Last War: Presidential Titles Guide & Alliance Power

The Last War presidential titles system gives commanders temporary bonuses for construction, research, troop training, healing, base resource production, and combat. After an alliance wins Capitol Conquest, its leader becomes President and can appoint a Vice President and manage the other government positions.

For most players, the most useful titles are Secretary of Development before a major building upgrade, Secretary of Science before long research, Secretary of Security before troop training, and Secretary of Strategy before healing. The critical rule is simple: receive the appropriate title before starting the action. Speed bonuses do not retroactively shorten an existing timer.

How the President System Works in Last War

Capitol Conquest determines control of the government. Under the current rules documented by Last War Support, the leader of the victorious alliance becomes President.

The President receives:

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

The President can also appoint and dismiss government officials. These include the Vice President and the various Secretary positions that players commonly call Ministries or hats.

The President’s personal combat attributes remain tied to holding the position. They are not permanent account upgrades and should not be confused with a server-wide Hero Attack, Defense, or HP bonus.

What Happens After Capitol Conquest?

Once the new President takes office, players can access the government interface and apply for eligible Ministry positions. The President and Vice President oversee appointments and can also make manual assignments when needed.

Government titles can be shared with commanders outside the alliance that won the Capitol. Well-managed warzones therefore often operate Ministry queues for the wider server rather than reserving every progression bonus for one alliance.

Vice President: The Former First Lady

The position historically known as First Lady is now called Vice President. Older screenshots, guides, and player conversations may still use First Lady or the abbreviation FL.

The Vice President can appoint and dismiss other officials but cannot replace the President. The position also carries three development bonuses.

Vice President Bonus	Normal	With Conqueror
Construction Speed	+20%	+25%
Research Speed	+20%	+25%
Training Speed	+10%	+12.5%

The Vice President is especially useful when a player is ready to start construction, research, and training during the same appointment. For a single major building or technology, however, the specialized Development or Science title normally provides the stronger bonus.

All Last War Government Titles and Bonuses

Title	Normal Bonus	Best Use
President	Hero HP +5%, Hero Attack +5%, Hero Defense +5%	Government administration and President combat attributes
Vice President	Construction +20%, Research +20%, Training +10%	Starting several types of development at once
Secretary of Development	Construction +50%, Research +25%	Major building and Headquarters upgrades
Secretary of Science	Research +50%, Construction +25%	Long Tech Center research
Secretary of Strategy	Hospital Capacity +20%, Healing Speed +20%	Recovering after heavy combat
Secretary of Security	Training Cap +20%, Training Speed +20%	Large troop-training or promotion batches
Secretary of Interior	Food +100%, Iron +100%, Coin Production +100%	Collecting base resource production
Military Commander	March Speed +5%, Enemy Unit Casualty Rate +5%	Conqueror-period PvP
Administrative Commander	Construction +60%, Research +60%	Conqueror-period development

Military Commander and Administrative Commander are special positions tied to Conqueror status rather than the standard set of queueable Ministry titles.

What Is the Conqueror Bonus?

Conqueror is separate from simply winning your own Capitol. A warzone receives the Conqueror buff when it wins Warzone Duel as the attacking side.

Current official support lists the Conqueror period as 6.5 days. During that period, normal government bonuses are strengthened and two additional positions become available: Military Commander and Administrative Commander.

Position	Normal	Conqueror Bonus
Vice President	Construction +20%, Research +20%, Training +10%	Construction +25%, Research +25%, Training +12.5%
Secretary of Development	Construction +50%, Research +25%	Construction +60%, Research +30%
Secretary of Science	Research +50%, Construction +25%	Research +60%, Construction +30%
Secretary of Strategy	Hospital Capacity +20%, Healing +20%	Hospital Capacity +25%, Healing +25%
Secretary of Security	Training Cap +20%, Training +20%	Training Cap +25%, Training +25%
Secretary of Interior	Food, Iron, Coin +100%	Food, Iron, Coin +150%

Secretary of Development

Secretary of Development is the standard title to request before starting a major building upgrade.

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

During Conqueror status, these increase to +60% Construction Speed and +30% Research Speed.

The title is particularly valuable for Headquarters upgrades and expensive prerequisite buildings. Before entering the queue, confirm every requirement with the Last War Headquarters upgrade guide, gather the required resources, and leave a builder available.

Wait until Secretary of Development is actually active before pressing the upgrade button. If construction is already running, receiving the title afterward does not recalculate the existing timer.

Secretary of Science

Secretary of Science reverses the Development title’s priorities:

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

During Conqueror status, these become +60% Research Speed and +30% Construction Speed.

Use Science when starting a long or expensive technology project. Select the technology and complete its prerequisites before your appointment so you do not waste your active title deciding what to research.

The Last War Tech Center guide can help you plan the next project before joining the queue.

Secretary of Security

Secretary of Security is the troop-training title:

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

With Conqueror, both values increase to +25%.

Security is useful when:

• Starting a large batch of your highest troop tier.
• Promoting a large number of lower-level troops.
• Replacing troops after major PvP losses.
• Timing troop development with an event that currently rewards training.

Like construction and research bonuses, the Training Speed effect should be active when you begin the training queue. Use the Last War Barracks guide to prepare troop development before your turn.

Secretary of Strategy

Secretary of Strategy is designed for wounded-unit recovery:

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

During Conqueror status, both increase to +25%.

Request Strategy before starting a large healing batch after Capitol battles, Enemy Buster, seasonal warfare, or other heavy PvP activity.

The temporary Hospital Capacity increase is also useful while the title is active, but it should not replace permanent Hospital development. See the Last War Hospital guide for long-term capacity and healing upgrades.

Once healing begins, combine the reduced timer with alliance assistance through the Alliance Support Hub.

Secretary of Interior

Secretary of Interior works differently from the speed titles. It increases base resource production:

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

With Conqueror, each listed bonus increases to +150%.

The best method is to allow your base production buildings to accumulate resources, obtain the Interior title, and then collect while the title is active.

The +100% figure is based on base production. It does not necessarily mean the number you normally collect will exactly double because your normal total may already contain other production bonuses.

Secretary of Interior does not increase Oil production. It also should not be treated as a bonus to world-map gathering, Resource Chests, event rewards, mail, packs, or resources plundered from other commanders.

For permanent resource development, see the:

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

Military Commander

Military Commander is available during Conqueror status and provides:

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

Unlike the progression Ministries, this is a combat title. It should go to a commander actively participating in important PvP rather than someone who will remain idle during the assignment.

Useful situations include:

• Major cross-warzone attacks.
• Capitol and city fighting.
• Time-sensitive rallies and reinforcements.
• Fights where increasing enemy permanent casualties has strategic value.

Enemy Unit Casualty Rate is not the same as Hero Attack. The title changes the casualty effect of combat rather than simply adding another percentage to your squad’s offensive stat.

Administrative Commander

Administrative Commander is the development-focused Conqueror position:

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

Because both bonuses are strong at the same time, Administrative Commander is especially efficient when you are ready to start one major construction and one major research project during the same appointment.

Good uses include:

• A high-level Headquarters upgrade.
• Long Special Forces or late-game research.
• Age of Oil progression.
• High-level military-center construction.
• Other expensive building-and-research combinations.

Do not request the title before resources and prerequisites are ready. Starting one minor project wastes much of its advantage.

How Government Speed Bonuses Affect Timers

A +50% speed bonus does not mean a timer becomes 50% shorter.

For a simplified example, suppose a building takes 100 minutes at a base construction rate of 1 unit per minute. Adding +50% Construction Speed increases that rate to 1.5 units per minute:

100 ÷ 1.5 = approximately 66.7 minutes

The +50% speed increase therefore reduces this simplified timer by roughly 33.3%, not 50%.

Your actual result also depends on existing bonuses from systems such as:

• VIP
• Survivors
• Research
• Alliance technology
• Decorations
• Base skins
• Other temporary or permanent speed bonuses

The more speed you already have, the smaller the visible percentage reduction produced by adding another fixed speed bonus.

How to Apply for a Ministry Title

The current game interface lets eligible commanders apply and enter a title queue.

A common route is:

1. Tap your profile avatar.
2. Tap your server number to open the server or Capitol information.
3. Open the government or official-position screen.
4. Select the Ministry you want.
5. Tap Apply.
6. Wait for approval and your place in the automatic appointment queue when applicable.

You can also access the Officials or Title Assignment interface through the Capitol management screen.

Ministry Application Rules

Documented queue rules include:

• Your Headquarters must be level 16 or higher.
• You can hold only one position at a time.
• You cannot apply for another Ministry while already holding a position.
• There is a 30-minute cooldown between applications.
• An individual position can have a limited application list.
• Applications can expire if they remain pending too long.
• The President or Vice President may need to approve players into the automatic appointment list.
• Military Commander and Administrative Commander are not standard public queue positions.

Queue intervals and interface details have changed in previous updates, so use the timers displayed on your current government screen rather than planning around an old screenshot or fixed appointment duration.

Prepare Before Your Ministry Turn

The most common way to waste a title is receiving it before you are actually ready to start anything.

Before a Construction Title

• Confirm every prerequisite building.
• Prepare the required Food, Iron, Coins, Oil, or other resources.
• Keep a builder available.
• Open the building you intend to upgrade.
• Wait for the title to activate before starting.

Before a Research Title

• Select the exact technology.
• Finish prerequisite research.
• Prepare resources and any required Valor Badges.
• Keep the research queue available.
• Start only after Science or another relevant title is active.

Before Security

• Prepare an available Barracks queue.
• Choose the troop tier or promotion batch in advance.
• Have sufficient resources ready.
• Confirm the title before starting the queue.

Before Strategy

• Prepare wounded units for healing.
• Wait until Strategy is active.
• Begin the healing batch.
• Use alliance assistance and speedups afterward as needed.

Best Presidential Title for Each Goal

Goal	Best Title	Why
Major Headquarters or building upgrade	Secretary of Development	Highest standard Construction Speed bonus
Long research project	Secretary of Science	Highest standard Research Speed bonus
Construction and research together	Administrative Commander	+60% to both during Conqueror
Construction, research, and training together	Vice President	Improves all three categories
Large troop batch	Secretary of Security	Improves both training cap and speed
Large healing batch	Secretary of Strategy	Improves Hospital Capacity and healing
Collect base Food, Iron, and Coins	Secretary of Interior	Increases base resource production
Important PvP battle	Military Commander	March Speed and Enemy Unit Casualty Rate during Conqueror

Common Last War Ministry Mistakes

• Starting too early: Construction, research, training, and healing speed bonuses do not retroactively shorten actions already underway.
• Thinking +50% speed means half the timer: Speed increase and percentage timer reduction are not the same calculation.
• Joining the queue without resources: Your title can become active while you are still trying to afford the upgrade.
• Using Development for a research-only goal: Science provides the stronger normal research bonus.
• Opening Resource Chests with Interior: Inventory rewards are not base production.
• Expecting Interior to boost Oil: Official support specifically limits it to Food, Iron, and Coins.
• Confusing Capitol victory with Conqueror: Conqueror is tied to winning Warzone Duel as the attacker.
• Expecting Conqueror bonuses permanently: They expire after the temporary 6.5-day period.
• Applying for combat Commander positions: Military and Administrative Commander are special Conqueror assignments rather than normal Ministry queue requests.

How Presidents and Alliances Should Manage Titles

A well-run title system improves far more than the account of one player. Construction, research, training, and healing bonuses can accelerate development across the warzone before future cross-server competition.

Useful government practices include:

• Keeping normal Ministry queues open to eligible commanders.
• Approving automatic appointments regularly.
• Communicating any special rules in world chat or the server’s community channels.
• Prioritizing active combat players for Military Commander.
• Using Administrative Commander on players ready for major development milestones.
• Avoiding unnecessary manual assignments that disrupt a fair queue.

If the warzone currently has no President, official Last War support states that commanders cannot apply for an official position. Keeping an active President and Vice President therefore matters for the whole government’s availability.

Presidential Titles and Account Progression

Ministry bonuses become increasingly valuable as construction, research, training, and healing timers grow. However, a title only helps if you already have the resources and prerequisites needed to begin the action.

Players comparing alternative progression routes can also browse Last War accounts for sale through Heaven Guardian. If government access matters to you, review the individual account’s warzone, Headquarters level, research progress, and alliance situation rather than assuming a particular Ministry or President position is included.

FAQs

How do you become President in Last War?

The current official Capitol rules state that the alliance winning Capitol Conquest takes control and the victorious alliance’s leader becomes President. The President can then appoint the Vice President and other government officials.

Which Last War title is best for a Headquarters upgrade?

Secretary of Development is the best standard title because it provides +50% Construction Speed. During Conqueror status, Administrative Commander offers +60% Construction and +60% Research Speed and can be even better if available.

Do Ministry buffs work on construction or research already in progress?

No. Speed bonuses should be active when you start the construction, research, training, or healing action. Once the action starts with its reduced timer, losing the title afterward does not normally restore the longer original duration.

What does Secretary of Interior increase?

Secretary of Interior adds +100% of base production for Food, Iron, and Coins under normal conditions, or +150% during Conqueror. It does not increase Oil production and should not be confused with a world-map gathering bonus.

How long does the Conqueror bonus last in Last War?

Current official support lists Conqueror status as lasting 6.5 days after a warzone wins Warzone Duel as the attacking side. During that period, government bonuses are strengthened and the Conqueror-specific Commander positions become available.

What Headquarters level do you need to apply for a Ministry?

Documented Ministry rules require Headquarters level 16 or higher. You can hold only one official position at a time, and the live government interface should be used to check the current queue and application timer.

Conclusion

Last War presidential titles are temporary but extremely useful when timed correctly. Development is the standard choice for construction, Science for research, Security for troop training, Strategy for healing, and Interior for base resource production. Conqueror strengthens these bonuses and temporarily adds Military Commander and Administrative Commander.

The most important strategy is preparation: have every prerequisite and resource ready before your title activates, then start the relevant action while the bonus is in effect. For more Capitol, alliance, progression, and combat advice, browse the Heaven Guardian Last War Survival guides.
