Converting is a style of play by which you explore to a certain point and ''convert'' into attacker. The point is to convert when your economy peaks, to be able to convert as quickly as possible into a very powerful dominion.

Converting can be done with many races.

* [[Human]]/[[Nomad]]
 
* [[Icekin]]
 
* [[Kobold]]
 
* [[Nox]]
 
* [[Troll]]
 
* [[Wood Elf]]

This varies depending on race on method. Some converters choose to [[tech]] while some go for Diamond Mines, Ore Mines or Lumberyards and very high [[Castle Improvements]]; some do both. A common factor for many converters is that they leave protection with max Smithies and explore to nearly the size they want to convert at and at this point they re-build full Smithies. Wood Elf converters don't necessarily use Smithies at all or only max them out when leaving protection and once more when converting, never building anymore after that. Trolls, on the other hand, are likely to run max Smithies all the time since Smashers are such expensive units.
 
 
A converter normally avoids [[mod building]] and instead relies on very high efficiency and power. Not until late-round do they start building Guard Towers, Gryphon Nests and Temples since speed and swiftness are more important than efficiency at that point.

Same as [[explorers]] before converting. Same as [[attackers]] after converting. Converters are rarely seen using any noteworthy amount of specialists, save for [[Gnomes]], which are seen using their powerful and cheap specialist attack unit Suicide Squad.
