    Note; all these stats are based on bonus to allies which is what people base stats on KaW.
    Note 2; defensive towers consist of 0 troops and use up none when being attacked and make it more difficult to be attacked.

    Potions:
    I will not be listing all potions as the price and effects can be seen if you go to marketplace.
    However the attack potions consist of 11 items and can be used combined together to give you better attack.
    Defence potions consist of 11 items and will automatically be used as soon as you are attacked.
    Spy attack and defence potions only have 9 of each but work the same as the attack and defence potions.

    Pro packs;
    If some one can list these for me it would be much appreciated I bought these a long time a go and can not remember them all sorry for the inconvenience.
    The pro packs give nobility points and speaker items and also gives permanent items that add a certain percentage to your stats,
    This can not be seen on your stats but is always there when attacking or defending,
    The total of the pro pack percentage is 25% to all
    Attack, defence, spy attack and spy defence

    Resetting;
    Resetting when you have explored all lands (first 25 lands)
    You will receive a permanent
    item that adds a percentage to
    your stats.
    These items can not be purchased from the oracle like the pro packs.
    You will receive one item per land complete reset for four resets.

    The oracle:
    Taking a trip to the oracle, you can purchase nobility points, health crystals and the pro packs for real money there.
    Nobility points can be used in exchange for gold, name change or to regenerate your troops and can be used to buy speak items to use for world chat.
    Crystals can be used only to regenerate troops, only 24 crystals can be used in 24 hours unless in war than you are only permitted to use 3 crystals every 24 hours.

    Battle button:
    The battle button will bring up a list of players around your own size and you have been shown how to use this in the tutorial.

    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:
    A clan can consist of a hundred members and the owner of a clan can make anyone they like admin and give out titles (admins can give titles to lower privilege members)
    Clans are used to war with other clans,
    An admin or owner can challenge another clan to war but will only take place if the clan being challenged votes to accept the war.
    After the war has been accepted the war will start 24 hours after so members can prepare for war,
    Once a war starts it will last for 48 hours unless fortified,
    A forfeit can only be available after 24 hours after the war has started,
    For a good war your clan should challenge rival clans,
    Rival clans are based on clan ranking and can be found by pressing clan tab then at the top there will be a status bar,
    Press that and it will give a list of clans with similar player stats to your own clans ranking.

    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 you can earn without,
    When you are hired as an ally by someone you will gain some gold this is capped to 1,000,000 as the gold you gain when you are hired,
    It's very helpful as a new player to be hired/volleyed,
    A volley is when two or more people continuously hire another player to a price of their choice,
    Every time you are hired your value price goes up.
    Guilds and strongholds raise this max ally plunder thats why you will see some people with a hansel build (all spy build with one attack building)

    Pwar/ plunder war:
    These are a great way to grow as a pwar is two clans that war together and one side known as the osf side (open spy farm) which is a all spy build with no attack buildings and sometimes a oaf will be on an osf side (open attack farm) which is a all attack with no spies,
    And if an osf/oaf has gold out you may attack freely and make easy money,
    And the hitting side will hit as long as osf's or oafs are open,
    Every attack or steal during war a war tax is taken off from your plunder and at the en of a war the winning side will take a share of the tax that was earned during the war,
    No matter what your size if another player is a lot bigger than you, you can still hit when in war,
    Whereas outside of war an error message will appear saying cannot hit defender too strong,
    At the end of a pwar the hitting side will forfeit the war to give the war tax to the osf so they can grow more and benefit from sitting on the computer all day selling one potion at a time to keep gold out for people to hit.

    Farming:
    Some people love it most hate it,
    Farming is when you hit the same player 5 times or more within 24 hours,
    It is not against the rules to farm someone but most of the time it is frowned upon as it uses up the defenders pots and gold,
    Its basically an unwritten rule between players of KaW so everyone can get along,
    Strip farming is when you hire away a players allies to then farm them.

    Dtw/pinned?
    Dtw stands for defender too weak and pinned is when a player becomes dtw from being hit,
    Dtw will occur when hitting an osf if they have no gold out but if someone was to have an attack building and got hit it will pin them when they have 20% or less troops.

    Achievements
    Achievements are awarded for specific things in the game such as successful attacks, loyalty, and getting into the leader boards they can be gained as you play along through the game.

    Mods/moderators
    A mod is a player given the ability to silence players by the devs (developers) they are loyal and helpful players of KaW and if you were to break the rules and terms of use and you are seen by/or reported to by a mod you may be silenced,
    1st and second silences are for 24 hours and are a warning to stop breaking ToU the 3rd will be permanent and you'll be unable to talk in any chat or wall people in KaW.

    Alternate accounts
    You can only have one account per idevice and one on pc.

    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.

    What is bypassing filters?
    A filter is there to cut out obscene language and if you do anything to break the **** is bypassing filters.

  3. Yeah sorry it's not well organised I done it in notepad first x
     
  4. Stats are wrong on Lookout Fortress Lv3 abd Cursed Foundry lv2
     
  5. I've only done em from what I've seen and I'm pretty sure that info is correct x
     
  6. They are based on bonus to allies x
     
  7. It isn't though, trust me. Every forum guide is wrong on those two.
     
  8. Well I just want to say the foundry I have calculated it the defence fortress I haven't I've only been told that x
     
  9. Well sorry if there's false info there but i have been calculating other than the defence towers which I got the info from someone else x
     
  10. No, the foundry lv2 is wrong also. Don't take it personally, it just is. Many just assume these guides are right, but never independently verify them.
     
  11. The correct stats are:

    Cursed Foundry lv2
    51800/34400/0/0

    Lookout Fortress Lv3
    0/0/0/97440
     
  12. Good job
     
  13. Oh yeah the defence is meant to be around 33-35k sorry everyone x
     
  14. Ty sholron for correct info on those x
     
  15. Lol, like I said, few people know the error. No worries
     
  16. My bad I've been doing this for the past few hours x
