    Note; All of these stats listed above are based on bonus stats to allies,
    The reason being is that is what player profiles are viewed as.
    2nd Note; All types of defensive towers use no troops what so ever,
    They provide no attack or plunder but defence level stays the same when constantly being attacked.
    3rd Note; The castle is a building that is used solely to store your gold, it has no attack of defence and cannot be upgraded,
    THERE IS NO CASTLE CODE,
    Do not believe others that have told you about the castle code because no such thing exists.


    Potions:
    Potions can be found in the Marketplace tab,
    You will find there is 11 attack and defence potions and there is 9 spy attack and spy defence potions,
    The higher the price the better effect, but for the best effect is to use all combined together,
    Attack potions can be used however and whenever you like,
    Defence potions will automatically when being attacked.


    Pro packs;
    Pro packs can be found in marketplace under the oracle,
    They vary in price range,
    Each one gives you a permanent item that adds a percentage to either attack, defence, spy attack and spy defence,
    They also give you nobility points and speaker items,
    When you have bought a pro pack you will also have the pro banner.


    Resetting;
    When resetting you start the game again and will be able to change your player name and choose a different class,
    However if you have completed all original lands and you reset you will receive a permanent item that adds a percentage to your stats,
    There is a total of 4 permanent items you can receive by resetting after 4 land completion resets,
    These items cannot be bought in the marketplace.


    The oracle:
    The oracle is found in the marketplace section,
    In here you can purchase nobility points, crystals and pro packs,
    You can also use those nobility points and crystals here,
    The options to use are,
    A certain amount of gold (depending on how many lands and bigger buildings) in exchange for 15 nobility points,
    A name change for 20 nobility points,
    And a full regeneration of troops in exchange for either 10 nobility or 1 health crystal,
    Health crystals can be used 24 times within 24 hours,
    In the place or a clan war you will only be able to 3 crystals every 24 hours.


    Battle button:
    The battle button will bring up a list of players around your own size,
    There will be a larger reward for hitting more powerful kingdoms and a smaller reward for hitting smaller kingdoms.


    Quests:
    There are a total of 69 quests that gradually get harder as you complete them,
    You will gain gold with every success and on occasions you will also earn nobility points and/or crystals and sometimes you will gain bonus gold with a mastery of a quest.
    My advice when doing quests would be to do two hits every 5 minutes that way you stay at maximum attack and will better your chances of success.

    Clans:
    Clans can be made in exchange for either 3,000,000,000 gold or 100 nobility points,
    When creating a clan you will be able to choose the name for that clan,
    A clan can have up to 100 members,
    You can also talk to all members within the clan without the use of speakers,
    In there you will find there will be numbers who can help you and give you advice,
    Clans are used mainly to war with other clans,
    An admin or owner can challenge another clan to war,
    When a clan is challenged they will have 12 hours to vote to accept if 1 admin or owner declines the war will not take place,
    If accepted there will be 24 hours until the war starts for all members of both clans to prepare for war,
    Once the war starts it will last for 48 hours unless the event of a forfeit,
    A forfeit can only be done 24 hours after the war has started,
    When in war every successful hit on another kingdom a war tax will be taken off from your total earnings,
    This tax adds up and goes to the winning side of a war.


    Allies:
    The most important thing in the game in my opinion is allies,
    Allies give you bonus stats and most importantly give you extra plunder,
    Allie plunder is capped to your build but still gives you a lot more than your own plunder,
    E.g. My plunder when hitting is at full troops is 11,321,918 this will decrease as you use your troops,
    My plunder earned from allies is
    28,816,624 this stays the same every hit,
    Total 40,138,542
    Please not that this plunder is taken from a hit on my personal osf if I hit bigger kingdoms I earn more and less on smaller kingdoms.



    Pwar/ plunder war:
    A pwar is a war between two clans,
    These are not normal wars,
    One side will be full of hitters and the other clan will have osf's and sometimes oaf's,
    The osf's and/or oaf's will open for you to attack and steal,
    You will be getting free gold and at the end of the war it will be forfeited for the side that was open for you to make money.


    Achievements;
    Achievements are awarded in game for specific procedures,
    You will earn these as you play along,
    The more you are active and experienced the faster you will earn these achievements,


    Alternate accounts;
    You can only have one account per idevice and one on pc.
    The use of multiple accounts per device will result in a ban.

    What to do for problems?
    If you have any problems with your account or you believe you have been unfairly silenced or have any ideas for KaW email the devs at
    support@athinkingape.com
    Do not email them if you have issues with other players farming you and so on, they don't have time for useless emails.

    My advice;
    This is from my own personal opinions about buildings,
    I would advise using mostly even builds with a couple attack buildings and a couple defence buildings and a few spy buildings for best plunder and extra troops with an all round great attack and defence.


    What do these terms mean?;
    ToU- terms of use

  14. That's one thing I've for got to add I know its not a part of the game but it's still done a lot,
    Wall art,
    Simple to do, all you need is the emoji app from the app store (it's free)
    Next do it in notepad, that way you can store it there and copy and past to people's Walls,
    When using notepad go down a line first before starting your art or the first and second line will join together,
    Use the return bar when you want to go down.

  17. To show your screen shots in forums you have to have the photobucket app,
    To post a ss change photobucket settings to 320x320,
    Then upload your images to pb,
    After that press the little i button in the corner and copy the bottom link.
