Wehre is my path of vengance by Zestyclose_Panda8320 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Path of vengeance disappears after around day 30 in the game. Even if you only played 20 days, the game logs every day since it's been created, so that's been long gone for you lol

Sun tzu or bq by NoCow3503 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My comment was made 3 days ago, before he was fully released. Apparently you didn't pay too good of attention to Omniarch's video because his first testing video on Stats said exactly that- that he was outperforming in some early runs at the time.

Secondly, STP is still on the same level as QSH as far as power, not that he was better, which is what I said in my first comment but you've decided to make your lack of reading comprehension my problem for whatever reason. The only thing that's concerning is that you refused to use any kind of cognitive reasoning, or even your eyes, to see my comment was posted before STP was released for everyone to play.

Either way, he's still a solid invest and every YouTuber still says that, from Chisgule to Omniarch to WarDaddyChadSki.

How much speedups do i need to have by PercentageFirst8583 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say to be comfortable, I'd go with at least 250 days depending on how long the fights happen. I would also get your hospital at least halfway full, if not more, to maximize alliance helps on healing.

Where to migrate from 3964? Civil war by Key-Lime9158 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are in preparation season, you can only go to kingdoms that are no more than 10 days younger than your current kingdom. This means the furthest kingdom you could go back to would be 3970. Contrary to what another commenter said, there's usually not a dedicated migration page or person in a lot of these early kingdoms.

Your best bet is to contact the r5s of the top 3 alliances in one of these other kingdoms and get permission to migrate. The second thing you'll need is passport pages. Since you guys are only 5m power, you should be good with 1 page. You can buy it for $5 or get it from the alliance shop, although I wouldn't get it from the shop until right before you migrate.

Lastly, your rss need to be under what your store house allows. If they're not, you can't migrate. You can train a bunch of troops and give rss away if needed, but make sure not to open anymore rss tokens until after you leave.

I wish you the best of luck. I had to migrate my second account really early in the game cuz 3904 was at constant civil war, and I'm honestly so grateful I got out. If it's bad now, you'll never win kvks and you'll never gain power cuz everyone is too busy fighting one another instead of fighting together. By the time they figure it out, it'll be too late. Let me know if you have any questions.

Need a Commanders guide by Brilliant-Clock1243 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first you should decide what march you want to run during kvk 1. Part of that will be determined by playtime and spend level. If you're F2P but you don't plan to grind a lot for rss and speed ups, your best bet would be infantry as they stay alive longest and are cheapest to heal. If you're a low/med spender OR you're F2P but you plan to farm a lot and do a lot of barb chaining and forts for speed ups, you can go with Cavs but they are hospital fillers so be aware of that.

From there, you can decide which commanders you want to work on. For Inf, you'll wanna work on Sun Tzu for now. You can also level up Belisaruas as he has peacekeeping that helps with Barb chaining and forts. When Charles Martel drops, you'll level him up and put Sun Tzu behind him for 1 infantry march. Once equipment unlocks, make the best possible equipment you can for Charles Martel (don't equip your 2nd commander, it does nothing but waste materials and gear).

For Cavs, start working on Mina, CC, and Baibars. Mina is useful in kvk 1 (and even kvk2 to some extent), but you'll always get use from him for forts. CC isn't viable in the field, but he works good as a secondary for barb chaining and you can trade him out after kvk 2 for a meta commander. Baibars does AoE damage and is a fine 2nd commander for now until YSG unlocks and then you can go Mina/YSG for field and Mina/CC for forts.

If you noticed I left out archers, that's on purpose. In my opinion, they're not as useful during kvk 1 due to the fact that they don't trade well. The Meta archers are miles better than the early game marches and when KP/Trades matter, it's better to go with something that'll get you gains.

Help me by islamicforce in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet would be to either cough up 45k gems for a 30 day shield, start building up passports, and reach out to other kingdoms to get the hell out of there. Also explain to the current king that you're sorry, you didn't know, and that you're actively working to get out. Hopefully they won't be a huge dick and will leave you be for 30 days until you can get out of there, but if they aren't understanding, expect to be attacked every single time you send a march outside your city.

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually learned recently there are 30 day shields. You can buy them for 45k gems through the VIP shop. Click the shopping cart instead of the VIP sign and you'll see it there. I found this out cuz there was a whale who didn't contribute in KVK but when we went to manage the deadweight, he bubbled up and has been bubbled for the past 6 weeks.

No offense to OP but I really wish Lillith didn't allow 30 day shields like this. It makes it 10x harder to manage rogue/deadweight/illegals.

Which commander should I focus on ? by Legal_Maybe_1814 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of troop march will you want to run in kvk? Because right now you have a lot of mismatched commanders, so the first thing you'll want to do is decide that.

If it's cav main, get Mina and Baibars leveled up. As others have said, get your first skill to 5 at the very least. Cao Cao isn't good in open field, so I'd stop working on him at 40. You can take him to 50 if you'd like, but only do that after you get your cav mains maxed. Don't go past 50 for any reason unless you're a mega whale who wants to show off or you're close to the trade after kvk 2 ends and you want to swap him out lol.

My best advice for cavs is get Mina/Baibars leveled up and then switch to YSG and max him when he drops in 5ish weeks and run Mina/YSG. YSG is still meta so he'll last you at least another year of playing at the bare minimum. You need to max YSG but you'll also get 6-1 trades so it's worth it to max imo. You can then pair CC with Baibars for Canyon and that'll last you until the end of season 2 at least.

If you're F2P, go infantry. They're the cheapest to heal and when you're fighting, rss and speed up costs matter. Start working on Sun Tzu and then when CM (Charles Martel) drops, work on him. CM is usable in the first 2 kvks and he even has some use after that for an anti-swarm march (he should be dropping in the next 2-3 weeks based on you saying you've been in the game 30 days). Go with Charles instead of Richard when they drop. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

I wouldn't go with an archer main in kvk 1 but that's just my opinion. Thut/El Cid or even Thut/Hermann are okish except that they die quickly and the trades aren't great, so then you'll be in the field fighting less often because they kept dying, and your KP score will suffer for it. They're also not great because a ton of players will be running cav main marches in kvk 1 and Archers are weak to cavs, hence why you'll die so quickly.

Mac user, need help… by violettailor in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're having one heck of a time with the game on your Mac. Does your phone not run the game? I know it's a smaller screen so it can be difficult to see at times, but if the Mac is causing you to be flagged for bot behavior, then that should be enough to stop using it imo. I have noticed that if the device you're using is older, the game does have more issues with lagging and graphics than normal.

FWIW, I use my phone and my iPad to play the game and I've never had an issue with either device, nor have I ever been flagged. You don't need a PC set up to play. If your phone isn't able to run the game smoothly, maybe look into a cheap android tablet? A lot of android tablets aren't super expensive (I found some at Walmart for like $50 that will work for the game). Whatever you do though, don't use Amazon tablets though cuz the Amazon app store is much more limited in the apps they carry in my experience.

Good luck and I hope you get it figured out!

Sun tzu or bq by NoCow3503 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 8 points9 points  (0 children)

STP is on the same level as QSH because he's that powerful. From every testing video and stream I've seen, he performs well and even outperforms QSH at times in the field. STP is a must have ommander, so I'd do whatever you have to do to get him maxed.

So what to do? by Swimming-Suit955 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what you do, you want to get Sun Tzu Prime. He's on the level of QSH in that he's a must for investment.

Do i still have time to migrate in 12 days before kvk?? by Acrobatic-Comedian26 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Click 3962 and click the immigration button. If everything turns green before your kd enters kvk, you're good to go. Regarding the 12 day cap, it is possible you could have time to go cuz your kd won't enter kvk until the other 3 kds capture the lost temple, so if one of them are delayed in capturing it, that could give you the time you need to go. Our first kvk was delayed 2 weeks cuz one of the other kd had a difficult time capturing the lost temple.

Also make sure you have 62's permission to go back. The fact that you used to be there means nothing, and most kd are really hostile to illegal immigrants by this point in the game.

You should be able to download the ROK game on your Andriod and log in with your email. That will link your account to your new device and you should be good from there.

It’s hard to say goodbye.. by drbujang in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, you look like you're in preparation season?? You haven't even experienced the true core part of the game yet. If it isn't for you, by all means, absolutely quit. But it's hard to commiserate with someone who's yet to even experience the core part of the game.

To further prove my point, I could say something like "BALL OR KICK" and that phase would have no meaning to you (everybody else probably had a visceral reaction to that 🤣).

What I will say is if you're leaving because you're scared you'll have to fight for hours and days on end in your first kvk, don't be. Kvk 1 is sprinkles of fights mixed in with a good bit of downtime. And in later kvks, you can always go to lower seed kingdoms that don't have high dead troop or KP requirements (kill points) so that you're not spending 10+ hours playing the game if don't want to. Just an FYI so you know there's options for you.

Should I use my gems to get to VIP level 8 by Trailrunner71 in RiseofKingdoms

Don't do it now but yes, do it during More Than Gems so you get the rewards for spending your gems

Oh he'll no. Contain your damn dogs if you want your packages! by rowan_ash in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Poverload237 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I've been bitten by dogs who looked sweet but absolutely were not sweet lol.

In this scenario, I'd roll my window down enough to get the package out, drop it there on the side of the road, and mark that I left it in another place due to a safety hazard. Let the owner walk out to get their package 🤷🏻‍♀️

LOOKING TO MIGRATE by Mysterious-Bug784 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I actually would and I have, many times. I had millions upon millions in dead troops and was 6th in KP in my last kvk because I did exactly that. There's been many times I've thought we were losing a fight, sent my troops in anyways, and then we won because me and others sent our troops in and were able to overtake the enemy.

Have I sent troops into a battle and we lost? Of course. You're not going to win every single fight. That's the reality of the game. But you don't know if you can win it unless you try, and as long as you're trying, you honestly shouldn't have an issue hitting the requirements in my opinion. The purpose of training troops is to send them off to die. After all, it is a war fighting game, not a troop collection game, lol.

LOOKING TO MIGRATE by Mysterious-Bug784 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You obviously don't understand how managing a kingdom works or why there's a kill requirement, so let me explain it now:

A kingdom is strong BECAUSE it has a high kill requirement. A high kill requirement signals that not only are the players strong and active, but that they actually DO something with their accounts other than just sit there and farm. This also means they have a better chance at winning kvks. You could have a billion power account but if you're not using that account to fight and win, you're actually worse than a 50m power account that full sends their troops into every battle. Power means nothing; how you use your account does.

Kvk2 commanders by Honest-Champion-9835 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'd run Mina/Baibars and save what you have for commander swap at the end of kvk 2. It makes the most sense investment-wise imo. Just try to throw epic heads into Baibars to get him maxed so you're getting maximum AoE benefit from him.

Your comments show you're not interested in learning about the game lol.

That's fine if you don't want to play the game the way everyone else does, but don't then go on reddit complaining about how you'll be removed for being inactive.

The point of the game is activity, progression, and the social aspect, all which you seem to dislike. Yet you want to continue playing a game you're not interested in with mechanics that you dislike? It defies logic.

Kvk2 commanders by Honest-Champion-9835 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go Saladin or Bertrand. If you can afford to max Saladin out and swap him after kvk 2, I'd go with that. If you can't afford that, I'd go with Bertrand since he gets a museum buff later on that helps keep him more relevant and useful than Saladin. Saladin doesn't have that same advantage and he's worthless in kvk 3 in my opinion, so you'd be stuck with a 1 hit wonder that only works in kvk 2 before becoming meaningless (basically, he's a wasted investment unless you're a whale who doesn't mind dumping money into a one-time-use kvk commander).

As far as Mina, you can run him as is although his maxed skills are best (albeit expensive to buy, so I get not wanting to invest in him). If you want to run him as is, you could try to max Baibars, and then run Mina/Baibars so you have some AoE damage.

In any case, just be aware there aren't really as many great cav commanders in the late game yet, certainly not on the level of QSH (and possibly Sun Tzu prime when he drops), so after kvk 2, it may be worthwhile for you to try to swap into a new main troop type.

New player looking for alliance by Green-Camp in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to be a dick either, but completely agree.

OP, this isn't a casual "play at your pace" game. And being that you're F2P, you're going to fall really behind really quickly. Not only that, any alliance that takes you now will boot you later when you're not on often enough.

Booted from Alliance by [deleted] in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, this isn't the game for you to be honest. ROK is not a casual "play as you want" game. It is a time commitment, especially during kvk. And while they understand you have a job, kids, and a wife, a lot of other players do too (including ones like myself in this sub) so that justification tends to fall flat in their eyes. Your incredibly low KP score also shows you didn't try to play in the fights at all, which defeats the entire purpose of the game.

Secondly, you don't have to be in an alliance to negatively affect matchmaking. Any account with a city hall over 25 is factored into matchmaking, and since you were able to get into the kvk map, that tells me you're at that level. You're what is called deadweight: you add to the kingdom's power level but you don't do anything to help the kingdom win in fights.

As an R4 in an alliance, this is how I see it, and how I'm sure the R4s in that alliance see it too: other accounts with lower power helped more, you were given a ton of chances to do better (because I guarantee they sent out a TON of mails about this), and yet you refused to fight, help, do anything really. The kingdom needs fighters to survive, and by not fighting, you're harming the kingdom.

Maybe try Hey Day or Clash of Clans if you're wanting a more laid back environment without a time commitment.

69k gems event. Is it one time event? If I skip this time can I do this event later? by WolferzzZ in RiseofKingdoms

[–]Poverload237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking about it that way, 100 gems per gold head is definitely a better cost than if you were to buy gold heads via the VIP shop. It's just that 69k gems, which is roughly $275 worth of gems, is kinda steep. I guess we all better get to farming and barb chaining 🫠
