As more and more browsergames evolve to use social networks instead of the classic web promotion of games we at CE decided to shut down www.cetopwebgames.com

Dear CETWG Users,

Our goal at CE is to bring players and game developers the most fun and engaging exposure for games on the web.

Despite a strong community, the popularity of CETWG has declined significantly. We have decided to shut down CETWG and focus our efforts on bringing new and innovative websites to players and game owners.

As of today, CETWG is no longer available to new games and will not accept additional votes for listed games. To help us transition the closure of CETWG we are leaving this Page up until June 26, 2011.

Thank you again for choosing CE as your favorite place for browsergames and social games news, tools, hints, tips and guides. If you are interested to own the CETWG script, we will sell the base script for $25. Contact us for more info.

Sincerely,

CE Network

CETWG was in the scene since June, 2006. We received millions of players voting for their favourite games but helas at everything comes an end.

For those interested, we will sell the base script of cetwg for only $25. We can not include the games database nor the game owners e-mail database due to the data protection act.

Just use the contact form on this site if you are interested to buy the base script of CETWG.

The strategy game WildGuns brings the Wild West myths of smoking Colts and Indian war cries right to your browser.

• Developer:  Gameforge
• Format:  Browser
• MMOG Genre: Strategy
• System: Office-PC,  Internet browser, Internet connection
• Web:   www.wildguns.co.uk

Story

Under the lowered brim of his hat the cowboy‘s watchful eye ceaselessly scans the distance as his fingers twitch over his Colt, ready to draw at any moment. That dust cloud on the horizon – just a desert storm? Indians on the warpath? Anyone attached to his scalp has to remain alert at all times.

There‘s a raw wind a-blowing in the Wild West, and Cowboys, Indians or Mexicans alike – in the battle for land, resources and gold everyone pays the price in the same currency – sweat and blood.

In the Wild West browser game WildGuns you determine the fate of your settlement. Use your people‘s special abilities wisely and decide which will better help you on your way – the peace pipe or the warpath. In addition to increasing your sources of raw materials and developing new lands it is crucial that you capture the lucrative gold mines. But once the goldrush starts there won‘t be much time to secure victory. The race is on!

Features

• Sophisticated Wild West setting: Relive the colonization of the New World, the clash of different cultures and succumb to gold fever. Prove your worth as an experienced chief or clever sheriff. 
• Authentic Graphics: Watch and wonder as a realistic and stylishly drawn Wild West scenario complete with boisterous saloons and crackling campfires comes to life on your screen.
• Personal character preferences: Are you more the combative or the defensive type? Choose between Indians, Mexicans and Cowboys. Make your decision based on your preferences and your own individual style.
• Show true pioneer spirit: Follow your urge to explore new horizons. Expand your fort and capture poorly defended enemy positions. Improve the quality of your weapons and troops through intensive research.
• Interactive federation: Hundreds of thousands of players fight with you for the gold mines, either as allies or opponents. Ride alongside your partners into the great adventure or spy out the strength of your enemy‘s troops – just never forget to keep a close eye on your own defenses.

There will be no more naval blockades, instead both towns and harbours may be occupied. To gain full control you need to do both. In addition rebellions will be conducted without a wall which will put an end to the ’1 spear’ rebellion. The occupation will remain in place now untill the rebellion or ‘free town’ mission succeeds so it will no longer be possible to avoid double cost by queueing troops during a rebellion.

There are a number of other changes so for more details including the changelog look here.

Sea Battles – a guide kindly provided by Jasongra

There are a few things you need to remember on these

PWRs are not worth building very expensive and don’t help, Flames and Rams are a lot better.

Typical Fleets I use.

300 Flames

100 Cats

150 Dbs

This is a speed fleet, used to kill off small fleets you are attacking to get quick access to a port

Pros…. You can attack 2 towns at once, divide the fleet up and hit.

Cons… Damage can go against you if they have mortar ships, the flames and cats die in the battles

300 Rams

100 Cats

150 Dbs

This is stop the damage above, second row doesnt die against mortar ships

Pros… less second row lost

Cons.. upkeep higher and slower

Damage Fleet

300 rams

50 Mortars

150 Dbs

This is where the real action happens, your morale stays higher than your opponents if they dont wave and you do a lot more damage, a real attack force but expensive.

Pros… Big damage set up, morale stays high!

Cons… Slow and more expensive than the other fleets.

The Dbs are a minimum, I like to go higher and if you can afford it more front line Rams are also a good idea.

A few other points on attacking

1. Send in the rams/cats/mortars and 30 Dbs in the first round, wave in 30 Dbs for each round, their losses are a lot higher with waving in Dbs
2. If your moral is dropping quicker than your opponents, pull before it gets to 0% so you dont get scattered
3. If you have the miracle Hephaistos` Forge, use it! They lose 30 Dbs a round whilst you lose only 12!

And InnoGames should know better as they got their tribalwars engine stolen …

Anyway, the free to play with premium options to not buy yourself to the top is finished at InnoGames games. It’s now cold hard cash needed and players respect doesn’t count anymore. And even having staff members compete vs paying customers so they spend more cash (see mass exodus on grepolis topic).

Here is a recent complaint about their game WestWars, taken from their forums (before it gets deleted)

I think it is time to be discussed at a critical point in the game … Skills / gold!
The price is quite a joke … example to purchase 10 skills, increase the price of 1 gold
Today I bought 30 skills, my price was high, starting at 10 gold for a skills .. results were as follows: 30 skills = 10×11 + 10×12 + 10×13 = 360 gold

At lvl 1420, 30 skills are of no help, if I want to raise my Intelligence 1% will cost 66 skills …
Who want to play, if your skills are getting worse, even if you use a crazy amount of money on the game..??

Consider this example:
If I want to maintain my Intelligence of xx% will cost me 1000 skills to move from lvl lvl 1400 to 2000 ….. Who will do it, I will not, nor Bjarne .. We are good customers in your store, but we are not idiots !!

We pay YOUR SALARY, and without mine, Bjarne’s and certainly others players pleasure to buy gold, you get problems … The game will die slowly but surely!!

It is obvious that I have no strategy and common sense .. people without such skills will be kicked out of my company!
Come straight into battle Inno Games, doing something about the problem, otherwise the players disappear… no players, no money and no West Wars!

Yours Jakob aka Gun Jake

I have a copy of Bjarne’s email to Peter here, which shows that I am not alone on this:

Bjarne Tidemand
2010-08-31 23:54:19
Peter, i have two take this question up again!

I just talked with my friend Jacob Nielsen (gun Jake, no two in the world)
He told me that now, the price on skills, raise one gold for each 10 buy …

Have you considered, that it is not good business for Inno Games, for one simple reason.

When things get to expensive, people dont want to use gold, and they stop buying it!

Jacob just told me, that he bought skills, 10 for 12 gold 10 for 13 gold and 10 to 14 gold.
Calculate that, its allmost 400 gold for 30 skills!

So he will not buy gold anymore, and he has also being a big spender.

Continue like this, and the gold players will stop.
I have seen it before.

Set the parameter’s two half of it, that will be better.

Just my five cents.

Yours Bjarne aka El Bismarco

Elite Mission

The pages of history are written by the powerful and the cunning. Your fate within the history pages of Dawn of War rests in your hands. Go forth and prove your abilities as a commander.

The only way to compare all the units is to put them on equal footing. So I’ll be comparing them by Population.

Stat Comparison:

First what do all the stats mean:

- Duration(Changed to HP in Patch): This is the Hit Point value of the unit. A unit with a duration of 100 needs to take 100 points of damage to die.
- Attack vs: The value of attack vs a certain type of unit (land, sea, air or fortification). This is seen as “Vs Land” or “Vs Air” etc.. in game. Note: Vs Def has now been chaged to Vs. Fort in the patch.
- Defense(Changed to Armor in Patch): The defensive value of the unit. NOTE: Please disregard the Defense rating in the Chart.
- Speed: This affects how far a unit can move on the Field of Battle and how quickly it acts. (See Field of Battle and Initiative Order Comparison below for more details)
- Attack Range: How far a unit can engage an enemy from.
- Population: How much of your population a specific unit takes to build. Since building units uses your idle labour, once a unit is lost, your current population will drop to reflect that loss and will slowly grow again as normal so you can rebuild lost units.

The following are not compared in this guide:
- Load: The amount of resources a unit can carry.
- Food Consumption: How much Food the unit consumes per hour. This Food is not consumed if the unit is in transit. This Consumption doubles if the unit is Garrisoned outside the city.
- Oil Consumption: How much Oil a unit consumes when it’s dispatched. This Oil is only consumed when the unit is dispatched. No Oil is consumed if the unit is simply sitting in it’s home city.

Note: Units in the Damaged Troop Camp still count as active and thus will continue using up Food and Population till they are either healed or they die after the appropriate time has elapsed.

Now, as you can see, statistically Infantry are the best unit per Population when Speed and Attack Range aren’t an issue.

Ex: Infantry vs Heavy Tank.

Infantry have an Attack Range of 20 and H Tanks have one of 65. That’s not that big of a difference considering the movement speeds of both units so it’ll be a rarity that the H Tank will actually get a free attack.

1 Heavy Tank uses the same population as 7 Infantry.
Since 1 Heavy Tank vs 7 Infantry won’t be able to kill each other lets make it interesting.

10 H Tanks vs 70 Infantry:

Heavy Tank Platoon will have an overall attack of 400 and HP of 2350.
Infantry Platoon will have an overall attack of 700 and HP of 7000.

Sure the Tanks will get the first shot but it won’t help. The infantry will eventually win.

Of course once you get Attack Range involved it’s a different story.
Before I get into this I should talk a little about the Field Battle:

Field of Battle:
Disclaimer: This is theoretical still as I haven’t tested it with all unit combinations but I’m 95% sure it’s correct.

The size of the Field of Battle is directly related to the Longest Range available in the Armies (defense or offense).

Size = Longest Range + 2000

If you have Infantry vs Infantry the size is 2020.
If you have Infantry vs H Tanks the size is 2065.
If you have H Tanks vs SPG the size is 3500.

So, Rockets vs Infantry the size will be 5300. If the rockets stay on standby and wait for the Infantry to move in they will get 11 free attacks while the Infantry try to close the gap.

10 Rockets vs 120 Infantry:

Rocket Platoon will have an overall attack of 800 and HP of 1000.
Infantry Platoon will have an overall attack of 1200 and HP of 12000.

If I’m right about the field being 5300 wide, then the Infantry will take 11 rounds to get from one side to the other in range of the Rockets to finally be able to attack the Rockets. While the Infantry do have a lot of HP 11 attacks are sure to whittle that down by a pretty good chunk and in turn kill off many of them.

So basically, if you scout and find your target to have no long range weaponry, send in the hordes of infantry.

Cost Comparison:

So, using the previous example as a reference, we can see that the H Tanks will actually be faster to build than the Infantry while being about 70% more costly.

So not only are Infantry Statistically powerful but they are some of the cheapest units around. Their downfall is they take almost the most Time to build.

Initiative Order Comparison:

First, what is initiative order you may ask? Initiative order basically means the order of which unit will act first. Unit initiative is based on Speed. So not only does speed control how far a unit moves on the field but also how quickly it acts in the initiative order:

1. Motorized Unit
2. Truck
3. L Tank
4. H Tank
5. Armored Vehicle
6. Self Propelled Gun
7. Infantry

Also, the Defender gets initiative priority. So, if both the attacker and the defender were using H Tanks the defender’s H Tanks will move first.

I will update this with more information as more is available.
I’d like to actually get a Simulated battle between the H Tanks and Infantry to see how much of a difference there really is and also see how much of an advantage the Rockets have over the infantry if at all. This is all still theoretical using nothing but the stats for reference.
If anyone has any data to add please let me know.

Hello,

Teamplaying and working together has just become even more important in this new version of Tribal Wars, and today is the big day: Tribal Wars 6.0 is online now!

With this huge update, we have plenty of great new features for you. By introducing army camps into the game, we make teamplay even more important for your tribe. As a tribe, you can create army camps in any empty space on the map to use as a base camp near your enemies for upcoming attacks. When the camp is attacked, you will automatically defend it side by side with your tribemates. So as a team you can use these mighty forts to bring victory to your tribe.

Besides this, you can gain achievements on your own. From now on, we will give you awards for several different achievements, which you can show off to other players in your personal profile. This may be a certain number of points or a great battle victory. Sometimes, you may even get an award if you were extremely lucky – or unlucky. It does not matter in which period of the game you play, you will always have the chance to gain awards.

Furthermore, we have a special addition for premium account users: You can now play Tribal Wars on your mobile phone with an improved user interface. This works on iPhones and mobile phones running Android. All you have to do is to start your mobile browser and visit the Tribal Wars page – as you will see, the whole design has been adjusted for mobile browsing. It works just like a special Tribal Wars app. But since you can run it with your browser, there is no need to buy special software.

This is not all: There are several other updates and new features being introduced in this exciting new version. You can see details of these on your Tribal Wars forum.

All these features can be tested on our new worlds that have started today. We hope to see you there!

Electronic Arts has quietly resurrected one of the most highly regarded and important PC franchises of all time, releasing a beta version of a new Ultima game called Lords of Ultima.

Lord of Ultima is a free to play MMORTS developed by EA’s German-based browser game studios “EA Phenomic”.

Build your own individual and unique city in the harsh Middle Ages and build a mighty empire. You play with thousands of other players …

Lord of Ultima is a new browser game, which is offered by Electronic Arts. The strategy was developed with a medieval flair of EA Phenomic it has produced games such as the settlers, Battleforge and SpellForce.

At the moment the game is in the closed beta phase, so it can be tested only by a limited number of players. The Open Beta will have to wait, but probably not long in coming.

The Lord of Ultima, which is currently available only in English available, you will have the task of founding a medieval city, build a wall to provide security and to convert it to your little town in a thriving city.

You are responsible for the construction of defense facilities, including trade agreements with other players and you’re constantly looking at, of course, that sufficient resources available. Without resources you finally can build nothing.

Eventually, you’ll find that it too narrow in your city. Then you have to expand in Lord of Ultima luckily you will have the ability to integrate more areas in your kingdom. It is of advantage, of course, to have a powerful fighting forces, because not all areas can be conquered so easily. In Lord of Ultima you’ll get it done with other players who have only one goal: the most powerful Lord of all times.

This is a Beginners guide i tried to create and help share some of my knowledge of the game and hope there will be more better guide to help us all make a better gaming experience out of this one.
Enjoy and please help with comments and productive criticism to enable us all to understand better…
——————————–
Basic Beginners Guide to building your settlement
okay, this is from my point of view when you start even though i haven’t had much to read in the beginning from wiki but i basically used my previous gaming instinct and so far so good, talking about the building side here.

Beginning your settlement
==================
you start up with 6 swords and a no clue what to do or what to build but of you have played before similar games you will get the hint of it, but again every game has its requirements for building materials.
here in the beginning you need to focus on
-Wood
-Farm
-Warehouse
-Senate
-silver
-Rock
-Barrack
-Wall

I have placed them in accordance of priority, with some players it will vary but for a beginning that is what you need. Your settlement will require wood heavily in the first stages after that you will need to upgrade your farm to have more settlers to fill in gaps. You will notice that each island has a (+) and (-) for resource bonuses, which you can easily find when you hover your mouse over each resource symbol you will find it there, this indicates what you should expect to get more when farming Neutral villages or (NPC) and also it indicates to you which resource level you should upgrade more than the other.
Right now you need to level up your village to a state where you get least a not too bad income from resources, so this is how your village suggested to look like when you reach;

Up to 500 points
============
Wood = level 10
Rock = level 8
Silver = level 9
Farm = level 5
Senate = level 7
Barrack = level 2
City wall = level 1

Farming and Expanding your settlement
==============================
By now you should have a basic income of resources as well as a stage one settlement which upon you will be able to upgrade further and expand more buildings. Now comes the important issue you will face which is (Farming).
Apparently in the beginning you have no clue who to farm and you think you will find barbs and abandoned villas to farm, but here no. Inno games have developed a new approach towards the farming system to attempt and give a more or less realistic War sim game from which you will need to adapt yourself.
Now back to farming, as you see that you have few villas around you that I will call it (Neutral) because they do not belong to anyone and second you can not occupy it, they are there only to be farmed and Trade with when needed also it gives a possible offensive form if the Mood here changes, and that is another subject we will talk about later.

You start with your few swords and in the beginning you need more resources so you have to spend your resources on getting troops so you could do few important things here with troops.
1-maintaining the strength of the farming villas you are farming because the lower the strength the less resources you are likely to get depending on how many troops you send but an average 20 swords will lower the strength by (-4%) every time you attack, also the mood will change which you need to be careful never to attack if it is lower than 50% unless you have good offensive force because the neutral villas will attack back as defence.
2-Obtaining resources to upgrade your buildings further and build nor troops

Once you have gained 20 swords, you have 2 options
1-to split your forces into 2 groups of 10 each one will attack to strength the villa and the second one will attack to obtain resources so you are not wasting time on sending all of them to raise then back again to loot. The bugger part here is that another player might be already looting while you are raising strength so it is a 50:50 chance it happens, but you have to take risks if you need to get higher. or? but of course the more troops the better the percentage you will raise the strength with and also the more loot you will get but beware of the MOOD. keep an eye on it not to drop below a lower level like 50% or you face a greater chance to be attacked by the villagers.
2-Second option is to send your whole force and loot then send again and power up but it is also not always good depending on other players farming with you the same one.
A good hint here is to let your opponent if he is a Noob to loot till it is low and he will eventually loose troops and you have him trapped between he is low on troops and the farm belongs back to you to farm

500 to 600 points settlement
====================
Wood = level 12
Rock = level 10
Silver = level 12
Farm = level 8
Senate = level 9
Barrack = level 3
City wall = level 2
warehouse = level 5

continue to build troops and farm as much as you can just remember that silver is needed heavily to buy troops.

600 to 700 points settlement
====================
Wood = level 13
Rock = level 11
Silver = level 13
Farm = level 8
Senate = level 9
Barrack = level 5
City wall = level 2
warehouse = level 5
Academy = level 1

once you reach to that level you will have started to get a hint of the game and how to build and farm effectively but of course this is not all, there will be more to come once you reach 1000 points you will start to encounter more options and research options… but until then this guide should be a good basic to get you starting .

Hope this guide helps a bit and the more i get from this game the more i will share, so far there are loads of questions but we will get the hang of it sooner or later… trial by errors )

One more thing to add… like all war games you will get to choose a path
1-defensive with a mixed starting villa of both defensive and offensive with more def than off
2-offensive with more off than def for those who want blood shed

each of them choices will have a certain approach towards building and upgrades as well as research
whatever you choose it all depends on your position on the island and neighbouring islands
some players will say no wall before this or that before this, well like i said it depends on your position, if you are in the middle of the hot zone then you need to be ready to at least show them that you are not an easy target and if they get once resources from you they will always come back for you and it might cause you sleepless nights
Troops and more Troops is your survival guide )
Happy hunting everyone

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?

In the browser based online game, it is your task to build up a small Polis (Greek for town) to a huge metropolis, establish a powerful army and navy and finally conquer islands far away. On your trip to glory and honour, you should also take care of the gods of the Greek mythology: Zeus’, Heras, Athenes and Poseidons grace will decide about your victory or defeat.

The English version is currently in the open beta phase. You can sign up at beta.grepolis.net and help to find the perfect balance for the game. The official start is supposed to happen in January 2010.

How to make a chat for your alliance and/or your own alliance website for FREE.

First you need a Free Hosting Account which you also can use to put your own forum on.

The best part of all is that a free web hosting account does not expire! You can use it for lifetime if it suits your needs! We dare say that to some extend our free web hosting partner  is way better than even some paid web hosting services! So create your free hosting account Here

You would most likely also want a free domain name reflecting your alliance this can be done at co.cc

Follow the steps in the FAQ of your hosting account how to point your domain to your new free hosting account.

Once done read on how to upload files and to publish them.

Creating your own chat channel is the easiest part, go to http://ipocalypse.net/flash-chat-web-embed/ and create your channel.

Copy and paste the provided code into notepad and save as chat.html and upload to your hosting account.

If all works fine you will now have a yourdomain.co.cc/chat.html where you can direct your members to.

In part 2 we will look deeper into setting it up lets say a more in depth tutorial for beginners as the above is understandable for people with basic website knowledge.

Torpia is a web based browser game based upon the interaction of good and evil players. It’s based in the middle ages where troops still used swords and shields to attack others. It encourages interaction between players in the game more than any other game released in this day and age. It’s an exciting new game which incorporates both trade and fighting to create a successful game play. Evil and good players cannot survive without each other and need to support each other to win, as good players supply the weapons evil demands to create troops, and certain ores to create buildings.

In Torpia good players play a massive role of trade, whilst evil players take the fighting stance.

The main differences between Good and Evil:

• Evil players can create troops
• Evil players can conquer other evil villages 
• Evil players attract villagers automatically
• Evil players cannot create produce gold/iron ore, neither can they create weapons or items.
• Good players can create goldmines and iron mines which produce gold and iron ore 
• Good players can send resources by or items to good and/or evil players
• Good players can create weapons & Items (E.g. Shields, Swords, Coins, Planks etc)
• Good players need a chapel to attract villages at a certain point
• Good players cannot create troops, nor conquer villages.
• Good players can build most of their buildings up to 30, whilst evil players can only build up certain buildings/resource fields to level 20

A premium account is required for color coding. It’s used to organize your map to make alliances, individual players, or even individual settlements stand out. Here’s what your map overview probably looks like before color coding: 

There’s nothing wrong with a map like this, it shows your allies, NAPs, and enemies. Everything that is essential is provided.

But if you’re interested in the other alliances in or around your area, you might want to consider color coding, which can make your map look like this:

This is a color coded map. It’s organized into the alliances near my settlement, so I can see who’s where, and who’s a threat or not.

Now you know what color coding does. Now if you need help doing it for yourself, I’ll teach you how to do it.

Firstly, open up your Map. There will be a key at the bottom, showing the colors used for allies, NAPs, and enemies etc. At the bottom left from there you’ll see the option “Player:” Click that and you’ll be brought to a new window titled “Edit player’s colors”. Keep in mind the alliance(s) or players you’d like to add to the map. Go to “Object Type” and select the type object you’ll be color coding. Player, Settlement, and Alliance are the options. Let’s say you selected alliance. Now go to “Object Name” and type in the alliance’s tag. To provide an example, I chose to mark the alliance EoD on my map:

Click “Create” and it’ll add it to your map. You can add up to 10 alliances, settlements, or players to your color coded map. This is a vital tool for leaders and diplomats and warlords, as it helps strategize good tactics for your situation.

Diplomacy; it’s a very important word with a very misunderstood meaning in the game of KingsAge. Most top alliances in the game of KingsAge assign trustworthy members to deal with relations with other alliances. These members are often known as diplomats. But what exactly do these diplomats do?

I’ve been an active member in world 2 KingsAge since the beginning. and I’m here to share with you my thoughts, tips, and opinions on how to be a good diplomat. I’ll also go over some common mistakes that diplomats make, or general issues with how some people handle diplomacy.

Common jobs of a diplomat:
¤ Declaring other alliances as allied, NAPed, or enemy.
¤ Relays communications between other alliance’s leadership members and/or diplomats.
¤ Studies the way the world is running and develops a plan or idea on what actions should be carried out for the better of the alliance.
A good diplomat should always:
¤ Be active. If you’re not an active player, do not even bother trying to be a diplomat, it will only do harm to your alliance.
¤ Stay up-to-date with all alliances they are in relation with, including allies, NAPs, and enemies.
¤ Speak with respect. No foul language.
¤ Use proper, but understandable language. Try to limit, and possibly eliminate all use of internet acronyms, and definitely try and refrain from using terms like u and r as you and are. 
¤ Have trust in the other members of leadership in their alliance. If you don’t trust one another, it won’t work out, I guarantee it.
¤ Never act out in self-interest. This means don’t ally with an alliance simply because you’re near a few of them who are stronger than you. If decisions are to be made, it needs to be made for the better of the alliance as a whole.

Common diplomacy related mistakes:
¤ Unfortunately, some diplomatic discussions between two alliances don’t always end in agreement. When diplomats try and persuade another alliance into something, and the other alliance refuses, persisting after this point is usually never successful. 95% of the time it only leads to heated arguments, and ultimately war between the two of you, so remember: No means no.
¤ Diplomats sometimes get a rush of adrenaline when they first start out, do great at the job, and then the flame burns out and they get lazy on the job. So, make sure you don’t disappoint your fellow alliance members.
¤ Sometimes, diplomats feel that they are experienced enough to make major decisions without consent from their alliance leader(s). Uh-oh, you just declared war on that alliance ranked #3. You’ll get punished or demoted if you have a good leader.

General diplomacy tips:
¤ If you ever get a message from someone you don’t know, be sure to get to know everything you can about them as you possibly can by looking at their profile, looking at their alliance’s profile, etc. This will help you get an understanding of the person and what his or her alliance’s point of view and attitude is.
¤ Color code the alliances you have relations with. This will help organize your map and give you a better understanding of what’s going on near the members of your alliance. If you don’t know how to color code alliances, go here.

¤ Add some humor to your less-serious discussions with other alliances. People remember the messages with humor in it, and will likely choose to partake in a good relationship with that person over the one who sent a bland, dry message.
¤ If you notice your account is being sat quite often, you might be active enough to be a diplomat.
¤ A good understanding of the game and it’s aspects is a great bonus.

• Spying Mission – To do a spying mission you make an attack on a Town but use *only* spies in the attacking army. When on this type of mission *only* defending spies (no other units) in the target town will be able to fight your spies, if any of your spies survive the attack you will get a report on all resources, buildings and troops supported by that Town. Each spying mission requires a minimum of 5 spies.
• Scouting Mission – To do a scouting mission you add a number of spies to a regular army being sent to attack a town. If your attack succeeeds, then you will get a report on all resources, buildings and troops supported by that Town. Each Scouting Mission requires a minimum of 1 spy added to a regular army, more spies give more information in the spy report..
• Spying Defence – All spies in a Twon will automatically defend against attacks by enemy spies. To successfully defeat enemy spies attacking one of your Towns you must kill ALL of the attacking spies with your spies stationed in the Town. You need 2 defensive spies to kill each attacking spy. If you are defending against a Spying Mission, then your defensive spies are immune from death during the fight. If you are defending against a Scouting Mission, then your defensive spies can be killed during the fight.

This class is made up of the Squire, Templar, Berserker, and the Long-Bow. They also only require 1 settler to train.

Squire
Research at lvl 1 barracks. Principal raiders, they also have the strongest defense against cavalry and archers. This is all in terms of settler requirement to unit ratio. For example. 1 crusader requires 4 settlers to build an can only plunder 80 units of resources, while the same amount of settlers can make 4 squires which can carry 100 units of resources, downside is that they are slower then crusaders.
Speed, 18 minutes per field 
Cost in wood/rocks/ore: 20 10 30 

Templar
Research at lvl 1 barracks. Principal Infantry defender, in terms of settler requirements to unit ratio. Should be built if you are expecting berserkers to come crashing into your settlement. Couple with max walls Templar defensive force overpower berserker offensive force by a factor of 6 to 3.5. 
Speed, 22 minutes per field.
Cost in wood/rocks/ore:10 30 80 

Berserker
Research at lvl 2 barracks. Principal infantry attackers, in terms of settler to unit ratio. Actually these have the highest offensive force in the game, in terms of settler to unit ratio. However be careful to not let them fight a 1:1 battle against a heavy defended Templar force cause they’ll get massacred. Best to bring along Crusaders to crush any pure Templar defense.
Speed, 18 minutes per field.
Cost in wood/rocks/ore:50 40 50

Long-Bow
Research at lvl 5 barracks. Most neutral infantry unit in the game. They don’t have the destructive offensive force of the Berserk nor the defensive force of Templars. However use with caution becuase if they are paired against either one of its extreme counter part they will get annihilated. Best used as defense against rams, best ram destroying ability of the game. 
Speed, 18 minutes per field

Cavalry

This class is made up of the Spy, Crusader, and Black Knight.

Spy
Research at lvl 4 barracks. Can give detailed reports of enemy settlements, If all of the attacking spies survive you gain information about troops hiding outside of the defending settlement. Attacking spies can only be killed by defending spies, nothing else. That includes the fact that Morale, Wall bonus, Night bonus, and Luck have no effect on Attacking spies. To wipe-out an attack spy force you’ll need 2 times the amount of spies defending your settlement. Requires 2 settlers to train.
Speed, 9 minutes.

Crusader
Research at lvl 7 barracks. Principal cavalry raiders/attackers. These units are the fastest raiders/attackers in the game and have a respectable amount of loot carrying capacity of 80. However their main function is to work to destroy Templar defenses, or most defenses for that matter. They have the additional ability to minic spy attacks, which is an advantage for the skilled trickers players out there. Requires 4 settlers to train.
Speed, 10 minutes.

Black Knight
Research at lvl 16 barracks. Principal cavalry supporting defenders. These units should only be used to defend other settlements, this is due to cost and max settler restrictions on settlements. They can act as attackers however this act should only be taken if you are desperate and need the additional offensive force. Requires 6 settlers to train.
Speed, 11 minutes.

Siege

This class is made up of the Ram and Trebuchet.

Ram
Research at lvl 20 barracks. These units work to downgrade the levels of walls, making it easier for your troops to wipeout defenders. If there is no walls at the settlement they will simply take damage and return home. With all siege weapons all ways attach cannon fodder to absorb damage.
One trick is to use these to act as fake count attacks. Requires 5 settlers to train. 
Speed, 30 minutes per field.

Trebuchet
Research at lvl 25 barrakcs. These units work to downgrade the levels of the buildings inside a settlement. Don’t use these as count fakes, they just cost too much with respect to rams. Requires 8 settlers to train. 
Speed, 30 minutes per field

Count

Special Unit: The count.

Count
Requires Resident, Mint, and Ducats. These are required to take over settlements. Each attack from a count lowers the approval of a settlement between 20-35%. When the Count takes up resident in the new settlement it’ll disappear and you’ll gain control of an additional settlement. Best way to take a settlement is thru a train of counts attacking the settlement in very quick succession. Do remember that settlement regain 1% approval per hour. Also Counts can only move a maximum of 70 fields.
Speed, 35 minutes per field.
