it should not be the priority for most players.
👉 If you have not yet finished researches like Dragon Blood Blessing or Royal Tech, focus on them first.👉 Endgame players with spare resources may find Solid Tactics a strategic extra, but not a revolutionary one.
This tech is simply not worth the investment. A number of the benefits can be achieved with other techs and castle skins or rewards. I am not sure why the developers thought it would be useful.
