Nuclear power plant
How to unlock the nuclear power plant in Build and Conquer: the city level 4 requirement, holding the capture point, and why nuclear power carries a.
The nuclear power plant unlocks through a quest: reach city level 4, then capture and hold the nuclear power plant point on the map. Expect a long hold — bring troops you can spare and pick a server that is not at war.
The nuclear power plant is the big late-game power unlock in Build and Conquer, and it is not bought with money. It is captured. The quest appears once your country is developed enough, and it sends your army to an objective on the shared map.
Unlock requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| City level | Reach level 4 — community guides quote 10,000–20,000 population for this band |
| Objective | Find and hold the nuclear power plant capture point |
| Hold time | Reported as 60 minutes by community testing — a standing occupation, not a raid |
How to actually complete it
- Deploy troops to the capture point from your military base, the same way you deploy to any mainland objective.
- Hold the ground. While your units stand on the point the timer runs; if they are pushed off, it stops.
- Pick your server. Stationary troops are free kills, so doing this on a busy server invites a fight you did not want.
- Bring enough troops to survive a raid and keep interceptors home — deploying turns your base PvP on.
Why you want it
A fully developed country draws far more power than coal plants can reasonably supply. Nuclear generation is what lets you keep the whole city running — including the top-tier commercial towers whose upgrades pass a million — without painting the map with coal plants.
