These are the basics every player should at the very least know. Chapters 1. Jargons and tips 2. Links and info to plan your Kingdom 3. Plunder Caps and Allies bonus 4. If stuck... 1. Basic Jargons used in Kaw WC - World Chat (Uses speakers, where all Kaw players can make mini advertisements or chat with other players in other clans/clanless peeps.) CC – Clan Chat (You need to be in a clan to use this *duhs*) Pots – Defense items in the market store.Must stock up on these to deter attackers. Burn pots – When an attacker made you use your defense items. (Scouting does not burn pots so don't have to worry when someone scouted u a hundred times or don't bother scouting someone a hundred times hoping the pot will be burnt) LC – Land Completion (When u finished exploring all lands) BC - Build Complete (When you completed your land with the most expensive Tier 3 buildings) LB – Leader board (You can see your overall ranking in whole of Kaw) Inactives – Inactive players are players who do not play anymore, so could be used to farm *Grins*. Tiers – Is the level of the kingdom you are in. Tier 1 buildings are workshop/barracks/stable. Tier 2: Forge/War Cathedral/Beastiary. Tier 3: Sub Fact/Summ. Circle/ War Aviary. Abbreviated as T1/T2/T3. Allies bonus - Is very important! i will discuss this later. But basically it gives a fix earning for your kingdom while attacking another opponent even if he has no money! Farming – Attacking another player over and over again over a period of time. Plunder - $$ earned when u attack another kingdom. Based on the number and types of troops you have u earn plunder. *n some other factors i can't remember now. correct me if i m wrong* Allies Bonus - The fixed amount of $$ earned despite running low on troops. Or rather one of the most important aspect of the game. Max plunder - Usually a term used to say that your allies bonus have been capped or maxed. Refer to index.php on how to achieve it. Farm Stripping – Buying allies from the same person rendering him/her with no allies. Disabling the person from reaching his/her max allies bonus. Volleying - The act of hiring the same person over and over again between 3 parties. Can be seen with 2 perspective. The newbie being volleyed to get rich or the last person to keep the ally/newbie to transfer money to another player. OSF – Open Spy/Secret Farm are people of pure spy build who help new people to earn monies. Must RESPECT these people’s rules such as 5x hit per day or drop volley with them for helping them to build their next guild. Etc etc. ASF - Anti-Spam Force. Groups of people who protects OSF from abusers or farmers. Pin - attacking or assassinating someone till everytime he/she logs on his/her troops is at zero. BUMP - A jargon used in forum to Bring Up My Post. If you think this post is good, BUMP it. Stickied - When the Devs Sticky a thread. It will be permanently remain at the top of the forum. Ally bonuses (Stats) – The Att/Def/Spy bonuses you get when hiring an ally. They give only 2% of the actual numbers you see on the screen and it doesn’t helps in quests. So don’t really have to focus too much on hiring good stats ally until you LC*. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2. Links and Info to plan your Kingdom Do ask yourself what kind of build you want. Warrior/Spy? There are plenty of good guides out there such as : Rajang Guid to Troop Builds - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5659 Fangon’s Military Might - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5605 Spy build such as Advanced guide to Esponiage (version 2.1) by Blumpy - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4473 . Follow them. =) Besides that, here’s the details you may need to plan your kingdom. (Credits to MickRip) For Beginners i recommend to start with quests. Probably you will get stuck at the Icy Monster stage, i won't know. But once u r somewhere in your Tier 2, Battles are the way to earn money. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This is also another important info you might want to use to keep maximize your plunder. The reason it is important to max your plunder before exploring your next land is because if you don't you will depreciate your allies bonus values. That's why many players get stuck as the lands become more and more expensive. To max plunder you have to invest in allies. To know how much, refer to the link below this section with this table, it will help you to calculate how much money u need to invest in allies. Building: Max plunder cap/ cost (Total cost) T1 lv1: 10k / 25k T1 lv2: 22k / 200k (225k) T1 lv3: 48k / 1.5m (1.725m) T2 lv1: 30k / 1.75m T2 lv2: 66k / 3m (4.75m) T2 lv3: 144k / 5m (9.75m) T3 L1 : 67.5k /130m T3 L2 : 149k / 350m (480m) T3 lv3: 240k / 850m (1.33b) Guild lv1: 5k / 25k Guild lv2: 33k / 2.5m (2.525m) Guild lv3: 216k / 75m (77.525m) Guild lv4: 432k / 900m (977.525m) (credits to Rajang) I had put up the total cost there as it is always better to save up to that amount + land exploring cost before buying it. The max plunder caps calculates the Plunder you get when you battle (The first line of your victory screen). Refer to Trex guide for better details on the key aspect of the game. Please take note that there is no more 000/500 to test your max plunder. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10685 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 4. If Stuck... Read this too late? Feel like resetting? If you figured out the money required to invest in allies is too much n no one is willing to volley with you. You might as well reset. But that is just my opinion. Personally, i think it would be easier if you join a good clan after u reset and request for volley promising that you will grow stronger n be active. Get someone to volley you to 200m (via wc, via clan), prove to that someone that you r really active so he can transfer money to you via volley with that money u earn earlier and re-plan your route. =) Link to handbook for kaw. >>everything u need to know!

Re: Basic Terms, Tips and guides for Beginners to Intermediates That was great hunt! Its a simple and fast guide for everyone. IF they read and remember, will go far. I have only one thing to add, about allies i think the best combo is when atk+def= 1800 Ex: atk: 1200 def: 600 atk: 800 def:1000 Why? Cose they will probably be taken from you in one day or 2. So you can take the profit, and buy another one with a little(and i mean little) more plunder. But if you have more money, you can use to buy a real better allie. But ofcourse, some people (like me), like to buy crap allies (200 atk and 200 def). Why? Cose we are buying just for plunder, and no one will pay a considerable ammount of money for crap allies. And also make you less vunerable to strip attacks. Normally, they will choose someone with good allies to strip and will leave your alone. Thx for the heads up and for once more help the kaw community.
Re: Basic Terms, Tips and guides for Beginners to Intermediates Bwah?!?! No link to my allies guide??
Re: Basic Terms, Tips and guides for Beginners to Intermediates Oh, the max plunder can end with 500 instead of 000. Add that, and you're good
Re: :!: Total Walkthrough Guide abt KAW :!: Ver 3.01 Very nice guide except farming-more than 5 att never was and never will be considered as farming. Farming is constantly attacking someone over longer period of time. 5 version is for whiners and farmville fans.
Re: :!: Total Walkthrough Guide abt KAW :!: Ver 3.01 BravoYou really are a good apprentice. , I would say the 5x hit farming is usually upheld by honorable players who consider the feelings of noobs who don't pot. But personally, I believe that the 5x hit rule was evolved to be a minimal excuse for any clan or any individual kingdom to rage a war with another party. -- Here are some interesting perspectives about farming: TZ Guide Farming - TZ Pheonix viewtopic.php?f=6&t=531 Faming and Whining - Pugsly Puppy viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10139 BUMP!
