"Are you looking for a consumeable here and didn't find it? Try Empire Consumables"

—ElitistBody841

Consumables are items that can only once be used - consumed - in quests only. They summon troops to fight on your side, reinforce your troops by granting them temporary bonuses, or even help your economy by spawning resources.

The major benefit of summoning troops via consumables is that they cost 0 population -- with their only limiting factor being the cool down time between consumption of consumables, and the cost of making/acquiring them.

How to obtain Edit

You can get consumables in the following ways:

• They may be received as a reward for completing a quest.
• They can be found in Treasure chests.
• They can be bought in stores.
• They can be crafted in a Crafting Hall through Recipes.
• They can be traded with other players.

List of Consumables: Units Edit

List of Consumables: Economy Edit

Resources Edit

These are special abilities that give powerful boosts to your civilizatoin's economy. They are of special importance on maps where normally the player is unable to generate some of these resources (ex. food) to build a proper base.

Rare	800	4	800	800	800
Epic	1000	5	1000	1000	1000

Storehouse Edit

While it's usefulness depends heavily on the situation for most civilizations, the Babylonian Civilization prizes these consumables far more than any other: Due to their lack of ability to build storehouses through any other means.

The rarity determines the cooldown

Items	Name	Age	Class	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic
	Quick Storehouse	1	Class 1	120s	60s	30s	15s

Description:

Creates a storehouse at target location

Information Edit

Ever wish you could see into an enemies base and drop a Bandit Fortress? Only to lament from needing line of sight to do so? That's where this consumable comes into play. Hidden Spy allows for an area to be revealed for a limited time, either giving your age 4 siege units the vision required to hit that target out of sight up a cliff, or allowing for a multitude of other things that cannot be performed into the fog of war.

Items	Name	Age	Cooldown	Class	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic
	Hidden Spy	1	3m	Class 1	10s	13s	17s	20s

Description:

Provides true Line-of-sight in a specified area for a set time

List of Consumables: De/Buffs Edit

While these may seem a waste to the casual player, expert players know how powerful a temporary boost can be in the heat of battle.

Given the frequency of these types of consumables in Chests, they can have a significant impact in turning the tide of a battle. Use them wisely, as deciding when to use them will mean the difference between a victorious encounter or a route, due to the power of these consumables.

List of Consumables: Uniques Edit

Heroic Aid Edit

This consumable you can only get one set of 5 per civilization. They come with the civilization when created on the Project Celeste servers, after they are all used up -- they are gone for good. The only way to get more would be to delete the civilization and make it new. They were originally a bonus for buying the premium version of the civilization

	Heroic Aid	2	5m	Summons 30 Mercenaries	Premium Remuneration

These are generally used as a means of replacing a scout lost to combat. hence the very low cost per consumable.

The second class is used primarily for unit spawning or other combat related bonuses. The third class is used exclusively for adding resources directly to a player during a game. The final class is called the "Global" class, as it has affects that effect your entire account.
