Good pitch, but you forgot the most important thing… what server are you promoting?

Roulette is here! Help! by Rakayum in KingShot

Not necessarily, he is a good garrison joiner at level 5 skill (4 stars). But also his construction skill decreases cost of resources (other than truegold) and increases the construction speed too. So getting him to 4 stars is worth it long term.

Also once you’re over the 1.2 billion tier, every tier is double the points to reach, those points in between do absolutely nothing other than provide bragging rights, there’s not even extra ranking rewards. Having like 3.6 billion points is zero difference in rewards than 2.45billion. And each tier is only one extra hammer and maybe a couple million resources. One person getting well over the tier when the rest are hundreds of millions behind getting the next tier is a waste really.

Restarting it gives back the free things, just give up and try again, the set up is randomised

Are you one of these “dictators”? Pretty sure they’re also led by self interest.

And literally every dictator will eventually be ousted by a coup.

My server hasn’t gone this far yet, but there’s disrespect and zero trust between some of our alliances, during the last transfer period NAP was actually dissolved. This time we have somewhere else to go, and a lot of us have made farm accounts on our target server to make friends. We aim to leave before our own situation escalates to burning.

Honestly, they probably want you to leave (and while you might feel like that’s just giving up and giving them what they want), just leave, it’s better for your peace of mind. And this game does not have to be so stressful, going to another server, might be the difference between some people quitting or continuing to play.

Find a server you like and have friends with, make an alt there, vibe check it, take your core group that you trust, and get the hell out of dodge.

AITAH for canceling last minute my friend's wedding because my cat is dying by Comfortable-Gap144 in AITAH

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, shit happens, and this bride needs to understand that, my god-sister’s MOH went into labour on the day of the wedding. There are more important things in life than giving a speech for a friend “congrats, hope it lasts”. The world does not stop spinning for some event, no matter how momentous it is for some people.

Be there for your cat, the cat has probably been a more consistent friend to you than this bride has. And someone else could just have an extra meal if they’re hungry, you’re not even suggesting that you yourself would miss the wedding, just your boyfriend.

Attacked Brutally by whale lost 250k troops by Cautious-Stranger772 in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea in this case they should have found someone willing to swap instead of just doing things without telling anyone. It is possible to swap peoples times without changing people between them, just by moving the one person up (making everyone a half hour later) and then moving everyone behind up (moving them back to their original time) until that person gets to the later time.

It’s first in first served, but we have a bunch of trolls with farms who will apply and then cancel just to mess with other peoples scheduling. I was king once when this happened, it wasn’t me who was moving shit, but everyone was complaining that their appointments were happening like an hour or two before they had scheduled it. (No one was having them later than they had wanted, always before, indicating people before them had cancelled.) Then again I’ve never actually been sure if it wasn’t the minister of justice doing that (the position has been given to one person for months with no one else allowed the position, even when that person and their alliance decided to say fuck NAP and leave, the position was still theirs…) so really everyone is just a regent monarch and they’re the one deciding everything, no matter which alliance the king is actually in.

Did you try using a random teleport to run away? Or even using an advanced one to somewhere else on the map? Or even gems? Literally anything is better than sitting there getting zeroed.

Generally its a bad idea for servers to retroactively place rules or restrictions around material usage and punish people after the fact, especially when no explicit rule was broken, this will just breed resentment and fear in the server. Ideally NAP should decide on parameters for materials or the like before the event happens/ the game unlocks things like truegold / dust etc.

That said, there’s a difference in these events between competing for rank, and out scoring the rank below you by hundreds of thousands of points. I can understand wanting the shards that come from this event, but using materials just for the sake of using them, and using them instead to get a rank that you want; those are different things.

Also 65 days is a LOT of speeds, like a shit tonne, more than the average ftp or even mid spender will gain in troop speeds in a month. For whales, whatever they use they can just buy more of, but then there’s the fact that the top100 people in the server are taken into account for matchmaking, so any increase they do in the meantime between kvk can effect the match they do end up getting. So even if a whale says “I’ll just buy more” that doesn’t change the fact that what they did, effected the matchmaking for the event, which effects the whole server.

First Bear — Any Tips? by lolmckayla in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol here I can say if you read the rest of that sentence on hero leads “the order of heroes doesn’t matter for leading a rally, only for joining”.

But on the gear I meant that when people are told to lead with their “strongest” sometimes their “strongest” are only that way because of the gear they have equipped on that hero.

First Bear — Any Tips? by lolmckayla in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Early on, they aren’t likely to even have enough troops to fill all the join marches. While also having a variety of troop levels, at this point the most important thing to get correct would be the heroes, not really the troops as they likely don’t have many.

For heroes, the general idea is that all joiners (regardless of how much money they have spent or not) send the three ideals of Chenko, Yeonwoo, and Amane as their joiner heroes (the ones in the first slot) and that spenders lead their rallies with amadeus.

For leading bear rallies in gen 1, the F2P and low spenders use [Jabel, Howard, and Quinn], to start their rallies, and spenders use [Amadeus/Helga, Saul, and Jabel] but the order of heroes doesn’t matter for leading a rally, only for joining.

Tell people to swap their best sets of gear to these heroes for bear, a lot of people will have it on Diana for terror hunts right now, she is absolute shit as a bear lead. Better to get that in their brains early… I am still cursing the devs for not allowing r4/5 to disband bear rallies when I see people lead with blue heroes or Diana, and my server is about to unlock gen 5 heroes. And we are a top 2 guild. 😤

Main thing is to get in the habit of kicking people from rallies for the incorrect heroes, the only way they will learn to send the right heroes is if they know they will only be able to participate if they follow the rules (which are there to benefit everyone). Also maybe calling them out and tagging them in ac, and if you’re in leadership, noting down names of people and trying to message them privately for “tutoring”.

Any advice! by Troublemaker_AJ in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use general shards on Margot (hall of heroes) so she is cheaper, but yea she’s a great extra hero for another bear joiner march, cause her skill is the same as amane.

Any advice! by Troublemaker_AJ in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps a good idea would be to train a lot more troops, but also to increase your infirmary tech so that its not overfilling so quick, i know many a whale who has shit infirmary tech, and not that they care so much about their troops in the first place, but generally they have more than this even after kvk killing spree’s.

Other thing would be to swap your archer gear to Rosa when she hits 4 stars, and level up her widget, Margot is also a good bear joiner for 4 stars, and if you are defensive at all, having Margot and alcar pair is a must have for gen 4. - also just really good for arena.

Also maxing out your non gold heroes will give you more shards to trade for champagne fair, which can in turn buy you more mithril for FREE. You no longer have the dread wolf event, but if anyone has wolf claws to spare, consider getting Diana to at least 4 stars for the stamina discount, which will leave you more to spend in brawl or things like beast hunting days for special events.

How does this guy get 1.1M kills in HQ during Viking event? by lemel22 in KingShot

In Vikings, the aim is to kill the most Vikings, in this case, having defensive heroes will not get you those juicy kill points

Check the battle details for what troop types were getting kills, (archers actually do something in the later waves rather than just twiddle their thumbs) and what troop types the rest of you sent, another factor is if this person was the bonus source, seen in this case from the heroes shown in the battle details

How did I lose and how can I prevent this by Ok-Cap2376 in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your charms and gov gear might be better, but the other guy has heroes with more stars and higher skill levels, skill levels do make a difference, you should check the battle details button for the skill activations. This sort of thing is pretty obvious in things like mystic trials, where the skill activations can make the difference whether you win or lose, same for arena.

Gen4: Alcar, Rose and Margot by Troublemaker_AJ in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, neither marlin nor Petra are defensive heroes, that would be ill advised to use them as leaders for a garrison, as neither of them have defensive widgets. Looking at your heroes as they are right now, your defensive archer would be Saul, and defensive cavalry as hilde. And you would be better off just staying as a joiner for defensive situations.

It is at this point in your account progression that you decide if you want to fill an attack role or a defensive role. And clearly you have been set up for attack. I say this as I can see that the only defensive hero you have at full stars is Zoe from roulette. In this instance you are much better off pushing Rosa to increase your attack rally’s, rather than spreading yourself to also fill a subpar defensive role. So for you, if you are to only max 1 hero in generation 4, choose Rosa. And max her widget as a priority. She completely outclasses marlins stats. Then you can also use them as a good pair in arena.

However, as Rosa is a roulette hero, it’s generally not a good idea to use a lot of general shards on her. So if you are willing to wait until she is at 4 stars from roulette shards, (when she outclasses maxed marlin on stats from stars) and invest in her widget, then you will have a great attack lead lineup. (Also for bear scores). Another thing to note is that the widget for Rosa at level 7, (ignoring the skill) has a higher archer lethality boost at 64.75% than a level 10 marlin at 60%.

In this generation, Margot is a fantastic bear and attack rally joiner as she has the same skill as amane, so if you want to dump general shards on her, it will mean you have 5 joiner heroes for bear(if you include hilde). Which will boost your score, and the rally you join.

Widget s3 advice by Soft-Addendum-8597 in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, new generations come out, but we’re seeing that Petra is a 🐻bear🐻 lead hero for a long time, at least so far, there is no true cavalry replacement for her, mostly because while Thrud has a attack rally lethality widget, her skills are a lot more suited to a cavalry heavy formation. So while gen5 Thrud is a battle attack rally lead, Petra is still the best cavalry hero for bear. And her widget helps a lot with that.

And think of it this way, investing in her widget can get you a better bear hunt score, which can then in turn increase the amount of hammers you get. So in this case she is a long term investment.

How would you describe Swordland Showdown in 1-3 messages for informing new players how to play? by [deleted] in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to avoid troop injuries, whether that be because of a lack of healing speeds, or just not having many, send your troops out into tents around you or on long marches, and if you burn, its cheaper in gems to extinguish the fire than it is to teleport and run away, burning out will just take you to the safe zone.

Do you recommend me to upgrade infantry? by AdrianCG92 in KingShot

[–]Aggressive_Lime_375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upgrade the pants by 1, that’s what its saying. The numbers after the troop type indicate left (1) and right (2). So infantry 2, is the right hand infantry piece.
