Happy New Years Everyone!!

12/30/2024

Hope everyone had a great 2024.  Our game is losing gas day by day, but I can try to get on and post a few fun things over the next few weeks.  I am currently the Chancy at Chaos Rising, not a job I wanted but when we lost Mac (disappeared) if put a void someone had to fill.  I just bought a Gigabyte gaming PC which I am running Blue Stacks on to play the game.  Pretty cool overall as I put Beartooth on stacks.

2/10/2024

Crazy Comments that are just mean in GC.  I can’t believe anyone thinks that harassment is funny or proper.  Sorry, I struggle with mean people that are just hateful and mean.  It’s a good thing this is just a game and not real-life.  When you say things that effect other people in a negative manner you are truly a bad person.  Simply Astounding!  We can only pray these haters find some peace in life.  “Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.”

2/5/2024

Let’s just say I am joining a new team tonight.  There is a player many of us know and love “*****” – AKA Control Freak Farmer – and if he isn’t happy then no one is allowed to be happy.  We all know this game is in death mode but I am just going to play and have fun.  Anyone that brings anything negative to me is going to get me is going to get a very cold shoulder at this point.  I will help my team and I will have my quiet revenge.  Good Luck!

Welcome to February

Beware TK with Montecristo – they will have you poached.  His poacher is Consuela of some alliance named LemonPledge – This is an ALT for sure.  Do not Trade with Montecristo!  I honestly think it’s funny that people don’t understand that the best alts know how to hide that they are just that.  Oh, but he hit Circ, Paws, Scorced …….if I was that ALT, I would hit my own alliance also just to keep my cover!!!  How hard is that to understand.  Ignorance it bliss.

I did the investigation this morning the wild to Consuela was 5 minutes away – so where did Consuela get the cords.  Oh, so you saying he just randomly hit that wild 1 min to 30 secs before Montecristo was to hit.  Here is my opinion on what is happening:  Montecristo bleed the cords to Consuela then he hit after.  Oh, but Darnoc stop your crying!!  Ummmm I am just doing a fact search here vs bitching about it and I am entering an opinion!  My Opinion is this was totally dirty and lead by Circ.  Yea but Darnoc Consuela is hitting Circ also and poaching them…….of course that’s the perfect cover!  I would tell you all he is hitting also. Wake the f up people!

1/30/2024

Well let’s try to put up some content here today:

Here is my suggestion as it relates to Knights in each city.  I am running with 3 Attack Knights, 1 for each Hero to send to BTB.  I send the weakest knight with the strongest hero and the strongest knight with the weakest hero.  To date I have 9-11 Heros I can hit BTB with.  I then carry 1 Defense knight, 1-2 Troop knights, 1-2 Speed hero’s (use to Carmot Mines), 2 Load knights (use to gather RSS), 1 Hybrid (attack or defend – used for hitting Saxson), 1 TK Knight Attack/Troop.   Overall, it depends on what you want to be able to do in each city, but I find having the speed and load knights in all cities is good to game play.

Hero Combinations are going to vary according to the Heros you have.  See testing your Heros below and be willing to ask other players about matching them up.  There are not perfect combos when your early in the game because it depends where you Heros are at….be willing to be flexible and test!

Best Combos:

  • C1 – Gargon, Circe, IK  
  • C2 – Owain, Gareth, Gawain
  • C3 – Bors, Erebus, Wolcos
  • C4 – Stone, Grimm, Alyssa
  • C5 – Chil, Altanta, Dina

2nd Best Combos:

  • C1 – Circe, Wolcos, IK
  • C2 – Owain, Gareth, Gawain
  • C3 – Bors, Erebus, Tristian
  • C4 – Stone, Alyssa, Atlanta
  • C5 – Chil, Dina, Ector

3rd Best Combination (This is for early players)

  • C1 – Wolcos, Elbrus, Bors
  • C2 – Owain, Gareth, Gawain
  • C3 – Bors, Tristan, Ector
  • C4 – Atlanta, Chil, Stone
  • C5 – Lamorak, Grifet, Eric

There are tons of combinations, but I would suggest you attempt to match Fates and test you Heros 1 at a time and see where they are at with Attack.  Just have 1 hero attached and look at report under Hero Info and look at their Attack.  Combine the best you can with the above on your best three, then next best, 3rd best, Defenders, and 4th best.  Lots of testing and be willing to ask your officers what you should do in the combinations.

Look it’s been almost 2 years since I posted last on this Blog but based on a few things happening in the game I thought it would be good to do something fun and some people are not going to like this.  I will try to follow this post with more great info but for now I think I have a grind to mix with a few people:

Evelynn “Carms” of Polaris – This girl is a hateful person.  She talks down on the game about people and makes very rude and mean comments.  If you don’t have something nice to say maybe is best to keep your big mouth shut.  I imagine that’s pretty hard for her actually.  She doesn’t like bald people either, just ask her!  Hair must me pretty important to her.

OCP of His Alliance changes every week – This guy has serious anger management issues.  You can’t even guess what this guy is going to do or say next.  Honestly good player overall just a nut job socially.

Oh yes, I do have 9B in might, but I don’t live on the game!  I play tons of baseball in the spring summer and fall – several tournaments in the winter and my wife and I have 9 kids and 3 grandkids.  We also love skiing in the wintertime and traveling.  So, let’s see – play the game or ski at Big Sky on the weekend.  Reality – I have a Real Life and this game has been going downhill with DECA, so it’s hard to want to give much to it right now.

Gerbicide of Myth – sorry about the mess up on TK on the 21st – I tried to IM you my cords not knowing you never got them – think I set them and then went and did something in the house.  I found out about the mess up a few days later.  By the way, she claims to be the sweetest player ever!

Sera – Thank You for picking up the 6M T2’s with Germicide!!  You are a great teammate!!

Canadians – Thank King Soucy for his service!  Always respect fellow service members.  English members – Devil in Red Army – he chewed some serious dirt.

More to come…………………

Game continues to be such a mess but at least it has been kind working in the competitions, when it wasn’t earlier in collectors.

GW still a mess tonight – no reports no points for hits…..dumb!  I just don’t understand DECA at all.  They are destroying the game and players are so feed up.  Glad I am not one of those players that has spent thousands on the game.

Happy New Year All!!

Big Change today as Gaea messed up Campaign – especially Grampian Mountains and all the hourglass and Bors grinds.  We will see what happens, but one camp went from 3.13B in might to 43.2B – which totally changes the hits.

New Campaign hits the Game – Cairngorm Hills – You’re going to Need serious heroes on this one.  More Info soon but know you’re going to need 300/350 Levels and Buffs – I would not burn Troops here until you have serious Heros!

Well in GC today I was again treated like crap from a player named LOTTY who is an alliance called HashtagDed who is run by a true hypocrite named TKO.  These  are people that are mean and hateful to anyone they choose.  They have a narritive and make judgements about people to fit the narritive they wish to spread about the person.  They don’t care how they look when they treat others like crap they are just narcissists and ego maniacs.  They think only of themselves and think they know everything about that game.  Up for discussion was a simple issue of ONE HITS on SAXSON Camps.  So if you want to know how to ONE HIT SAXSON Camps please just message me in the game and I will help you. Since I would hate to prove to anyone my knowledge of Foe Life and Foe Attack and the keys of hybrid usage.  I wouldn’t also want to disclose my vast experience with the whole battle calculator that rests behind every battle in KOC just like it did in KOM.  Hmmmm maybe it’s just a bearded monkey.  Have a great day all!

If you at the Div Lab training level do not sell short the need to Level Up Settlers, Deadly Demise and Geometry.  I know it’s tempting to jump to those Level 2’s but I can tell you the long-term benefits of the three I have noted are pretty important.

Adding Cyclone to TAT is important.  Know that during TAT’s the Three main Grinds you will need are 3 Day Speed ups Map 5, this will help you rack up Bors Medals and make sure you use the *15’s! Cyclones on Map 4, Lamorak medals and *5.  The last is the AC grind on Map 1 getting 3 Owain medals.  These are the basic three grinds to be successful in TATs.  Other good speed up in Map 56 are good to have 24 Hours and 15 Hour.  ———–Now remember this is about adding Cyclone to your TAT.   The first thing you should always do is check your Idle Pop is near the Pop Limit you should do a dismiss first (Watch my Utube Video).  If Idle pop is low then this is when you should POP a CYCLONE.  Now you can do a dismiss.  The calculation is Pop Limit – Idle Pop + Pop Limit = Dismiss Supply Troops needed.  —- When desperate is TAT you can always dismiss the troops your have trained.  They will still count to totals.  Don’t be afraid to get rid of you millions of T1’s either.

As your Cottages get to *13 *14 *15 your going to find your going to need to start working on the trainers.  Eric-Lamorak-Laundine for Calvary, Dinadin, Enid and Laundine for Swords and Balan, Gals and Grifiet for Ranged Troops.  In the Skills and Fates you will find way to speed up your training with these hero’s.  This has an effect on the training time and this should not be ignored.  I know many of us just want to work Bors, Elbrus, Wolf, Atlanta and the other big attack and defensive hero’s but these other hero’s have a purpose.

Aglovale and Grifiet are huge to increase your storage.

Wigglesworth and Brangaine can help you build faster – don’t be afraid to use these skills it will save time.

New Player in this ST PATRICKS DAY COLLECTORS – 1) Buy Wolcos, 2) Elbrus and Chills, 3) City Solace Deed, 4) Ghost Set, 5) Divine Set, 6) Abyss Set 7) Spy Ring 8) Grail Trainings 9) Imperial Training 10) Speed Ups!   Know that speed ups will help you build faster – build that Knights Hall up fast so you can upgrade your knights and use the gear!

3/8/2021

Today and I made a huge decision and many may feel I was selfish.  The group I was in the Collective made a decision between the Chancy, VC and officers to go to CirqueDuSoliel.  I told them that I would not go and that I would rather earn my way.  I could have went for this collectors but instead I choose to play the game with Honor and Loyalty as my major beliefs.  Remember, I would be in Cirque on 146 getting the biggest and best prizes for this collectors, but instead I said no, and for that I am labeled selfish.  I believe the opposite is true.  I instead went to play with an Honorable group in Mythandria and here I will likely stay.  Call me crazy and full of moral values or as some say just a stubborn old veteran.  Reality is I would rather EARN SOMETHING any day of the week than to go and be given it.  I have  always been the guy that ends up short in these deals, but it’s ok, cause I still have my Honor and Loyalty.  Remember when this game and server is dead and gone that all the prizes in the world didn’t mean crap.  What matters are the friends and friendships you have made along the way

3/4/2021

Several New Tips for you today:

King Maleagant in Campaign – Once you have a set of Attack Gear with 1000 Attack and 1000 Foe Life or a combination of 2000 between the two and a knight of 35 or higher you should start hitting this boss with a HERO of 150 – March 2 or higher – Us your weakest Hero to hit the 10 – Like a Garth at 150 in a city with Owain.  Next move to the 20 with your next hero to hit the 20 like a Pals or Erec or Enid at 200 – these are also good for the 10.  Otherwise use your Erebus Owain.  For the 30-60 the best hero’s are Bors, Erebus and Wolcos.  The key is knowing who can kill what so you might have to play around.  Just know when your strongest hero can’t kill him you might need to double up, if that doesn’t work triple up.  If you can’t win with your best three then give up till your Heros are stronger.  Most bigger players have six hero’s and they use one for each level.  If you don’t have that you have to be creative and combine.  FYI a 200 Owain with March 3 and the gear above will clear the Top King Maleagant at 60!  Happy King Maleagant hunting.

Stamina in the Round Table – Events – Grails – It is critical that you buy all 100 of the stamina Every time this option comes up!  It will cost 150,000 Grails but it is worth every penny.

Spend and Get – this is one of the best times to spend Gems.  This is a good time to explore and spend 2 for and extra click (See details in Blog about when to do the second click and when not to do it).

Opening your Maps is Critical – Getting Heros upgraded to 150 and higher and march on attack to 3 you can really start testing you power to open Forest of Yair.  Never use troops on these maps if you don’t have to open them.  You can read about grinding with troops on campaign on the blog – there are good times to use troops in campaign.  Grinding with troops is a key part of the game but know when you wasting troops – its a fine line.

Using a Blood Fury is always good for Map Opening and Grinding – Elite Map Camp 5.  I suggest attempting to get a Blood Fury on this map all the time.

Fertile Storm – Map 4 Camp 7 – When running TAT’s these are great to have.  Here’s how you use them.  Watch my video on Double Pop!  Now when your Pop is Zero – go into your Resources and use one of these Fertile Storms.  Now use your Supply Troops to double your population – its the same calculation Population Limit – Idle Population + Population Limit = The number of Supply Troops to Dismiss.  Keep doing this over and over during TATS.  Cuts in Half the number of Supply Troops you need in Double Pop TATS!

Mining – Think about building Speed Knights to get you to the mines faster!  Also when mining remember the speed of your troops you are using for mining.  Obviously T3’s will move to the mines faster than T2’s and T1’s.

Remember during TATS – the fastest Troop to Train for the most might is T2’s unless you are using Grails and Training T5 or higher.

Ask me about How you can get the Barron Helm – this is the BEST TROOP helmet in the game but its going to take you some work to get it.

02/09/2021

Everyone it is important when training and speed training that you assign Heros to cut training time:  Infantry Trainers – Dinadan, Enid, Laudine ==== Calvary Trainers – Lamorak, Eric, Laudine ====Artilary Trainers – Galeschin, Balan, Griflet

Storage helpers – Agovale and Griflet will increase your storage ability.  (Pretty Important when you start saving Carmot).

Been taking a lot of time off due to RL and Work.  Landed a new Executive Job and the demands have been very high level vs. being able to blog here and play the game.  Might work on a few things this weekend.

11/15/2020

Elaines Grace and Viniane’s Aura for 5th City.  Go To Round Tower – Artifacts – City Deed and you will find them in there.

4/22/2020

  1.  Published a Great NEW PLAYER video on YouTube!!
  2.  New Players here is some advice as it relates to Hero’s
  3.  Named Medals should be held and used after 100 and on Skills and Fates!!!
    1. Use Gold Medals before you use the named medals.  If the alliance wins Gems use the gems to buy the new Knight & Her Upgrade 1 for 19 gems.
    2. Erec to 80 is going to be 184 to 185 Gold Medal or Erec Medal Packs!
    3. Now that you have Owain work on just Map 1 until you have Owain and Erec up to Level 100.
      1. Owain to 100 will cost 370 Gold Medals or Names Medals
      2. Erec to 100 will cost 295 Gold Medals or Names Medals
    4. Once you have both Erec and Owain at 100 now plow through Map 2.  Also hit the first five 5 camps of Elite Map 1 – with special focus on Camp 5 Blood Fury which gives you 100% attack buffs.
    5. At the end of Map 2 your will get Garth.  Once you have Garth I would tell you your going to want to work on Owain and Garth but getting Garth to 100 before you go to the next map would be best.
    6. Now that you have Erec, Owain and Garth at 100 its time to move on to Map 3 and get Pals.  As you can see this is a step by step process.  Work the process is the best way to be successful
    7. Now the plan is to get Pals to 100, again use the gold medal packs over named medals.
    8. During a Collectors event there are opportunities that will award you Chills and Erebus.  If you don’t have to save the named medals your get for Chills and try to get him to 100 with gold medal packs.  More important you if your get Erebus put all other hero’s on hold accept for named medals and use every gold medal pack on Erebus till you get him to 100.
    9. If during Collectors event if  you get Wolco’s = do not apply named medals to upgrade him and now spend every gold medal on getting this hero to 100!
    10. If you are able to kill bosses in campaign there are some great fast upgrading items that will really help you!  They are called Guidance!  There’s Mystic Guidance L100, L125, L150, Celestial Guidance L50, L80, L90, Enchanted Guidance L115, xxx, xxx and Sacred Guidance!  Read these very close and use them carefully.  When you get some bigger hero’s these are a fast way to upgrade minor heros.
    11. Depending on the hero’s you have will depend on what hero you should be working on and you could be working on more than 1 as time goes on.  A lot depends on what your attempting to do.  Ask your officers and team members what you should do next!
    12. Round Table Knights – Owain, Gareth, Palamedes, Tristan, Chilblain, Erebus, Ector and Bors

4/20/2020

  1. Sorry all been busy with COVID19 and School online for kids.
  2. Here are TWO IMPORTANT FACTS that are not written down and if someone doesn’t tell you – you might not know or learn!
    1. Beat the Boss is a Cumulative Game the more you hit the more you score.
    2. In TK if you are trading your can only go back and forth twice.  So if your trading 100K T2s then you attack your trade partner twice he hits you twice. That’s it NO MORE!!!  Anything beyond twice with a partner you get no score for so just cut off after twice!
    3. Never trade TKS with 1 troop even to even things up – you will get no score!
  3. When upgrading your HERO’s – I can not stress the importance of making your first upgrades MARCH vs the %’s.  March lets higher level troops serve as the might of your Hero…Base Level 1 is T1 at 4 might, T2 is 16, T3 is 24…..just like outlined on the game.  March skill allows you to send your hero on march alongside your troops. A marching hero carries with him an invisible army, so called “hero troops”. These troops behave very much like your ordinary troops, except when they die they don’t count towards killed might or TK score, and they can regenerate (they don’t go to hospital, however). Remember, that the March skill only defines the hero troops, and has no direct effect on real troops. If your hero leads t3, and you send him along with your mixed knight and a wave of t2 troops to campaign hoping that the hero protects your troops, you’ll be disappointed.  March troops your sending with march for max effectiveness. You’d want the opposite order, so in this case you need to have your real troops be same or higher tier than your hero troops to be protected by them.

  1. In world 146 and a lot of the newer worlds the Academy is worthless after you level it up to 10.  While there is an Eagle Eye 11 – there are no scrolls to take you to 11.  So the Academy becomes a worthless building and lots of higher level players destroy it for an extra barracks or cottage.

4/4/2020

  1. Hey all sorry have been tied down with RL and have not had time to blog.
  2. There are Two Knights that get added to your 5th City, Hospital City.  To unlock these two you need City of Solace Crests.  Your can get those by attacking L6-10 Pictish Camps – I recommend with stick with L6 and L7 for best loss rates.  This is the same way you gather City of Solace Crests or Crests for City’s 2-3-4.  \
  3. Buying City Two and Three with Grail’s is the way better way to go for new players.  You will have to crest for the 4th and 5th city’s but there are a few other ways to get those cities, buy them or via collectors and special giveaways.
  4. Thanks TeraStorm.  HeBegeBy (I’m not an alt)
  5. LEARNING TO REIN another player – Hey everyone there is NO REASON to send troops if you’re REINING in KOC unless your sending the best DEFENSIVE set of hero’s and know that you have the best defensive knight.  Big players when farming are going to send 3000-6000 wagons and 3000-6000 troops with it.  If they hit a reined city with TROOPS they are going to grab their best counter knight and they are going to come after you with their best Attack Hero’s.  Unless your have the Def Set of Hero’s and Knight in place.  If not, you’re F’d!!  They will attack and blow your troops away with just Hero’s.  The TK will be them losing one troop and you losing all troops and getting hero’s blown out.  Trust me K.E from M!

3/31/2020

  1. You can find me on Facebook at Darnoc Darnoc or Email me at Darnockoc@gmail.com
  2. New Players I can’t tell you enough that this game is played and your account grows more with you hitting Campaign very hard.  Using Hero’s get your Campaign Maps Open and New Players focus on getting OWAIN MEDALS.  20 Hits a Day is a MUST DO on the Rebel Army Camp Lv Might 29.9K this drops 3 Owain Medals, Hammers and Arthur’s Conscripts.
  3. New Players START with a MORE BALANCED Set up in your Cities.  It is easy then to decided the way you want to be set up.  There are a TOTAL of 32 Slots in City 1 when you have the city to full potential with the Div Lab.
  4. Lets look at some big players set ups fast.  TKO its you lucky day – TKO is set up as follows C1 – (9=Cottages) and (14=Barracks) note he has deleted Academy, Relief Station and Workshop, SPECIALIZED – (21=Cottages) and (3=Barracks) note he has deleted Academy, Relief Station, Workshop, Stable, Round Tower so he can only train Foot in this city – My set up in C1 is – (13=Cottages) and (8=Barracks) I have deleted Academy.

  1. I took the day off yesterday to hang with kids and family!
  2. Hey this is the Second time this has happened or come up today.  Aglovale does not become an attack hero until 150!  This is also true for Balan and Balin!  Dinadan will never march he is defensive only.
  3. I highly suggest you all consider using Discord or Line apps to communicate.  The reason is very simple.  Your able to share screen shots and this is VERY helpful.  If your NOT in your alliances communication app you should ask ask your leadership if they use Discord or Line.
  4. Celestial Guidance is regular hero’s and Sacred Guidance is for Round Table hero’s.
  5. Darnoc can I trade TK’s with someone yet?  Your Knight has to be 800+ Attack!  Here’s where you check that:  Knights Hall – Click Knights – Find your Attack Knight and click on Equipment – Now Click on the left Details – Under Attack your number has you be over 800 to Trade Tk’s.  I suggesting having a Hospital before starting TK trading but its not required but it is very wise.
    1. So lets say you have a 800+ Knight and you want to trade with someone.  Here is the easiest way to make a trade. First, clear the City you are going to use of all troops and make sure no troops are coming out of que over the timeline your looking to trade.  Now go to GC and type what your looking to trade and make it simple (Example:  Trade T2 or T3 100K to 150k both ways – PM me)  This means your going to attack them and they are going to attack you!  Remember if your attacking them your going to speed both ways.  Speed there and back so your can assign your Attack knight when them come back.
    2. Someone will now private message you.  Make sure they know your just looking to trade.  Once they say Yes ask them if they want you to set or if they are going to set up.  If they ask you to set up you now need to transfer in the amount of troops your looking to trade with them.  If your attacking you can just send all the troops needed in the trade.  Ok so if they are hitting you – you NOW need to go to Knights Hall and click Position and ASSIGN your 800+ Attack knight to MARSHAL.  Make sure ALL other knights are unassigned during the trade. So now your ready – Now type back to your partner – SET FOR TRADE (400,400) the cords of your city and confirm the troop account Example 150K T3.  Now the last thing you need to do FAST before they come is go to Castle – Defense – and UNHIDE all Troops!  Once your trade partner hits look at report and make sure its even and fair.
    3. Now its time for you to attack them back.  Go to your Castle and Hide all Troops first.  Now Transfer in the troops as needed if they attacked first.  Tell them your ready with troops.  They will give you their cords.  NOW ATTACK them back sending your ATTACK KNIGHT the agreed amount of troops and NO HERO’S.
    4. After the TRADE is DONE – Always say thank you.  If there are any issues bring it up immediately to the trade partner and in your Alliance AC.
    5. As needed start the process over with a new partner.
  6. Remember Everyone there is a issue with COLLECTORS PRIZES right now – St Pats Day Collectors 2020.  Be patient and let GAEA fix the issue.  They are aware of the claim problem.  Email was sent out

  1. Hospital – How to set it up!  I use my Hospital City as a 100% healing city.  Here is the way I have my city set up.   The way you set up yours is 100% up to you.  Basics: Castle, Wall, Rally, Knights Hall, Workshop, Blacksmith, Storehouse, 1 Cottage, 25 Hospitals.
  2.  City Sets are 100% based on what a person wants to do in their Cities.  The key is understanding how fast do I want to train my troops.  If your on the game quite a bit then having more barracks than cottages in best but if you more balanced then balance is good.  If your not on the game but an hour or less then having more cottages is the best way to go.  Of course I some also build a Might Train-A-Thon City.  This city is 100% based on having as much Training Ability as possible but having your 2X pop at about a 3 day level cause those Speeds with new Map 6 are the easiest to get!

3/27/2020

  1. Nothing Special so far today to write about yet today!
  2. Ok here is a funny one for the day.  Ozark came out of Netflix today and we decided to do a drinking game based on every time they said (Fuck, Fucking or Fucked)  This was not a good idea!!!!  Needless to say we watched three episodes and we drank a lot!  Ruth alone is killing us!!

3/26/2020

  1. Darnoc I don’t have any GEMS to Embed!  I heard this today.  Get out there and survey Wilds.  Attack a level 1-2 Wild, then survey, then collect gem.  You can do this 40 times a day!  DARNOC YouTube Channel for KOC
  2. Knights Gear people can only be used when you get to the proper level.  So this is a two fold issue.  First you need to work on your Knights Hall and get it up to at least *2 for New Players – then you have to work on getting your Knight leveled up to the level of the gear.  I suggest new players use Celestral or Wisdom Gear until you get your Knights Hall raised and your knights raised.  At *10 you can use Highlander, Forester, Viking and Savanger (see how to use these in comments below – to search the page do a Contol+F) *15 Gladator.
  3. There are lots of TYPES of Knights you can build.  Here are a few of the basic ones: 1) Attack Knight – high levels of attack, 2) Defensive Knight – high levels of Life, 3) Speed Knight – high levels of speed (good for mining), 4) Load Knight – high levels of load and troop.  5) Hyrbrid Knights can be geared two ways – Large levels of Foe Life for Attacking or Large levels of Foe Attack for Defending.
  4. Foe Life – Takes Life away from an Attacker.  Works in reverse when your the attacker with a Foe Life Knight.
  5. Foe Attack – Takes Attack away from an Attacker. Works in reverse when your the attacker with a Foe Attack Knight.
  6. In my blog I have a whole paragraph and outline on battle tactics.

  1. Remember people that you can’t upgrade knights w/out upgrading tower.  Get tower to *2 for knight *25 *4 for *35 knight *7 for *50 knight.
  2. Most chat rooms AC use 123 to close a request.  We also use 9 9 9 9 to say that all requests for resources are closed about that request.  It’s best to understand your groups rules when requested RSS.
  3. NEW PLAYERS – Once you get a Level 100 Hero you should be using them all the time to gather RSS, attack on campaign or attacking PIC Camps.  I suggest having a good attack knight with about 500 attack.  This will keep your loses low and your train back high!  Whatever the case you should always have heros working for you!  Even if you just hitting pic camps levels 6-7 for crests and rss.  You should never stop them from moving while your on the game.  If you heros are ready send them out.
  4. If you have players in your alliance always asking for RSS, just understand these are not active players that work the game.  They let others do the work for them.
  5. Pic Camp 6  35K Gold, 105K Food, 70K Wood, Stone, Ore
  6. Pic Camp 7  44K Gold, 132K Food, 88K Wood, Stone, Ore
  7. Pic Camp 8 75K Gold, 226K Food, 150K Wood, Stone, Ore
  8. Pic Camp 9 113K Gold, 339K Food, 226K Wood, Stone, Ore
  9. Pic Camp 10  141K Gold, 425K Food, 283K Wood, Stone, Ore
  10. To Grind for wheel tokens to grind for wheel tokens that is the question.  If you can the best grind for wheel tokens in Map 3 Level 11 5.53K might – I can hit with one Hero and win with 25 T3 BR Troops.  Grind away for so many hits with the hopes of getting a 50!  Good Luck and use those Stamina wisely!

  1. Lots of Questions about the drop rate on BORS.  After 40 hits here is what I am experiencing.  First, I am hitting Camp 17 Level 25 3.13B.  Drop Rates have been as follows 1-2 Bors (5) every 10 hits, 3-5 *15 Trainers for every 20 hits and 3-5 Day Speed Ups.
    1. I have now found I can hit him with just 1 Hero and 400 T3’s.  I would suggest everyone test what you can do.  I have 250/March 3 heros and over +2200 attack knight.  This has speed up my grind on Bors (Thanks BallBag)
  2. This is one of my Favorite Grinds for 15 Day Speed Ups!  I do this and rotate between two Tristan Camps for Gold Tristan Medals.  Map 4 Western Shore Camp 17 Level 50 748m Might, Cheap hit at -1, Griflet which you can use to up your carmot storage ability, *5 Imperial Trains and Five 15 Minute speed up.  After gaining 10 or so jump to FinnMcCool Camp 15 Level 46 814m Might.  Good Prizes Tristan medals, Arcane Bonds and Blood Fury’s.  Great Grind cause you can keep using Wolco’s over and over with the 15 minute speed ups. Other Tristan camp is Camp 19 Level 54!
  3. All Players (BOSS) EVIL KING MALEAGANT – Level 10-60 – hits are really something that all players should be doing!  This is the best way to get Stamina and Gems!  Of course having higher level of Hero’s is critical to the task.  I would keep testing what level bosses your hero’s will kill and how many you need.
  4. So one of the BIG QUESTIONS is what HERO’s do I work on as a NEW PLAYER.  Now with NEW PLAYERS able to join alliances that are getting and winning Wolco’s, Erebus and Chilblain in Collectors should I even work on Garth or Erec.  Honestly I think the best thing for you to do is FOCUS on OWAIN – EREBUS – WOLCO’S and CHILBLAIN to 100!  This is done by using your GOLD MEDALS WON and GRAIL’S you can buy GOLD MEDALS PACKS.  Then combine Owain, Erebus and Wolco’s to keep working your way up the campaign winning more hero’s!  I would GRIND MAP 1 for OWAIN MEDALS and upgrade him Upgrade Skill Lion’s Roar and The Adventurer as your main priorities!
  5. We always preach playing Beat the Boss.  So if your not please go to the main page of the blog and find out how to play!  Winning Grail’s is a MUST!  You will find that here –>https://kocbattle4thenorth.home.blog/basic-playing/

  1. During a collectors its CRITICAL that you place in every event you can.
  2. Doesn’t matter if you get last but do pay attention to the competitions.
  3. Don’t use Troop’s on Campaign until you have advanced gear and advance knights.  USE HERO’S to open your maps.
  4. Div Lab will Appear at *13 Level it is mostly Buffs and Speeds.  I will do an article on the Div Lab Levels in the Blog Site.
  5. Carmot you can start gathering at *12 but make sure you have storage at *12 also so you don’t lose it.  Aglovale and Griflet
  6. Test each Hero in Campaign and see what MAX level they can kill on their own.  Write it down and map it so you can effectively use hero’s to grid items needed.
  7. If you have an 100 Level hero with good 1200 attack will beat Elite Map 1 up to the Camp 5 which will give you Blood Fury’s 100% Buffs!  These are important for Campaigning higher and for BTB.
  8. Make goals and go after them.
  9. Campaigning is perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT PART of the game!  If your not doing it your falling behind everyday!
  10. Exploring everyday is a must with your HERO’S!  If your not doing it your again falling being everyday.
  11. Before you start a grind for an item in campaign make sure you TALK TO PEOPLE in AC.  Test Hero’s and Knights!
  12. Defensive Knights work best on Maps 1 and 2 – They do better usually than Attack Knights but you will need to have them built up some with a decent set of defensive gear.
  13. New Players – Basic first gear Celestial, then Wisdom then move up to Attack Knight – *10 Forester, Highlander *15 Gladiator, Defensive Knight *10 Viking and Savager and Warbringer’s Weapon.
  14. If your looking to do and upgrade on Owain its going to take 7 bottles of stamina and 140 hits on Pictish (Map 1) Camp #13 Level 3 Rebel Army Might 29.9K will win you about 105 Medals.  Prizes are Gold Medal of Owain (3), Master Hammer (Lv3), Arthur’s Conscripts.  Why this Camp – AC’s!!!  Drop rate on Owains is about 75% * 140 hits = 105 Medals!  Grid is the Key to this game! (Level 10 Round Tower) Attacking with 5555 T2 Mounts.  With HERO’s just use ONE TROOP and HERO!
  15. WARNING OWAIN BEFORE GARTH!!  GARTH NOT WORTH COST!! If your looking to do a upgrade on Garth its going take 9-10 bottles of stamina and 200 hits on The Debatable Lands (Map 2) Camp #11 Level 7 An Army of Knights Might 457K will win you about 100 Medals.  Prizes are Gold Medal of Garth (2), Master Hammer Lv4 and Arthur’s Conscripts.  Again extra befit here are the AC’s.  Drop rates on Garth’s is about 50% * 200 Hits = 100 Medals!  Attacking with 5555 T2 Ground – Defensive Hero with 828 Life 95 Attack and 591 Foe Life.  Lose rates will be about 50 Troops per hit. With HERO’s just use ONE TROOP and HERO!
  16. HUGE LEARNING ISSUE for all.  LEADING TROOPS by HEROS – first category under skill for HEROS – If your at Lv 1 your Hero leads level 1 troops.  Higher tiers of troops always have higher attack than lower tiers, and thus, naturally, it would make sense to always elevate the March skill as much as possible. Note: you need to have your real troops be same or higher tier than your hero troops to be protected by them.  Also make sure your RING is in line with the Troops your are using to get FULL BUFF FROM IT!
  17.  REIN – MAKE SURE YOU MATCH your defense! Heroes, who can march, can be sent as a reinforcement to friendly cities. However, they won’t take part in combat, unless they also have the Defense skill.
  18. WOLCO’S and EREBUS – GRAIL’S is the best way to get medals.  Other places medals appear are in premium and wheel grand prize chests. DURING COLLECTORS YOU can sometimes buy another CALL which will come with 100 Medals!  This is a good deal if you have the prizes!  I have not seen this for Erebus just Chills and Wolcos!
