  1. Hey! Today I'm here to show you some of the basics in KaW. I hope this guide helps!

    ALLIES!!

    A big factor in KaW is allies, the more expensive your allies are, the more money you get per attack, until you are ally capped, to be ally capped, you must have 3X your next land cost in allies. Below "Money in allies" is the amount you will need to have in allies in order to remain ally capped at your point of growth. Ally stats don't affect your plunder at all.

    Land Costs- (Including Highlands)

    BUILDS!

    There are many different builds in KaW. I will show you some below.

    Attack Build- All attack buildings. Attack buildings can get through alot of users, but are not the best build if you are looking for the most plunder possible. The attack buildings are workshops, forges, subterranean factories, and cursed foundries.

    Balanced Build- All of the balanced buildings. This includes circles of elementals, war aviaries, stables, and bestiaries. These buildings give lots of plunder and really help you whether defending or attacking.

    Defensive Build- This consists of all defensive buildings, NOT including towers. The building in this category are barracks, war cathedrals, summoning circles, and titan's lairs.

    Tower Build- This is a build made up of all towers, tower builds can barely ever be defeated, but can't attack to grow themselves.

    Open Spy Farm- An OSF has all guilds. Could also known as a pure spy, but pure spies do not have to be an osf. OSF builds are normally alternate accounts. OSF builds can grow by easily converting back and forth from "Hansel" build (explained below), or getting "war tax", which is explained below.


    WAR TAX

    War tax is money taken out of every attack while in a war. When OSF accounts do plunder wars, they open for attacks while in a war, which produces war tax from every attack. The war tax is approximately 20% of the total plunder earned in a war.

  2. 2nd # at top is plunder you should have in allies:/
     
  3. ... *shivers*
     
  4. Short and kinda choppy but good job overall
     
  5. Nice overall guide death for land costs. Always handy 
     
  6. So many zeros...
     
  7. Your wrong about ally plunder what if I had 25 forges? Or 25 subs?
     
  8. Or am I reading this wrong but if your t3 bc on lowlands 5bill is about max plunder
     
  9. Yes. It can change with upgrades but only by less than 1 mil
     
  10. Still it adds up
     
  11. It would be more than 1mill t2 low land LC I would get like 5mill t3 low land LC
    I would make
    Double that and would only be 5bill at the most
    For max
    Plunder if I was t3 I think what he says is for t4 only
     
  12. I don't mean to burst your bubble, but there was no need to hurt your brain over calculating the lands. There is already a stickied thread in Strategy called BUILDINGS & LAND - (Pictures, Stats, Cost) *updated.

    Also, your statement about needing 3X the amount in allies as your last land, is completely false.

    It doesn't take much to reach ally cap at all. It varies depending on which buildings you use, but I believe it's only something like ~13b to be at max plunder at HLBC. Of course you should have MUCH more than, but that's all that is required.
