Build your strategy with permanent Skills
Skills are a new long-term progression system for every tycoon who has completed onboarding. Spend Skill Points to unlock and improve permanent advantages, then build a setup that suits the way you play. Diamonds can also be used where the Skills screen shows that option.
There are eight Skills to develop:
- Tax Planning reduces your effective Income Tax rate.
- Efficient Paperwork shortens the paperwork time on newly purchased businesses.
- Purchase Protection extends the protection added after a business purchase or upgrade.
- VIP Network adds more cash to your daily reward for each VIP.
- Check-in Bonus increases the base credit earned from eligible check-ins.
- Faster Upgrades trims the time required for newly started business upgrades.
- Skilled Negotiator reduces legal fees, transfer fees, and international tax on purchases.
- Customer Relations increases the Customer Income you receive when players check in at your businesses.
There is no single best build. Frequent explorers may favour Check-in Bonus and Efficient Paperwork, established empire owners may prioritise Tax Planning and Faster Upgrades, while socially active business owners can get more from VIP Network and Customer Relations. Open any Skill to see its exact per-level benefit and maximum before spending.
Race rival tycoons in Cash Rush
Cash Rush is a new competitive event built around one of the most important parts of Capital Kings: getting out, checking in, and growing your cash. During an entry window, you can join a small group of rival tycoons and race towards the event target.
- Enter: check in during the entry window to join the current Cash Rush.
- Race: every eligible check-in adds cash to your event total. The live event screen shows the target, the leader, your cash, and how far ahead or behind you are.
- Finish and claim: reach the target as quickly as possible, return after the results are final, and claim the rewards you earned.
Reaching the target unlocks a Skill Point, giving Cash Rush a direct connection to the new Skills system. Placement and any additional active rewards are shown on the final results screen.
Cash Rush tip: watch the entry timer, keep a steady check-in rhythm, and use the live ahead-or-behind indicator to judge whether you need to pick up the pace. Once you hit the target, your finish time matters.
See who rules the map with World Dominance
World Dominance turns the competitive side of Capital Kings into a global view. Explore the interactive map, switch between worldwide and individual country results, and see which players are building the strongest real-world business empires.
The World Dominance overview brings several rankings together:
- Monthly tournament leaders for the current competition.
- Empire Value to reveal the most valuable business empires.
- Most Businesses for the biggest property portfolios.
- Most VIPs for the strongest player networks.
Your own world and country positions are displayed alongside the leaders, and you can open the full leaderboards whenever you want a deeper look. It is now much easier to understand where your empire stands and which goal to chase next.
New leaderboards, profiles, and Player Tags
Version 1.0.60 also refreshes the way competitive progress is presented. Updated leaderboard and player-profile screens make business totals, Empire Value, VIPs, and tournament performance easier to compare.
Player Tags now show current tournament results directly on player profiles. If you are currently ranked in the top three worldwide or in your country, the corresponding tag highlights that position on your profile. Because the tags reflect the current tournament standings, they can change as players move through the rankings.
A new progressive Income Tax
Income Tax is progressive and targets only the richest eligible players, with a tax-free section and a sliding rate rather than a flat charge for everyone. The goal is to slow runaway leads without taking away the reward for building a successful empire. Tax Planning is the Skill that directly reduces your effective Income Tax rate; Skilled Negotiator applies to purchase-related fees instead.

Better bidding, purchases, and everyday navigation
This update also refreshes bidding and purchase screens to make offers, paperwork, and remaining time easier to follow. Additional translations and targeted fixes improve the experience across the game.
