Wars Wars are an important part of Kingdoms at War. Without them how would we settle disputes ? In order to be in a war, you must be in a clan that is warring. Starting a War- To start a war you first must be an owner/admin of a clan. You must then challenge another clan. The challenged clan has 12 hours to accept the war or else the challenge is discarded. To accept the war, you must be an owner/admin of a challenged clan. It takes 3 votes for a war to be accepted (or less, depending on how many admins you have). It takes one vote to reject a war. You have 3-24 hours from when the war is challenged until the war starts. There are 3 different types of wars currently, a 8 hour, 24 hour, and a 48 hour. There is also now a Estocs Edge type of war (more information will be added about it when it is officially out). During a War- During a war the objective is to make as much plunder as you can. Also, whenever you attack someone or steal from someone in a war a certain percentage of how much you take is deducted as "war tax" and goes towards your clan's plunder. A picture of war tax is coming up. To view how much your clan has made click on clan and then view war and it will show the amount of plunder your clan has raised, a link to your clan's war roster, how many succesful attacks, steals, assassinations, and scouts your clan has done, and how long is left in the war. It will also show the same for the other clan. After a War- After a war you can view how much plunder you and your clanmates raised individually. To do this you click clan, war history, details, player stats, and boom. Plunder raised by individuals. Also, IF your clan defeats the opposing clan, your clan will be awarded with mithril (used in the Alchemist). Estoc Trials/Rancor Wars! This is war system was created to give player's a bigger reason to war..and to not do system wars. System wars could be a lot of fun, or complete and total turtle wars (nothing really happens). During these wars the object is to score big, work as a team, and be ACTIVE. During these wars, each player has a set plunder score. This plunder score is earned by players attacking others for gold (dur). NOW, assassinations and scouts will generate plunder!..but barely any. Big things you should know: - KO's KO is when you completely deplete the opposing player's troop AND spy bar. This meaning you can completely whipe out their army. Doing so you will take a chunk of their earned plunder and add it to yours. By doing this you may lose MORE of your plunder (score) when you are KO'ed so be careful. When you are KO'ed you will not be able to be put back in the game for 15 minutes. Nobody can hit you, you can't hit anybody. - Tracking Tracking is almost a key thing in these wars. When somebody is KO'ed it will be announced in both YOURS'S and your OPPONETS clan chats. This meaning, they will keep track of your KO time and KO you (most likely) as soon as you come out of KO. - Coordination You will want to assign players certain targets, or keep certain players KO'ed. Be coordinated and don't go whacking people solo. You will need to work as a CLAN to win this, don't be a hero. - Self KO When you are getting attacked by several people, self KO asap! When you self KO you will lose part of your plunder score..but they will not gain any! Plus, if they KO you, you will lose more. Rancor Wars- are based on Seasons. They act as the same way of an Estoc Trial War, but will have a specific twist (must see war detail per war). These twists can be KO time adjustments, roaster number adjustments, and perhaps dtw/dts adjustments. If you are able to win a rancor war, you will receive 2, 3, or 4 rancor (3 or 4 is only available at the end of the season). After the season is completed, players will get equipment based on their level of rancor. 1-9 = 1 equipment piece. 10-19 = 2 equipment pieces..and so on until you hit 50 which will grant you 6 equipment pieces. Estoc's Edge This is the main reward from WINNING Estoc Trials wars. This is said to be an added spell you get when you win the war. This spell, or edge..Will give you a % bonus to SELF plunder earned in ALL Epic Battles..and will increase your chances by said % to receive drops! There are 5 levels of this edge/spell. - Level 1. 25% Bronze - Level 2. 32% Bronze - Level 3. 37% Silver - Level 4. 42% Silver - Level 5. 50% Gold *******NOTE******* This spell/edge is NOT PERMANENT. This will last for 2 WEEKS. If you LEAVE or are KICKED (SEASONS ONLY: You may leave or be kicked and maintain your Estoc Edge level) from the clan you earned it in, it will decrease by ONE level, timer will not reset! If you LOSE an Estoc War, you will LOSE a level, timer will reset! If you WIN an Estoc War you will GAIN a level, and timer will reset! If you are at gold, you MUST war again within the 2 weeks for timer to reset! If your timer runs out...You will lose ALL LEVELS!!
Getting Started Now, I'm going to try and walk you through the beginning phases of Kingdoms at War. To start off, do the quest "Excavate" until it is mastered. After that, do the quest "The Hunt for Treasure" until you are out of troops. After you are out of troops, select a target from the battle list that has a "good reward" and steal from them 5 times. Then find another that has a "good reward" and steal from them 5 times. Continue this until you are you of spies. When you are out of spies, sell your guild and build a workshop on the land. Also, buy as many lands as you can at this time and build workshops, stables , or barracks on the lands. After you have done this, wait until your troops regenerate to 400 at least. When you are finished regenerating, look for a player that has 400 attack and 200 defense. Attack this person 5 times. Regenerate to 400 troops again. While you are waiting to regenerate, find a different 400 attack and 200 defense player to attack. When you are at 400 troops again, attack this person 5 times. Repeat the above step continuosly. As soon as you have enough gold to buy land, buy land. Build a workshop, barrack, or stable on it. Continue this until you have 9 lands. If you ever have to step out for real life, do the quest "The Hunt for Treasure" until you have 250 troops and then do the quest "Excavate" until you have no troops left. Once you have 9 lands you should start upgrading your buildings. Attack people or do quests for money and you should be fine! It would also be wise to get a spy building on your tenth land! Also, a good idea is to enter a referral code. You can find one in the referral code forums (see forums section for more information). Make sure that the person's code that you're adding offers a volley and lists peoples names that enter their code. Also, check their thread to make sure that there are no people complaining about not getting their volley. This guide, if followed correctly, should get you to 9 lands quickly and easily. If you want to learn more, I'd suggest looking at the "Making Money" section.
