Last War: Presidential Titles Guide & Alliance Power

The President and government title system in Last War Survival gives commanders temporary bonuses for construction, research, training, healing, resource production, and combat. After an alliance wins Capitol Conquest, it gains the right to appoint the President, who can then select a Vice President and manage Ministry assignments. This guide explains every title, how to request one, and how to use its bonus efficiently.

How the Presidency Works in Last War Survival

Alliances compete for control of the Capitol during Capitol Conquest. The winning alliance gains the right to appoint a President from among its members.

Older versions and guides may state that the winning alliance leader automatically becomes President. However, the current system allows the victorious alliance to choose its representative, although the alliance leader often fills the position.

The President receives the following personal bonuses:

• Hero HP: +5%
• Hero Attack: +5%
• Hero Defense: +5%

The President also manages the government system. Their responsibilities include:

• Appointing the Vice President.
• Assigning Ministry titles to eligible commanders.
• Approving players for the automatic appointment queue.
• Managing temporary Commander positions during the Conqueror Bonus.
• Coordinating fair access to government bonuses across the warzone.

The President’s combat bonuses apply while the commander holds the position. They should not be confused with permanent account upgrades.

Vice President, Formerly First Lady

The role previously known as First Lady is now generally called Vice President. Some older warzones, screenshots, and community discussions may still use the abbreviations FL or First Lady.

The Vice President assists with government administration and can assign Ministry positions alongside the President. The Vice President can also appoint a successor to the same role but cannot appoint a new President.

The normal Vice President bonuses are:

• Construction Speed: +20%
• Research Speed: +20%
• Training Speed: +10%

During an eligible Conqueror Bonus period, these values may increase to:

• Construction Speed: +25%
• Research Speed: +25%
• Training Speed: +12.5%

The Vice President title is most useful when the holder is prepared to begin a major building upgrade, start expensive research, and queue a large troop-training batch during the same appointment.

Government Titles and Bonuses

The table below shows the standard government positions and their normal bonuses:

Title	Normal Bonus	Best Use
Vice President	Construction Speed +20%, Research Speed +20%, Training Speed +10%	Starting construction, research, and training during one appointment
Secretary of Development	Construction Speed +50%, Research Speed +25%	Major Headquarters and building upgrades
Secretary of Science	Research Speed +50%, Construction Speed +25%	Long and expensive research projects
Secretary of Strategy	Hospital Capacity +20%, Unit Healing Speed +20%	Healing troops after large battles
Secretary of Security	Unit Training Cap +20%, Training Speed +20%	Starting large troop-training batches
Secretary of Interior	Food Output +100%, Iron Output +100%, Coin Production +100%	Collecting production from base resource buildings
Military Commander	March Speed +5%, Enemy Unit Casualty Rate +5%	Combat during the Conqueror Bonus period
Administrative Commander	Construction Speed +60%, Research Speed +60%	Starting major development projects during the Conqueror Bonus period

Important Note: Military Commander and Administrative Commander are not always available. They are generally unlocked temporarily when the warzone earns the Conqueror Bonus after winning the relevant cross-warzone battle as the attacker.

Secretary of Development

The Secretary of Development is the primary construction title. Its normal bonuses are:

• Construction Speed: +50%
• Research Speed: +25%

During the Conqueror Bonus period, the values may increase to:

• Construction Speed: +60%
• Research Speed: +30%

This title is most valuable before starting a long Headquarters or prerequisite-building upgrade. Prepare the resources, builders, and required building levels before your appointment begins.

For example, open the Last War Headquarters upgrade guide, confirm every prerequisite, and gather the required resources before entering the queue. Once the title becomes active, start the upgrade immediately.

The bonus does not reduce the remaining time of construction that was already in progress before the title was assigned.

Secretary of Science

The Secretary of Science is designed for research progression. Its normal bonuses are:

• Research Speed: +50%
• Construction Speed: +25%

During the Conqueror Bonus period, these may increase to:

• Research Speed: +60%
• Construction Speed: +30%

Use this title before beginning expensive research in the Tech Center. It is particularly valuable for long military, development, Special Forces, or late-game technology projects.

Review the Last War Tech Center guide and select your research before your appointment. Do not spend the limited title window deciding which technology to begin.

Secretary of Strategy

The Secretary of Strategy supports troop recovery after combat. Its normal bonuses are:

• Hospital Capacity: +20%
• Unit Healing Speed: +20%

During the Conqueror Bonus period, these may increase to:

• Hospital Capacity: +25%
• Unit Healing Speed: +25%

Request this title before starting a large healing batch after Capitol Conquest, Enemy Buster, Desert Storm, seasonal warfare, or another high-casualty activity.

The temporary Hospital Capacity increase can help accommodate more wounded troops while the title remains active. However, capacity may return to its normal value after the title ends, so monitor your wounded units carefully.

Use the Last War Hospital guide to improve permanent capacity and healing performance instead of relying only on temporary Ministry bonuses.

Secretary of Security

The Secretary of Security improves troop training. Its normal bonuses are:

• Unit Training Cap: +20%
• Training Speed: +20%

During the Conqueror Bonus period, both bonuses may increase to +25%.

Use the title when:

• Training a large batch of your highest available unit tier.
• Preparing replacement troops after a major battle.
• Starting training during an Arms Race or Alliance Duel phase.
• Upgrading lower-tier troops when the promotion queue is large.

The speed bonus normally applies only to training started after the title is active. Existing queues are not recalculated retroactively.

Review the Last War Barracks guide before beginning a large training cycle.

Secretary of Interior

The Secretary of Interior increases production from your base resource buildings:

• Food Output: +100%
• Iron Output: +100%
• Coin Production: +100%

During the Conqueror Bonus period, each effect may increase to +150%.

This bonus applies to production associated with base resource buildings. It should not be assumed to increase:

• World-map gathering speed.
• The contents of Resource Chests.
• Event reward quantities.
• Resources received through packs or mail.
• Resources plundered from another commander.

For the best result, allow your resource buildings to accumulate production before your appointment. Collect Food, Iron, and Coins while the title is active.

Relevant building guides include:

• Last War Farmland guide
• Last War Iron Mine guide
• Last War Gold Mine guide

Military Commander

The Military Commander is a combat-focused position with the following listed bonuses:

• March Speed: +5%
• Enemy Unit Casualty Rate: +5%

This position is generally available only during the temporary Conqueror Bonus period. It is manually controlled by the President or Vice President rather than being part of the normal public Ministry queue.

The title is most relevant for:

• Cross-warzone attacks.
• Capitol or city battles.
• Time-sensitive reinforcement marches.
• Rallies against enemy commanders.
• Situations where increasing enemy casualties is strategically important.

The Enemy Unit Casualty Rate affects combat losses rather than directly increasing your squad’s Attack statistic. It should be assigned to an active combat commander who can use the bonus during its limited duration.

Administrative Commander

The Administrative Commander provides:

• Construction Speed: +60%
• Research Speed: +60%

It is one of the strongest temporary development titles in the government system. However, like Military Commander, it is normally available only during the Conqueror Bonus period and cannot be requested through the standard public queue.

The title is best used for:

• A major Headquarters upgrade.
• A long Tech Center research project.
• Age of Oil building or technology progression.
• High-level military-center upgrades.
• Starting construction and research during the same appointment.

Prepare both projects before the title is assigned. Starting only one small upgrade wastes much of the position’s potential value.

How Ministry Speed Bonuses Affect Timers

A speed increase does not reduce a timer by the same percentage shown in the title description.

For example, a +50% Construction Speed bonus does not reduce a 100-minute timer to 50 minutes. If the original construction speed is treated as 100%, adding another 50% produces a total speed of 150%.

The approximate new duration would be:

100 minutes divided by 1.5 = approximately 66.7 minutes

This is a reduction of about 33.3%, not 50%.

The exact result also depends on construction or research speed already provided by:

• VIP status.
• Survivors.
• Research.
• Decorations and skins.
• Alliance technology.
• Other temporary buffs.

Government bonuses normally stack with these systems, but the visible reduction becomes proportionally smaller when your existing speed bonuses are already high.

How to Apply for a Ministry Title

There are two common ways to reach the government appointment screen:

1. Tap your profile icon in the upper-left corner.
2. Tap the building or server-number button.
3. Open the appointment or government tab.
4. Select the Ministry position you need.
5. Submit your application and wait for approval or automatic assignment.

You may also open the Capitol, select its management options, and enter the Title Assignment or Officials page.

Application Requirements

• Your Headquarters must be level 16 or higher.
• You can hold only one government position at a time.
• You cannot apply for another position while already holding one.
• There is a 30-minute cooldown between applications.
• Each appointment list can hold a limited number of applicants.
• Applications may expire after 24 hours.
• The President or Vice President may need to approve you for automatic appointment.
• Military Commander and Administrative Commander cannot be requested through the normal queue.

Appointment durations, transition delays, and queue behavior may differ after interface changes. Follow the timer displayed in the current government screen rather than relying on an older fixed duration.

How to Prepare Before Receiving a Title

Government appointments are temporary, so all preparation should be completed before your turn begins.

For Construction

• Confirm all prerequisite buildings.
• Prepare Food, Iron, Coins, Oil, or other required resources.
• Leave one builder available.
• Open the correct building screen.
• Wait until the title appears before pressing upgrade.

For Research

• Select the technology in advance.
• Complete prerequisite research.
• Prepare the required resources and Valor Badges.
• Leave the Tech Center queue open.
• Start research only after the title is active.

For Training

• Empty or prepare the Barracks queue.
• Select the highest-priority troop type.
• Prepare enough resources.
• Wait for the Security title before confirming the batch.

For Healing

• Wait until the Strategy title is active.
• Start a large healing batch.
• Use alliance assistance through the Alliance Support Hub.
• Apply healing speedups after the reduced timer is established.

Best Title for Each Goal

Your Goal	Best Title
Start a major Headquarters upgrade	Secretary of Development
Start expensive Tech Center research	Secretary of Science
Start construction and research together	Vice President or Administrative Commander
Train a large number of troops	Secretary of Security
Heal troops after a major battle	Secretary of Strategy
Collect base resource production	Secretary of Interior
Participate in major PvP combat	Military Commander

Common Government Title Mistakes

• Starting an upgrade before receiving the title: Speed bonuses normally do not apply retroactively.
• Confusing speed increase with timer reduction: A +50% speed bonus does not cut the timer in half.
• Applying without enough resources: The temporary appointment may end before you can start the action.
• Requesting the wrong title: Development favors construction, while Science favors research.
• Opening Resource Chests with Secretary of Interior: The title supports base production, not chest contents.
• Expecting Military Commander to be permanently available: It is generally limited to the Conqueror Bonus period.
• Assuming the President’s bonuses apply to everyone: The listed Hero bonuses belong to the President while holding office.
• Missing the queue: Popular titles may have many applicants, so apply before the appointment list fills.
• Holding a development title without starting anything: Prepare every requirement before your turn.

Does an Inactive President Get Replaced Automatically?

Do not assume that an inactive President will automatically be replaced by the player with the most points, the strongest commander, or another alliance officer. That replacement rule is not consistently documented in the current government system.

Presidential changes depend on the controls available to the victorious alliance, the current government cycle, and future Capitol Conquest results. An alliance expecting to control the government should appoint an active and reliable player whenever possible.

The President should also appoint an active Vice President. This ensures that Ministry queues and assignments can continue even when the President is temporarily offline.

Managing Titles Fairly Across the Warzone

Government bonuses are most effective when the President and Vice President create an organized rotation for the full warzone rather than limiting every position to one alliance.

A fair system can include:

• Automatic queues for normal Ministry positions.
• Clear rules for extended appointments.
• Priority for major Headquarters and research milestones.
• Separate schedules for war-day combat titles.
• Public communication through world chat or a server Discord.
• Removal of inactive applicants who are blocking the queue.

Efficient title sharing helps more commanders improve their Headquarters, research, troop strength, and recovery speed. This can strengthen the entire warzone before cross-server competition.

Government Titles and Account Progression

Government titles provide their greatest value to accounts that already have enough resources, unlocked research, high-level buildings, and active queues. Receiving Secretary of Development has limited value when an account cannot afford its next upgrade.

Players who want to begin with advanced Headquarters, research, troops, and an established position in an active warzone can explore a Last War Survival account for sale through Heaven Guardian.

Available listings may include high-level Headquarters, developed technology, strong hero formations, large troop capacity, and membership in active alliances that regularly coordinate Capitol and government-title rotations. Purchases include lifetime warranty coverage and premium support for a safer purchase experience.

Review the listing carefully to confirm the account’s warzone, alliance status, Headquarters level, research progress, and eligibility for government positions.

Conclusion

The President and Ministry system can significantly accelerate progression in Last War Survival. The President manages the government, while the Vice President and Secretary roles provide temporary bonuses for construction, research, training, healing, resources, and combat.

Prepare every resource and requirement before receiving a title, then start the relevant action only after the bonus becomes active. Secretary of Development is best for construction, Secretary of Science supports research, Security improves troop training, Strategy helps healing, and Interior increases base resource output.
