How many Transfer Passes do I need in Kingshot?

It scales with your power — commonly from 1 up to 50 passes. Lower-power and F2P accounts usually need under 10; the strongest accounts can need up to 50. You can earn one pass a week from the Alliance Shop, so strong accounts should start banking passes months before a planned move.

What are the requirements to transfer kingdoms in Kingshot?

Your transfer power must be below the target kingdom's Power Cap, you need enough Transfer Passes for your power, at least 25 days must have passed since your last transfer, you must meet the City Center level requirement, you can't be in combat, and you must leave your alliance before transferring. The target kingdom must have the same generation of heroes and the same Truegold level as your own, must still have open slots, and must hold fewer than 4 of your own characters. Your character must also not be older than the target kingdom by more than its threshold, which the publisher states only as a range: 90 days minimum, 180 days maximum.

What is the difference between Leading and Ordinary kingdoms?

A Leading kingdom takes 30 transfers per window — 20 Ordinary Invites the King sends plus 10 slots during Transfer Opens — and cannot issue Special Invites at all. An Ordinary kingdom takes 55 — 35 Ordinary Invites plus 20 slots during Transfer Opens — and holds 3 Special Invites, with 1 spent invite restored on the 1st of each month at UTC 00:00. A Special Invite is the only route in for a player over the kingdom's Power Cap.

What counts toward Transfer Power — is it the same as my Governor Power?

No. Transfer Power is your Governor Power plus the power of any troops currently in your Infirmary (injured) plus the power of any troops in your Enlistment Office (reserves). It can run higher than the Governor Power shown on your profile screen if you are carrying injured or reserve troops — check Transfer Power against a kingdom's Power Cap, not your displayed Governor Power.

🚚 Kingdom transfer

Kingdom transfer checklist

Moving kingdoms is a one-shot decision with a 25-day cooldown — get it right the first time. Work down the list; your progress saves on this device.

Last updated: October 6, 2026. Kingdom transfer rules can change with game updates.

A kingdom transfer is the biggest move an account ever makes, and most botched moves fail on logistics, not judgement: not enough passes banked, power over the target's cap, or an alliance that landed scattered across the map. This checklist walks the whole arc — eligibility → scouting → moving day → landing — so the only decision left is where, not how.

The rules in one glance:

Transfer Passes scale with power — roughly 1–50; low-power/F2P accounts commonly need under 10, whales up to 50. One pass a week is buyable in the Alliance Shop, so big accounts bank for months.
Hard gates: your power below the target's cap · 25+ days since your last move · City Center requirement met · not in combat · out of your alliance · target has open slots.
Intake per window is a hard number. An Ordinary kingdom takes 55 — 35 Ordinary Invites the King sends, plus 20 slots first come, first served during Transfer Opens. A Leading kingdom takes 30 — 20 Ordinary Invites plus 10 open slots. A 60-name alliance cannot land intact in one kingdom in one window.
Special Invites: 3 per kingdom, one spent invite restored on the 1st of each month (UTC 00:00), maximum 3, Ordinary kingdoms only. They are the only route in for anyone over the Power Cap, and they arrive as in-game mail — an Ordinary Invite sends no notification at all. Neither kind can be withdrawn once issued, and the invitee pays their own passes.
The event runs in phases: Pre-Transfer (the King sets the Power Cap; you browse), Invitational Transfer (invites go out, the cap is frozen), then Transfer Opens for anyone who qualifies.

⚠️ Exact pass counts, caps, slot numbers and phase timings shift by event and server — confirm current values in the in-game transfer screen and the official help center before you commit.

🚚 Fully packed. Safe landing, Governor — and if the whole alliance is moving, post the hive-move notice so everyone lands tight.

🗓️ Eligibility — check these weeks ahead

Transfer Passes banked for your power bracketPasses scale roughly 1–50 with power. Check your current requirement in the transfer screen and buy the weekly Alliance Shop pass every week until you're covered. An invite from the King does not pay them — the invited player covers their own transfer cost.25-day cooldown clearAt least 25 days since your last transfer. If you moved recently, the date math decides which event window you can even use.City Center requirement metTransfers gate on a minimum City Center level — confirm yours qualifies in the transfer screen.Your transfer power is under the target's capEvery kingdom shows a Power Cap during the event. Transfer Power is not the same as your displayed Governor Power — it's Governor Power plus any troops sitting in your Infirmary (injured) or Enlistment Office (reserves), so it can run higher than what's on your profile screen. Over the cap you are blocked unless an Ordinary kingdom spends one of its 3 Special Invites on you — Leading kingdoms have none to spend. Power-shedding tricks are patch-sensitive; verify before relying on one.Fewer than 4 of your characters in the target kingdomThe per-kingdom character limit counts your alts. Audit them before you plan the move.Same hero generation and Truegold level as the destinationThe target kingdom must match your own on both. This is a hard gate, not a preference.Character-age rule checked in the transfer screenYour character must not be older than the target kingdom by more than its threshold, which varies with how developed the target is — 90 days minimum, 180 days maximum. The exact figure for a given kingdom is not published, so read it in-game.

🔭 Scouting — pick the right kingdom, not just any kingdom

Browsed the kingdom list during the scouting phaseThe Pre-Transfer phase shows every open kingdom with its cap and slots. Only 20 slots in an Ordinary kingdom (10 in a Leading one) are left for the open phase, first come first served. Shortlist three, not one.Know whether your target is Leading or OrdinaryOrdinary: 55 transfers a window (35 Ordinary Invites + 20 open slots) and 3 Special Invites. Leading: 30 (20 Ordinary Invites + 10 open slots) and no Special Invites at all. This decides whether a strong account can even get in.Talked to the receiving alliance before movingConfirm they actually have roster space, what rank you'll hold, and their activity expectations. A transfer into a dead alliance is the most expensive mistake in the game.Checked the target's KvK cycle and kingdom ageYou inherit their war schedule and matchmaking bracket. A kingdom mid-losing-streak or about to hit a brutal matchup is a bad week to arrive.Landing coordinates agreedGroup move? Agree the hive location and who anchors it before anyone jumps — scattered landings take days to fix. (The hive-move template is one paste.)

📦 Moving day — the order of operations

All marches home, no combat, hospital clearYou can't transfer mid-combat. Recall gatherers and rallies, heal what's pending, and go quiet.Left your allianceMembership blocks the move. Officers: hand off your rank first so the alliance doesn't lose its R4/R5 tools mid-week.Wait for your phaseInvited players move during Invitational Transfer; everyone else when Transfer Opens. A Special Invite arrives as in-game mail, so you can confirm it — an Ordinary Invite sends no notification, so check the transfer screen instead of waiting for one. Set an alarm; the open slots go first come, first served.Execute the transfer and confirm pass countThe confirm screen shows exactly how many passes it will consume — read it before tapping. This is the point of no return.

🏡 After landing — become a local fast

Joined the new alliance and moved to the hiveTeleport to the agreed coordinates the moment you're in — stragglers outside the hive are the first targets on a new map.Rules, rally roles and timezone convention readEvery alliance runs different conventions. Read the pinned notice; ask for your rally/garrison role before the first event.Alliance help + shields back to normalRe-enable your daily loop (help, gathering, events) — and shield if the new kingdom is mid-war.Officers: post the welcome + expectations noticeIf a group moved with you, re-pin rules and expectations in the new home so the culture transfers with the tag.

This checklist is for one account. The alliance is the harder problem.

A kingdom takes 55 in a window, or 30 if it is Leading, and only three Special Invites exist. A roster of sixty does not land intact, and the part that goes wrong is deciding who is left behind while the clock runs.

→ Alliance move calculator — paste the roster and the destination: who lands, who is left behind, how many Special Invites you are short and what the passes cost.

→ Transfer almanac — the three phases as exact times in your own clock, so nobody in the alliance packs a day early.

→ Kingdom directory — all 1,993 kingdoms with the transfer group and the power caps listed against each.

→ Transfer hub — when the destination is a stranger's promise, this is where the kingdom they claim gets checked against the game's own backend before you spend a pass on it.
