Browser and Recruiter Rules Any browser used to access the Kings of Chaos website must adhere to the following rules:
Recruiter: A methodical system of gaining officers, or soldiers, where participants click on each other's links. Retrieving links may be automated, partially automated or completely manual. All images must be clicked manually. Any such recruiting systems or "recruiters" must adhere to the following guideline:
Alliance Scripts All scripts created for Kings of Chaos website must adhere to the following rules:
All recruiters and tool developers must allow a Kings of Chaos admin a fully-functional test account to ensure compliance with these rules. If you are a developer and have questions, please email a Kings of Chaos admin. Kings of Chaos does not maintain a list of "approved" tools - updates to a previously-legal tool may make it illegal. Use of browser add-ons and tools is at your own risk. Failure to adhere to the above posted rules and guidelines may result in account suspension or termination. Kings of Chaos reserves the right to change these rules at any time, without notice. [ Return to Top ] GameplayIn Kings of Chaos, you are in command of an army of either humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, undead or hobbits. The aim of the game is to strengthen your army to attack other players and take their gold, raid other players to kill their soldiers or sabotage other players to destroy their weapons! Players are ranked so you can see how your forces stack up to everyone else. To build up your attack and defense strength, you must recruit soldiers and equip them with weapons. You may also hire mercenaries or train your soldiers. To recruit soldiers you must have people click on your unique link (you can find this in your Command Center). Each time you recruit an additional soldier, your attack and defense strength will increase slightly, as will the amount of gold you receive per turn. Also, for every two recruits each of your officers gets, you will receive an additional soldier! The number of officers you can have is unlimited, so the more people who sign up to be your officer the faster you can build your army. In addition to those soldiers generated by unique link clicks, you can choose to conscript soldiers - once a day you will recruit a number of soldiers determined by your current 'unit production' value. This value can be upgraded on the Training page. Commander Conscription is where you receive 'unit production' based on your commanders unit production. The higher their unit production the more you receive up to 7,680 unit production per 24hrs. To train your soldiers, use the Training page. Soldiers can be trained to be specialists in either attack or defense - whichever you choose, they will boost that ranking further, while ceasing to contribute to the other ranking. You can also train soldiers to become spies or sentries, which will be discussed in more detail later. In this case they cease to contribute to your attack/defense strength and the amount of gold you get per turn, as instead they are being kept in readiness for any covert missions you may choose to send them on. You can hire mercenaries on the Mercenaries page, but only up to a strength of 33.33% of your total force - so for every 3 normal soldiers you gain, you can hire one more mercenary. Mercenaries contribute to your attack or defense strength, but do not contribute to the amount of gold you gain each turn. Weaponry can be purchased (and repaired, sold or scrapped) on the Armory page. For each race there are various weapons available for both attacking and defending, becoming increasingly expensive as they become more effective. The exact strength of each weapon in your armory is dependent upon its state of repair (weapons become damaged during battles and must be repaired to remain fully effective), and also your level of siege technology and fortifications. Higher levels of siege technology and fortifications raise the strength of every single weapon you possess, so they are well worth upgrading. You can upgrade your siege and fortification levels on the Armory page. Covert Action is a general term for your Spy and Sentry ratings. Your force of spies becomes more powerful by training soldiers to be spies. Every spy you train increases your spy strength, and therefore helps you move up in spy ranking. Also, if you conduct many espionage missions spies will sometimes get caught, so you will need to replace them. If your spy rating is high, you will be able to see more players' gold on the battlefield without having to spy on them. Your force of sentries becomes more powerful by training soldiers to be sentries. Every sentry you train increases your sentry rating. The higher your sentry rating, the harder it is for other players to see your gold on the battlefield, spy on you or sabotage your weapons. If you invest in spies or sentries you should upgrade your covert skill when you can. Upgrading applies to your entire force of spies and sentries. Upgrading covert skill, training spies and training sentries can all be done one the Training page.
Each race in Kings of Chaos has a particular area in which they excel. These can work to your advantage in gaining higher rankings, so it is worth considering them before choosing your race:
If you are ready to start playing as commander of your own army, then click here to create an account! [ Return to Top ] Quick Start GuideOverview In Kings of Chaos, you are in command of an army of humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, undead or hobbits. To be successful, you must manage your army and defeat your enemies. You must keep your troops in top condition and recover from losses. A powerful army will be strong in all four aspects of the game: attacking, defending, spying, and sentry (counter-intelligence). This makes it important to keep your forces and efforts relatively balanced in all these areas. Recruiting
There are a number of ways to build your army and thus generate more gold and become more powerful:
Getting Started (Creating/Activating your account) To create an account and establish your presence in the Land of Chaos you must register an account. To do this click the "Register" link in the Menu Bar on the left, or click on one of the Join Humans/ Join Dwarves/ Join Elves/ Join Orcs/ Join Undead/ Join Hobbits button to pick your race. You will then need to enter a username, password, email (not required upon signup although needed to retrieve your login detals if you forget them) then click the recaptcha box to prove you are human and click Sign Up now. Once you've done this, you are ready to log in and command your army. Congratulations! You are now a Player in Kings of Chaos. When you have a KOC account and give your Unique Link to someone to click, the clicker will also be given the option to join your army as one of your officers! For every two clicks/soldiers an officer receives, you will receive one soldier. (Without doing anything! Just for being their commander! Sweet.) New Players As a new player your account is in protection mode. You are not able to attack or be attacked by anyone in the game, you also cannot send or receive ingame messages. The protection is lifted after 15 minutes, this enables you to have a look around the game, spend your start up gold, build your army by clicking on the recruiter (join the forum via the link in the recruiter to access a faster recruiter until we speed the crap out of our own), you can also conquest to gain experience which helps in the game. Get a feel for the game during this protection mode as once the protection on your account is over that is when the fun begins. Menu Bar The Menu Bar contains most of the important features and tools of Kings of Chaos. Located on the left of the page, it allows you to navigate through different aspects of your army and manage your forces. Command Center The Command Center is where you can see a broad outline of your forces.
Attack When you wish to venture out beyond the safety of your fortifications, click the Attack button. Here, you will view the Battlefield, a listing of other players ranked near you. If you have previously reconned a player, you will see an eye in the first column which will link you to your intelligence log when clicked. The amount of gold in a player's treasury will be displayed if your Spy Rating is much larger than the opponent's Sentry Rating. You can page through the battlefield and search for other armies to attack or spy on. Once you click on a player's name you will see their User Stats, where you can see basic info about the player, any officers the player has, and you can recognize the player as friend, neutral, enemy, alliance member, or ignored if you wish to ignore all messages from them. From the User Stats panel you can choose to send a personal message, or conduct an attack, recon, or sabotage mission.
Attack Log Here you can see details of incoming and outgoing attacks. This can be a very useful way to see how much offensive and defensive damage you do on average, who you need to try to get protection from, or what armies you have had success with in the past. In your attack log you will see Attacks on You and Attacks on Others, and you will be able to page through the attacks if there are too many to fit on one screen. Conquest To help improve the skills and strength of your soldiers, you may send your soldiers on conquests against various denizens of the Kings of Chaos world.
Conquest Levels To be successful on all conquests you will need atleast double SA strength to each conquest opponent's strength.
Armory Your Armory is where you keep track of your weapons, and keep them in fighting condition.
Alliances In the Alliance section you can create your own alliance or join another player's alliance.
Training
Intelligence Your intelligence files are similar to your attack log, but they give you details of covert missions from and against you. Here you see details of Intercepted Intelligence Operations as well as Intelligence Files from missions you have conducted. Not all missions are intercepted and therefore you will not see everyone who has reconned you or sabotaged you. Not all recons or sabotages done by you were intercepted either, this is called "ghosting". When no missions are intercepted, that player has been "ghosted". Trade Players can now utilize the Trade section to trade Experience for turns, instant soldiers, commander and race changes. The trade center is subject to change and could even see additional trades added. Safe Kings of Chaos now has a SAFE. A percentage of your turn based gold + your economy upgrade is deposited into your SAFE, you can also upgrade to allow more to be deposited into your SAFE. When you have the desired amount you wish to withdraw you can withdraw it to spend on weapons, tools and upgrades. Be aware that many will look to steal your gold when you withdraw it so be quick. There are a lot of theives in Kings of Chaos. Race bonuses are not included in the deposited gold. Statistics The statistics page gives players a range of ingame player orientated and alliance orientated stats. You can also view game stats as well. The statistics page is a work in progress and will be finialized ASAP. Recruit Recruiting is an effective way for you to build your army's morale, which eventually results in new recruits. When you recruit for another player by completing the CAPTCHA on the recruit page, your army's morale increases and they receive one soldier. When another player recruits for you, your army's morale drops, but you gain a soldier. Recruiting proceeds in this order: you, your friends, other members of your alliance, then finally any other users with positive morale (ordered by greatest morale). This means that the greater your morale, the quicker it will be converted into extra recruits. Only logged-in players can turn your army's morale into new soldiers. Non-logged-in friends can still increase your army size by clicking your unique link, found in your Command Center. Click here to learn how to use your Unique Link to gain officers Mercenaries On this page you can see the details of your current troops, and you can hire mercenaries. Mercenaries can be hired as attack specialists, defence specialists, or all-purpose troops. Once hired, they cannot be retrained. Mercenaries cannot be spies, and do not contribute to the amount of gold you receive each turn, but they do boost your attack and/or defence strength (depending on what type of training they have). Mercenaries become available for hire randomly and their numbers are limited so there are often none available shortly after that. You can only have 33.33% of your army consisting of mercenaries. Mercenaries are added to your total fighting force (TFF) and they have to die to lower your TFF. Buddy List The buddy list can be used to keep track of people who you recognize as either neutral, friend, enemy, ignored or alliance members. You can recognize players via the drop down on their stats page. You are allowed a maximum of 180 players per buddy type. (Hopefully that's 180 friends, not 180 enemies!) Logout The Logout option on the menu will log you out from Kings of Chaos. This is useful if your computer is used by more than one person, to prevent others from accessing your Kings of Chaos account. If you stop using the site for a length of time, you will be automatically logged out anyway - this is to help reduce the load on the extremely busy KoC webserver. Messages The Send Message page is accessed from a user's stats page, by clicking on the Send Message button. You are then presented with a page which has areas for you to enter a subject and a message to be sent to that user. When someone has sent you a message in this fashion, you will notice the message indicator beneath the main menu will change to show how many new messages you have waiting for you. To read them, simply click on the red number and you will be taken to the Read Messages page. The most recent message will appear at the top of the page, with older messages beneath it in reverse order of receipt. You can use the buttons on the right to Reply to or Delete each message. Recent Logs This box indicates when you were last attacked, sabbed, or reconned. Even if a player ghosts you the last sabbed still indicates when someone sabbed you. Experience per turn Players can now upgrade their EXP (Experience per turn). You can use the Experience you gain to trade for turns, soldiers, commander and race changes, SAFE upgrades, Econ upgrades and Tech upgrades. Daily Login/Activity Bonus Players now receive a daily login/activity bonus. Players will receive this bonus once per day, See below for bonus details.
If you fail to login consecutively your bonus resets to Day 1. Notes You can now store information about a player for future reference in the Notes Section of a Players Stats page. By simply typing in the notebox, you can store information, multiple notes or remove notes no longer needed. Only the player creating the notes can view/store/delete them so no one else has access to this information. Notes stored on a user will carry over from Era to Era unless you delete them or the player deletes their account.
