DDW Coat of Arms and Symbolism

The skull on top of the shield stands for a constant danger of death (for the enemies).

BEST OVERALL DEFENSE
As we can see, Swordsman has the highest defense per farm space of 52, so defensive force of only Swordsmen would have highest overall value. However, it would certainly be weak against sharp weapons (hoplites)
Second best defensive unit is Archer, with 42 defensive points per farm space. With Sharp Defense value of Archer being the highest, we can see that it combines well with Swordsman. Their combined defense would be 20/33/42 (Blunt/Sharp/Distance) per 2 farm spaces. As we can see, it would be weak against Blunt Weapons.
Chariot is the third best defensive units if we look at defense per farm space (37 in this case). It also has the best defense against Blunt weapons, and is perfect in combination with Swords/Archers. It’s good to notice that instead of 1 Chariot you can have 4 Hoplites with combined Defense Blunt of 72, which is just little short of Chariot’s 76.
This part needs re-evaluation, see Snowman8′s post:
Combined defense of Sword/Archer/Chariot mix would be 39/37/56 per 3 farm spaces, or 108/99/122 (total of 329) for 1 Sword/3 Archer/1 Chariot. This can be replaced with a build of 1 Sword/3 Archer/4 Hoplites which would give 104/131/94 (total of 329) defense distribution.
Possible corrections would have to be made for different kinds of opponent’s offensive builds.
Still, it is clear that possible defensive builds will consist of either Swords, Archers, Hoplites or Swords, Archers, Chariots. It is important to notice that Chariots move 3 times faster than Hoplites, so will be suited for fast support. This is in many ways similar to TW defensive builds where usually Swords are replaced by Heavy Cavalry.
Let’s compare the mentioned builds in terms of resources used, and time to build. Again, this is done for lvl 5 barracks. Higher lvls will just scale the time, but the ratio will remain the same.
1) 1 Sword/3 Archers/1 Chariot
Time to build: 0:17:10/0:54:21/1:31:35, in total 2:43:06
Resources to build: 655/440/630
2) 1 Sword/3 Archers/4 Hoplites
Time to build: 0:17:10/0:54:21/1:27:44, in total 2:39:15
Resource to build: 455/300/910
As we can see, 2) builds faster, but has (very) uneven resources.
If you have other possible builds that you would like to see presented here, just post them in the thread, and I’ll check build times, and resources needed to train them, and possible their defensive values.
BEST OVERALL OFFENSE
When talking about possible offensive force, we can see that that Horseman has highest offense per farm space of 20 (Blunt), followed by Slinger (Distance) with offense per farm space of 19, and Hoplite (Sharp) with offense of 16.
Obviously, army consisting of only Horseman would have highest possible overall offense, but could be easily countered with Chariot. A mix of these 3 units presents the best overall offensive force. The overall offensive power of this army would be 20/19/16 per 3 farm spaces. If we were to aim for best all round attacking force, we see that the desired ratio would be 1.25/1.2/1 (Horseman/Slinger/Hoplite) per 3 farm spaces, or speaking in terms on how many units we need to build, ratio would be 1,25 Horsemen/3,6 Slingers/3 Hoplites. Or 13/36/30, so we don’t cut our horses into little parts
Obviously catapults will be integral part of any decent offensive force, the only question is how many catapults will be needed to tear down walls from its max value to 0. Once we know that number we can start integrating the catapult numbers in our troops ratio.
Things to do:
- evaluate contribution of mythical units to these forces
- evaluate naval forces

KingsAge Article written by player Kappot
I’ve recently joined up again on the .org server. Main reason isn’t to play FT, I just can’t bring the amount of time to the table as yesteryear, but to try out certain tools I’ve recently found through a couple of Google searches.
It’s no accident I stumbled upon them. While I had no pre-knowledge of their existence, I’ve tried to learn to use JavaScript in the past to solve a particular problem (enumerate and use particular information), but it took time which I – in the end – couldn’t justify. I figured smarter people than I would surely hit the same idea, and started searching…
First thing I found was http://www.kahelper.com
It seems the founder of this site created a Firefox add-on called kahelpertool which KingsAge players can install in order to enumerate map data, on settlements, player and alliance statistics. One has to register a kahelper.com username in order to upload data. kahelper.com collects, analyses and presents this data on their website. Data for the following servers (see pic left) are available at this time of writing. A caveat is mentioned: Data is only ever as accurate as the last time kahelpers uploaded it. Rankings stats such as this for s2.kingsage.org are readily available though…
Second thing I found was a Greasemonkey script by Arxleol calledKingsAgeX, available from userscripts.org. (Find all KingsAge scripts here)
It’s been downloaded close to 8000 times. That’s quite a spread! Note: a search for “KingsAge” on userscript.org will show 21 results….
The author seems to host his own blog domain over at http://www.axino.net/ covering topics on programming, operating systems, and KingsAge 
I decided to give this a go and found the following options are made available in the build context:
I dialled in my coords in the “XXL map” box and hit Show! This generates a 5 x 5 map, (your coords /map in center)
The result can be viewed here.
I specifically like the “Generate server map” option which stitches all [C|K]ontinents in to one beauty of a map in under 5 minutes….!!
s2.kingsage.org – legend
s2.kingsage.org – quick overview
Download the 1.83MB w2 PNG file here (5250 × 4746)
The author states that usage of this script is hard to detect, but may lead to an instant ban should a Game Operator find out (not verified). Seeing this script has been downloaded over 8000 times, would Gameforge instantly ban that many players if they could track its usage?
There’s certainly nothing illegal at running GreaseMonkey through FF in order to re-arrange data in your web browser to give you a better experience. userscripts.org (the repository for some 2.000.000+ GreasemMnkey scripts) bares witness. However the point is that some (not all) “features” in KingsAge’s “premium” (a paid for) account improve game play by giving access to more information. A free javascript will do the same thing and claw back valuable dollars.. For one, it seems to me that KingsAge needs to give it’s user base better reasons to pay for a premium account….
What do you reckon?
