    To upgrade a Basic Construction building in The King is Watching, first make sure the Basic Construction building is placed on the map as one of your active buildings. That’s important, as only active tiles can be upgraded.

    Once placed, keep your eyes on the building tile. In the top-right corner, you’ll eventually notice a small yellow arrow slowly appear. This arrow doesn’t show up immediately; you need to be looking directly at the tile for a short while. The game requires your attention on the structure for the arrow to fully form.

    After the arrow appears, its color will tell you whether or not you’re ready to upgrade. If the arrow is grey, that means you’re missing the required materials. If it turns yellow, you’ve got everything you need to proceed.

    When the arrow is yellow, click on it. You’ll then see a list of upgrade options. These are different paths the Basic Construction can take, and each one will transform it into a more specialized building. It’s worth checking these options early so you can collect the necessary materials in advance and avoid delays.

    Choosing the Right Upgrade Path

    Here’s a breakdown of the main upgrade paths:

    • Resource Buildings: These upgrades help you gather or produce essential resources such as wood, stone, or food. They are important for long-term growth and keeping your economy running.
    • Military Buildings: These structures focus on training troops or enhancing your kingdom’s defenses. They’re useful if you’re planning to expand or protect your territory.
    • Infrastructure Buildings: These upgrades support overall kingdom management by improving efficiency, storage, or construction speed. They’re ideal for optimizing how your kingdom operates.

    Because each upgrade serves a different function, it’s important to plan in advance. Think about what your kingdom needs the most, whether that’s more materials, stronger armies, or better production, and gather the specific materials needed for that path before the upgrade is ready.

    Choosing the right upgrade path early can make a big difference in how quickly and effectively your kingdom grows.
