Diamond is a resource primarily found in jagged peaks and tundras used to create ranged and frost based structures and units, such as the First of Oak and ice traps.

Obtaining

Gathering

A vein of diamond in a tundra.

Only once the gather diamond improvement has been built at an improvement hub, diamond can be gathered by using a gather allay near a diamond vein, which can generate in tundras and jagged peaks. When gathering, the gather allay will fill up the player's diamond storage until either the storage capacity is reached or all diamond within the gather allay's gathering radius has been obtained.

25 diamond is automatically granted to players when they build the gather diamond improvement.

Players passively receive 15 diamond every minute if they have built the large gather diamond improvement at an improvement hub.

In a Custom Game, the amount of diamond veins that generate throughout the world can be increased or decreased during world generation. Once the world has been created this setting cannot be changed again.

Chests

Once the gather diamond improvement has been built, diamond has a chance to be obtained by opening village chests in tundra villages and allay chests.

Capacity

The amount of diamond that can be stored at one time is limited. The maximum diamond capacity is increased every time a gather diamond improvement is built.

Usage

Diamond is used in the spawning of some units and the building of some structures.
