Robbers regularly establish hideouts close to your villages. ### Robber hideouts vs. robber camps Robber Hideouts and Robber Camps are two different features: - Robber **Hideouts** are personal and only visible to you - Robber **Camps** are shared challenges for the entire kingdom This article covers Robber **Hideouts** only. ### Visibility and behavior Robber Hideouts are only visible to you and cannot be seen by other players. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68308cfeb9e87dee6f158b79/20260212085105_2845.png) Only Governors and Dukes receive Robber Hideouts. Kings and Vice Kings do not get any Robber Hideouts. **Note:** In contrast to Robber Hideouts, there are also [Robber Camps](https://support.kingdoms.com/articles/21). Robber Camps are shared challenges for your kingdom and require multiple players to defeat. ### Hideout location Robber Hideouts appear near the capital village. - If the capital is changed before hideouts appear, they will spawn near the new capital. - After relocating your capital, existing hideouts are removed and will later reappear near the new village position. - If a capital village is destroyed, hideouts may appear once at the old location. - After they are defeated, future hideouts will appear near the new capital. ### Clearing a hideout To fully clear a Robber Hideout, you must: - Defeat all defending troops - Plunder all available resources Robber Hideouts contain resources and stolen goods, which you receive when clearing them. If the robbers have already prepared an attack on your village, the attack is canceled only after the hideout has been fully cleared by defeating all troops and plundering all resources. Once all troops are defeated and all resources are collected, the hideout disappears. A new one will appear after some time. If a hideout is ignored for too long, the robbers will become aggressive and send an attack on your village. You can siege Robber Hideouts to reduce troop losses. ### Scaling and progression At the start of a game world, Robber Hideouts appear more frequently, but are relatively small in size. As the game world progresses, their size increases while their appearance becomes less frequent. Their strength and rewards also scale with your account progress, including: - Your offensive strength - Your resource production - Your population size ### Additional information - The Horn of Natars attack bonus works against Robber Hideouts - Robber Hideouts spawn at half the normal rate for Dukes ### Spawn timing During the first 12 Robber Hideouts, spawn times are shorter and depend on how many hideouts have already appeared. The spawn timer starts once the previous Robber Hideout has been fully cleared and disappeared. The first 4 hideouts always have the same spawn time. Starting with hideout 5, the time until the next hideout appears becomes longer. After the first 12 hideouts, spawn times continue to increase as the game progresses.
