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

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?

CE Gamers Greasemonkey is a popular and powerful add-on to the Firefox browser that allows JavaScript script files to be run on any web page. This allows users to alter the client side page to aid with usability and to improve on the features that the page already contains.
The scripts are user created, normally with the intention of providing more information or reformatting of the already present information on a specific web page.
These types of scripts can be very powerful, but remain limited to the information that is provided by the server to the web browser.
Requirements
Greasemonkey is an add-on for Firefox web browser. Therefore to use Greasemonkey scripts you must also use Firefox. Firefox is the second most used web browser available is said to be much better then Microsoft Internet Explore for speed and security.
To download and install Firefox, visit this page: Get Firefox.
Once Firefox is downloaded and installed. Download and install the Greasemonkey add-on: Install Greasemonkey.
The add-on will prompt you to restart Firefox, don’t worry, Firefox remembers the pages you where visiting so in most cases this page should be available to you once you have restarted Firefox.
GameForge and InnoGames
Some scripts may not be verified by Gameforge or Innogames. This might be due to it not yet being reviewed by a Gameforge or Innogames developer or because they have not approved the script. This does not mean the script will be harmful, but means that for one reason or another Gameforge or InnoGames do not want users using the script. Furthermore, it has been know for Gameforge to approve a script for use on one language server, but deny that very same script on another.
It is impossible for Gameforge or InnoGames to know who is using a illegal script on their games, however, users that choose to gain from the benefits of such scripts, do so at their own risk.
A list of approved and non approved greasemonkey scripts can be found in the dedicated game categories on this site.
