This guide takes you from opening Vanguard Hub to running your first headless Rise of Kingdoms account. You will launch the app, create an account slot, capture the login, enable the features you want, then test everything safely in DRY-RUN before going LIVE.
1

Open Vanguard Hub

Launch Vanguard Hub from its desktop shortcut (vanguard_hub.exe). You do not need to run it as administrator unless you are about to capture a login (which needs Wireshark and Npcap).
2

Add an account

Click + Add account. Give the account a name and fill in the game server Host and Port:
  • 3101 for Android login
  • 5222 for PC login
The default host is 47.89.187.158.
3

Capture login credentials

Press Capture login on the account card, then close the game completely. Open Rise of Kingdoms and log in to that exact account on the PC client or your emulator. The Hub watches network traffic for up to 10 minutes, saves the login files, and discards the raw capture automatically.
4

Open the account and set features

Click Open on the account card. This shows the full Vanguard page for that account alone. Switch on the features you want on the Chores, Military, Dailies, and Gather cards. Every card has a switch to add it to the loop, plus Run now, a Settings ▾ fold with an Advanced fold, and a Test run — sends nothing button that plans without sending anything.
5

Keep DRY-RUN on

Make sure the DRY-RUN pill is showing (on the card or in the top bar when the account is open). In this mode Vanguard plans every action but sends nothing to the game server.
6

Start the account

Press Start. The account logs in and begins checking its timers and running its enabled features in the background.
7

Check recent activity

On the account card or inside the full Vanguard Activity Log, look at the recent activity. Verify that the planned actions match what you expect.
8

Switch to LIVE

When you are satisfied, click the DRY-RUN pill so it reads LIVE. Vanguard now sends real requests. It only ever uses items you already own and never buys anything or spends gems.
New accounts always start in DRY-RUN so you can verify behaviour before anything is sent.
