Achievements

As you progress throughout the game, you will obtain various achievements. They can be unlocked by simply playing the game, but a smart way of doing it is actually analyzing the quests you have to do to get the gems, just to make the process more efficient.

Free gems can be earned by completing missions, unlocking troops, and upgrading your village.

Achievements are separated into three tiers each, which translates to extra chances of getting gems.

Events
