Vanguard Hub: run multiple Rise of Kingdoms accounts headlessly

Vanguard Hub is a separate Windows app that runs many Rise of Kingdoms accounts at the same time without opening the game or an emulator. Every account logs straight into the game server on its own, maintains separate settings and memory, and appears as a card on the All accounts page so you can see status, resources, marches, action points, shield timers, and recent activity at a glance.

What each account card shows

Each account on the All accounts page displays:

Info	What it means
Status	Whether the account is idle, running, disconnected, or needs attention
Resources	Current food, wood, stone, gold, and gems
Marches	How many marches are out and what they are doing
AP	Action points remaining
Shield	Time left on your city shield
Credit	The account’s credit score, as the game server reports it
Enabled features	Which Vanguard functions are switched on for this account
Recent activity	The last few actions Vanguard performed

The card also shows quick-action buttons:

Button	When it appears	What it does
Start	When not running or not yet attached	Logs in and begins the loop
Log in only	When not running or not yet attached	Logs in but does not start the loop (good for testing)
Stop	While running	Stops the account cleanly, then logs it out
Rush now	While running and attached	Triggers rally rush immediately on the captain’s newest rally
Capture login	When not running	Starts the network watcher to record login files
Open	Always	Opens the full single-account Vanguard page for this account in a frame
Edit	Always	Opens the Edit dialog to change server, login files, client profile, and more
Remove	Always	Moves the account folder to `accounts/_removed` after confirmation

Click the account name on the card to open it, or click the pencil icon to rename it. Click the DRY-RUN / LIVE pill to toggle between dry-run (plans only, sends nothing) and live (sends real requests).

Rally rush

The Rally rush card on the Military page works on hub accounts and in classic Vanguard. When a captain you name opens a rally, Vanguard goes through the cities you tick, teleports next to the captain if the march would be late (optional, never gems), and joins with as many troops as the rally has room for. Hub accounts switch cities without reloading a game, so the hub can send more cities into one rally. Press Rush now on the card or on the account’s hub card to start on the captain’s newest rally without waiting for the next check. See Rally rush.

How accounts are stored

Every account lives in its own folder under:

%USERPROFILE%\vanguard-hub\accounts\<id>\

If you want to change the base directory, set the environment variable VANGUARD_HUB_DIR before launching the Hub. If you used the Hub before version 1.0.1, your accounts were in %USERPROFILE%\rokbot-hub. The Hub moves them to vanguard-hub the first time you open the new version, logins included, so there is nothing to do.

License

Your license key covers the whole hub and every account uses it. The sidebar shows License where you can enter or renew a key. See License. The top bar shows NOT LICENSED — click to enter a key when no valid license is set. Your license allows a limited number of clients to run at the same time. If you move the key to another copy of Vanguard Hub, every account on the old copy is logged out automatically.

Add account

Create a new account slot and point it at your game server.
