Long tail of decisions

Everything you build here — economy, heroes, alliance relationships — carries into S2+. Season 1 is not a throwaway tutorial.

What is Grassland Season?

Season 1 is where every Last Z account begins. Community name: Grassland Season.

Unlike later themed seasons (Desert, Everfrost, Dinosaur, Moonlight), Grassland is the foundation period:

  • First base and early economy
  • Early hero roster
  • Join or form an alliance
  • Compete for territory on a new server

Season Tally

Season Tally scores account and alliance contributions across S1 and drives end-of-season rewards. City control is the backbone — treat it like early Glory-war economy training.

  • Cities

    Main tally source: capture and hold map cities.

  • Tier matters

    Higher-tier cities usually contribute more to alliance tally.

  • Consistency > spike

    Steady control beats one last-day push.

Alliance tip

A few coordinated players holding cities all season out-earn a larger group that only pushes in the final days.

City capture & Capital

  • Capture

    Rally troops · defeat NPC or rival holders.

  • Hold

    Defense = offense for tally — holding keeps value flowing.

  • Capital

    Biggest reward pool · heaviest contest.
    Secure a perimeter of cities before a Capital push.

Alliance strategy (S1)

  1. Join early, join active — city coordination in week 1 beats recruiting in week 3.
  2. Call rally targets — solo rallies on contested cities fail; group holds longer.
  3. Protect weaker members — early accounts are fragile; shielding them keeps more tally contributors online.

Economy first

Have a working resource base before mass city commits — see also Other Guides for base/research tips.

Preparing for Season 2 migration

When S1 ends, a migration window often opens for S2. Optional, but competitive players usually migrate for fresher matchups and new mechanics.

Before the window:

  • Spend resources into buildings, troops, research you want permanent
  • Align with alliance: migrate together when possible
  • Know your tier / passes in advance (plan migration slots early)

Don't scatter

Coordinated alliance migrations outperform friends splitting across random states.
