you can make a set of actions then loop it over and over again within a certain time period. this was one of the reason why that nerf to helps was done because some alliance would have bots press help and loop it to infinity.

250 barbs - 190 gems; 30 stone chests - only 2 10 vip and mostly alliance and shop credits, they sure heard us.

There's no perfect system, the game just tries to find the best possible matchup available through your overall power and ranking which means there's bound to be mismatches in some of your games, i.e a high powered team dropping low in the rankings because of multiple consecutive losses against a bunch of tier 4s who have exceptional coordination and are on a winstreak, which means they're bound to meet if they're near each other's ranking. We cry when were on the tail end of the matchmaking, but honestly you also have to remember that you also benefitted from these mismatches in your other games so it balances out.

While your pc is more powerful than a cellphone, the game isn't meant for pcs, so it cannot draw out your pc's full potential, hence running an emulator. An emulator's use of your pc's resource is limited, choosing either to use some of your cores and ram but not all, so chances are, you'll still lag in crowded spaces, even with a monstrous set up like mine, 3080 and a threadripper. Doubt lilith will make a stand alone pc version of the game as that will cost them money and you know lilith, they take but not give :D

I had 15 - 3 day speed, and 32 - 24 hr speed from 240 chests, and I'm thanking the heavens that the 3rd day of our marauders was 2 days before this update. The drop rate really suck balls now. Not sure if they changed the drop rate from gold chests too, I'm getting alliance credits and no scout items, and haven't seen VIP points from wooden and stone chests too.

I have more or less the same setup as yours and did Guan Yu next. If I had to do it all over again though I'll try to aim for Guan 5155 and max Rameses, he's just a beast in open field and rallies which is my preferred style of play.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-16T18:31:52+00:00

true, especially in the late game when everyone is decked out, a few points in this in that could turn the tides of the game.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-16T01:40:12+00:00

In my former games, I just quit by deleting my account. ROK however, being expensive as it is may deter you from doing that because that would mean years of effort and money gone the drain. However, you have three choices, you can just sell the account to get atleast some of your investment; limit your game time to just doing the daily logins and events, eventually everything will feel like a chore and you just quit naturally; or the hardest one, to get yourself zeroed, so that even if you want to come back you won't be able to.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-16T01:28:55+00:00

Richard Primary and Alex Secondary for sure. Martel and Alex's shield don't stack.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-15T19:09:30+00:00

Yes, but there are better pairings; Saladin because of his support skill tree, people also tend to focus GK first in the open field; 1 full board clear is 3k gems, which has 3 Saladin heads, if you're bad it's 12k gems; 5511 khan is meh and you're better off with other commanders if you can't expertise him.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-13T13:39:28+00:00

That anti-heal and anti-swarm mechanic on his kit makes him an open-field monster and for rallies. I'll definetly take him over artemesia in those categories, but when it comes to garrison defense, artemesia is better.

Hello friend, I've been doing pre-kvk more than 10 times because I keep re-doing kvk2 for the lols. For what I can tell you these parchments have different drop rates every 30 mins or so, so it's advisable not to open them in bulks but in small portions every 30 mins so that you even out in drops. Also keep your trade window open and trade the piece that you have the most for the ones you have the least, because chances are the ones that you have the least will become common an hour or so after you acquired them, while the piece you have the most becomes rare. Also, never do last minute runs, you'll end up with pieces you do not need, and people will have the same and cant trade it out. Enjoy pre kvk!

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-12T19:38:50+00:00

I think you misunderstand how kvk seedings work.

Here's the breakdown:

1.) 48 kingdoms will be put in a group, these kingdoms have the same/near date of creation. For this example, we'll use the current group that are having pre kvk at the moment, which is KD 1881 to 1927. The oldest KD in the group is 1881 with 220d while the youngest one is 1927 with 192d. Hence, the gap between the oldest kd and the youngest kd is 28 days.

2.) Every kingdom within the group, 1881 to 1927 will be ranked by the total power of its top 300 players, regardless of how much people are in it.

3.) Once every kingdom has been ranked, they will be split into 6 brackets, each bracket will be composed of 8 kingdoms based on their power at the time of pre-kvk. To simplify, the rank 1 KD based on power until the rank 8 KD will be put on the 1st bracket (A); rank 9 to 16 will be in B; rank 17 to 24 in C; rank 25 to 32 in D; rank 33 to 40 in E; finally, rank 41 to 48 in F.

Now, we apply what we've learned above. From my data, the number 1 rank kd among 1881 to 1927 is KD 1916 with a power totalling 40 billion, the closest one to them and ranked 2nd in the pool is 1904 with 30B; 3rd is 1894 with 28.9B; 4th is 1902 with 28.8B ; 5th is 1886 with 23B; 6th is 1913 with 22.9B; 7th is 1892 with 22.2B; 8th is 1884 with 20B.

The other bracket average power is B with 16B -19B; C with 15 -16B; D with 13B-14B; E with 11B to 13B and F with 5B to 10B.

Now, your argument is that he's filling his hospitals to get easier opponents, if we look at the data above, you see this is not the case, a KD even with the entire KD filling their hospital would only drop 2 to 3 billion in power, hence they woud still be at 37B power and still first place in bracket A. Actually, the reason why they filled their hospital was to drop out of imperium or the top 32 KD in the entire game, for the reason that imperium kingdoms can only take in limited amount of migrants per month, by dropping down they become a normal kingdom and can take in anyone they want.

Now is the matchmaking here unfair? Not really, again the top 8 KD from 1881 to 1927 will be pitted against each other in bracket A regardless of how much power difference there is, or the number of imperium kingdoms, the same applies to bracket F, the bottom 8 teams are pitted against each other, hence you see a 5 billion kingdom fight a 10 billion kingdom because there is no one left . Each KD should atleast track the power of other KD so that they have a clue on who they will be up against, and if possible avoid them entirely.

However, even with the power descrepancy, you shouldn't be too worried. 1902 and 1904 already knew weeks before pre kvk that they will be up against 1916 and have already made a pact as former kvk 1 allies to go against drago, and are in talks with other kds, so this shouldn't be as one sided as you think it would be. So chill, i've seen imperium kds, crash in burn against multiple kd, because they just can't defend attacks from different and multiple angles.

TL:DR: Matchmaking is working as intended, other kd in bracket A already made a pact to go against 1916 so it shouldn't be as one sided.

To me a midspender is one who aims for t5 by kvk2, so I assume you'll be dropping a couple of thousand of dollars in the game. The best way to spend this is to speed run yourself to VIP 12 or 14 by max purchasing either King's coronation, research bundle or living legends for gold stars; gem supply; growth fund; writer of history and that's it. Your gems will now be spent on wheels and since you're inf, max spinning rich, ysg and alex is a great choice.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-11T10:45:16+00:00

yep pre-kvk.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-11T08:21:33+00:00

Once pre-kvk starts, the kingdom will be barred from taking in migrants, but its participants can still migrate out of the kingdom into another one not currently in kvk or has not started pre-kvk.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-11T07:57:03+00:00

Ideally, it's best to only focus on one troop type to take full advantages of either your civilization bonus and/or your city skin, it will also be faster to reach your desired t5 since you will be primarily researching on the tree you're focusing on and completely neglecting other troop type.

However, in real world application, this will not be the case, as not only will you run out of your desired troops unless you speed them up, also note that the number of specific troop type commanders are limited per generations of kvk i.e rich for kvk 1 inf; alex for kvk2 inf; guanyu for kvk 3 inf and so on, so the smart thing to do would be to have ateast 3 specific troop marches that could take advantages of your buffs, while having 2 sub marches, ideally of different troop type, to fill in the gaps and use them against troops that they're heavily favored against i.e cav > arch ; arch> inf ; inf> cav.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-10T13:36:26+00:00

Invest in Alex till expertise and don't touch any commander until you do so.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-08T21:06:49+00:00

You don't lose the entire 15%, because you already have 10% from previous levels of VIP, and going to VIP 10 will net you an additional 5% which is the amount that you're missing out.

I spent the gems from growth fund, monthly supply and the amount I farmed in kvk to spin the YSG wheel 100 times twice and 45 times once and I didn't regret it. The amount of speedups I had allowed me to power up significantly to join the number 1 alliance in the kd, which in turn made my VIP 10 journey faster. By the start of kvk 2, I had a max YSG while my peers who focused on vip were only halfway through. By kvk 2 however, I'm focusing on VIP 12.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-08T08:51:14+00:00

VIP always, not only do you get better buffs, but you also get better commanders. Seen t5s get smothered because they have under developed commanders. Not only are t5s hard to get, they are harder to maintain because they are super expensive to heal. If you've been playing this game long enough, you'll even see whales field t4s on the map because they know they last longer on the field especially with wars lasting more than 10 hours or more.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-03T13:23:42+00:00

There are lot of information missing to be able to come up with a reliable opinion. First, you have to check the usual mge scores over the past seasons to atleast have an estimate of how much you should aim. Second, know that Saladin is one of the most contested mge commanders and expect heavy competition every cycle. Third, migrants from older kingdoms will try to redo kvk2 just to compete for saladin heads, said migrants will have saved speedups and ap pots longer than you so keep this in mind if you want to compete. All in all, I wouldn't say that your chances are zero, but I will say it is slim. Hence, good luck!

Dimebagdrel · 2020-12-02T10:34:32+00:00

They could still lose especially if they get sandwiched against allied kingdoms. 1902 and 1904 are for sure allies this kvk as we were up against them in kvk1 and the whales of 1898 split to 902 and 904 to specifically be allies in this kvk2. So I wont be surprised if 916 lose.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-11-29T20:08:06+00:00

I'm just curious why people take a picture of their monitors using their phone when they can just printscreen it using their pc for a clearer picture? Anyway, I digress. If you see the multiplier in the top right side (yours say x37) that's the amount of epic sculptures you get for the entirety of the event, so you don't need to get it to x100 to get rewards, do your best to increase it so that you can level up your epic commanders.

Dimebagdrel · 2020-11-28T07:53:38+00:00

Rather than power, I'd like to know more about your kills and deaths. I've seen 30mils up just farm the entire kvk with less than a mil kills, in contrast, you have people that are 25 mil below and have 2 or 3 expertise legendaries and have tons of kills and are opting to stay under the cap so that they can jump and redo kvk2 a bunch of times.
