This is a KaW Warring Guide... By:The_EpicNess Starting wif: ->War Slang ->Types of war ->preparing for war ->Utilizing Resources ->Tips and Advice ->War Builds ______________________________________ ×War Slang× Slang is commonly used in war as you are often in a hurry and need to get things out quickly. The following are some common war terms. Pin- To make someone "Too weak" Sit- To keep someone "Too Weak" DTW- Defender Too Weak Regen- To get more troops Full- To have full troops Xstal- Using a crystal from the oracle. Scout Bomb- To scout someone a lot Assa- To assassinate someone Plunder- The amount of gold you make from an attack/war Tax- The amount of gold taken away in war Strip- "Dirty Tactic"- To hire someone's allies and take gold Pots- Battle items from The Marketplace. NP- Not Pinned P- Pinned or pots F- Full PS- Pure Spy OSF- Open Secret Farm Lurk- Being in a chat without talking Mercs- "Dirty Tactic"- Players brought in from outside a clan to war. Next are some common war phrases. The phrases may be confusing, but they're used often and as such are "need to know" info. 12/48- If you see two large 2 digit numbers side by side it's usually how many troops you have out of your max troops. To double check this, the second number is always larger then the first. "Enemy's name" 3/4 10p- If you see a name followed by 2 one digit numbers (usually) it will be how many successful attacks you made out of how many attacks you finished on that person. The number beside that will often be how many pots they have. Everyone Xstal!- If you hear someone say "everyone Xstal" it means to use a crystal. You do this to jump ahead to a big lead suddenly. _______________________________ @Types of War@ There are 3 common types of war. These wars have specific rules and such in them. These types of war are not run by the war system, they are run by the clans participating in the war. Friendly War Friendly Wars are meant to be fun for all members of the clan. The rules here are strict, and you need to follow them or you risk being kicked from your clan. Some common Friendly War rules are: 1) No Trash Talking 2)No Stripping 3)No Mercs 4)No WC Targeting 5)No Crystals (Sometimes) 6)No Pure Spies (Sometimes) Hostile Wars Hostile Wars are often used to settle disputes between people or clans. There are no rules in Hostile Wars and they often go on for weeks. These are by far the most grueling wars and you don't want to be caught in one unprepared. Plunder Wars Plunder Wars are a great way to make money. Basically, One clan has pure spies (usually around 5) and the other clan attacks them. These wars are rather boring and leave a negative mark in your war history but are good for money. There are very few rules for these wars but here they are: 1)No spying the OSFs 2)No opening them on WC 3)No inviting friends (Sometimes) ___________________________________ Preparing for War There's a small checklist of things that you should always have before a war. If you are missing 3 or more of the items from the list maybe you should reconsider joining the war. At least 100 of all defense, attack, spy attack, and spy defense pots. (250 for a hostile war) Max Plunder An appropriate warring build 6 Health Crystals (optional) Time to be active (delay your dinner date to next week, maybe call in sick) Also, before you join a war you want to make sure you have a couple things done first: 0 gold out Full troops If you have all of the above, you have a high chance of doing well and an ok chance of being a top raiser. You are now set and ready for the war! ___________________________________ Utilizing Resources{|xxxx|}========> Health Crystals You should use your crystals sparingly as you're only allowed 3 crystals every 24 hours in a war. There are really only 4 situations where you should be using a crystal: 1. You are pinning an active target. 2. You are winning just about all of your attacks on someone: 3. One of the enemies has left money out and can be stolen or attacked. 4. It is near the end of the war or the 24 hour mark. If you do end up using a crystal I'd also recommend doing the following: 1. Let your clan mates know that you're crystaling. 2. Ask for an active target to dump your troops on before crystaling. 3. Make sure that no one is actively attacking you (You don't want to crystal just to lose your troops to the enemy right away.) Nobility You can use nobility to regenerate your troops, however, they count towards your daily three crystals. Most people use their nobility points in war for "Dirty Tactic"-Stripping money. This will help free up enemy money. ___________________________________ ~Tips and Advice~ There are a few things that you should always do in a war that will help you excel: Keep Max Plunder Hit the targets from clan chat Bank your gold in pots Report your hits on CC If someone's hitting you, tell your clan master or admits. ___________________________________ War Builds There are several kinds of war builds, each having it's own strengths and weaknesses. Here are 3 of the main builds: Turtle Build A Turtle Build is any build with high defense. These builds give up very little plunder, however, they're tough to gain plunder with. A common turtle build is: 12 defense towers, 10 spy defense towers, 1 guild, and 1 Tier 3 Building. Pure Spy/Hansel Build A Pure Spy build is a build with 24 Guilds, while a Hansel build is a build with 23 Guilds and 1 Tier 3 Building. A pure spy cannot be attacked with no money out, however generates low plunder. A Hansel build gives high plunder but it is very unlikely to win with in an attack. Also, a Hansel Build is unattackable by others unless they are a Hansel build (or close to) as well. Now the war depend on you and your clan... Good Luck ~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________
Copied Dilly's guide? Incorrect info. Bad spelling/ grammer. No colour. No links. Left out some information and detail that would help. Wrong names. Out of date things like pwars... Need I go on? Tip- Don't make guides that already exist and don't make guides unless you're an experienced forumer/ player/ writer.
@Darknight open SECRET farm is where the acronym osf comes from as the original osf's were guarded. Kept in secret and defended fiercely
