Well only way to get gold is by doing: Quests Epic Battles War Battle List Buying it Ally Trading Getting Hired Quests Give you a certain amount every time you do one, they don't give much but it is a sure way of income. Epic Battles Join a good starter clan and attack/steal/assassinate/scout (whatever is needed at the time) on the Epic, you gain gold by Stealing and Attacking. You also receive gold from completing the Epic Battle at the end. War Once you have a high enough stats you can war with a clan, join a war clan (or any clan warring). Attack/steal/scout/assassinate the opponent, you gain gold by Attacking and Stealing. If you clan wins that war you receive Mithril which is only used once you upgrade you Castle to Level 2. That can only be done when you get all Lowlands unlocked. Battle List You don't have to be in a clan for this, but go to Battle and attack and steal from an enemy. Only attack and steal for a total of 5 times unless you want to be farmed. Which is not fun just starting out in the game. Buying Gold Go to Oracle, then purchase gold for nobility points. You have to have 15 nobility points to buy it which means you must spend real money to get those nobility points. The higher your stats are the more gold you get when buying. (I do not recommend buying Gold; it is a waste of money.) Ally Trading Buy a couple small (500mill) allies, when they get bought off you make a small profit added onto the value price that you bought the ally for. Keep buying 500mill allies and wait till they get bought off, it takes time but its free gold Getting Hired When someone hires you, you get a profit for them buying you. The higher your buy price is the higher you get, but there is a catch. Once you reach a profit of 1mill your profit does not go up whenever someone buys you. You will only receive 1mill even if your hire price is in the trillions. Those are the only way of earning/gaining gold in Kingdoms at War, I suggest you join a good established starter clan and do some epics until you get bigger. Then war a little bit, it is a good experience and knowledge to have.
Ebs are fastest when you start... But it's more fun to war. I suggest you starting warring when you're about 1.5mil cs
The Battle List. Or, Epic Battles WITH Battle List. Epic Battles are pointless without Battle List. Heed my warning.
Skim, play 20 hrs a day, make alts on your other devices and do the same and volley allies to your mains benefit, or spend money. In fact, disregard all that. Just buy $1k in nobs...
