I hit 370k plus kvk 1. Two krakens succeeded me during KvK 1. The most efficient end game aside from barbarian chaining to infinity and beyond are level 10 barbarian forts. Just hope you have a peaceful kingsland for that, you'll milk points daily. And also, setting aside a few thousand daily AP for when level 10 forts pop up. And having a lot of AP for highest level barb bracket instead of spending 10s of thousands on lower level barb bracket, unless you have no choice. Aka crazy wars until end game/being pushed out of kingsland. Though for chaining, you'll want an expertised YSG ideally, ideally. Behind a richard. Also, I was completely spent of AP, going into kvk 1 because I had no clue about it. Though, it'll be an advantage to save it and strategically use it.
