Get on now damnit. Time to see what we can do. And... NO MORE SABOTAGE!

Post by: Lord Lanair on February 08, 2004, 06:20:35 AM
YAY!  I mean, maybe YAY!  And they have all the rankings.  The background looks the same, though.  LOL

Lanair, click my link in the fortress, and if you have yours, I'll clicky it.

everything looks the same as age 2.....is it just my imagination, or is age 3 simply age 2 with less bugs and a couple fixed gameplay issues?  :blink:

No sabotage, extra fortifications, mass attacks less effective, etc.

Although I've no idea what you're seeing; I haven't signed up yet.

You aren't missing anything. :P

I hope they have sab in the non-beta.  I like sab.  Also you only start with 1000 gold.

crap i signed up as an elf before i found out!!! i'm switching to dwarves


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: SS on February 08, 2004, 03:06:51 PM
Hmmm... do I stay with Elves and potentially make the game harder, or switch to Human? :mellow:
It is Beta, so perhaps they'll still balance the Elven advantage somehow?


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: matt_the_shark on February 08, 2004, 04:31:06 PM
dunno about you, but i'm staying human.  but with the lack of sabotage maybe the immunity factor is gone too...:unsure:


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: evilknight on February 08, 2004, 06:11:53 PM
well, if there's no sabatauge, then it stands 2 reason that there would be no immunity 2 sabatauge, as it is non-existent. also, after they get done with beta, someone tell me how it is, i might actually consider rejoining


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Saladin on February 08, 2004, 06:22:03 PM
I always like the beginning of an Age or beta because of the massive amounts of ranks you can jump


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: SS on February 08, 2004, 06:30:18 PM
Yeah, but I got no money or anything. :(

i meant immunity to regular spying...so it would be like the spies in age one.

Basicly, in the beta, Humans and Dwarves are the ones to go with if you want a bonus that'll work.

I'm talking about the people in TGA you coughing orc!


Title: BETA IS UP

AAAH a coughing orc! he is spreading diseases to kill us! run everbody run!..you know coughing people are scary :sheep: uhm..i dont belong here....*bounces away*


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Hornet on February 11, 2004, 03:25:09 PM

Orcs seemed to be the best race to play as in the last age.  Elves now have a massive disadvantage if sab isn't restored - and if it wasn't for my projects I'd have been squished a few times now.  Overnight, a grand total of 68K was stolen, which I needed for my dragonskin  :angry:.  Grr.  Once I get that, I'll hopefully be able to fend off overnight attacks.  There should be an option to do something with your money overnight, to try and mitigate it.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Biteme360 on February 11, 2004, 11:59:16 PM
i would have to say humans, because their bonus does not limit you to attack or defence, with orc or dwarf you can do more with less, but with humans you can just have more


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: smi256 on February 12, 2004, 08:33:47 AM
it's all in how you play


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Hornet on February 12, 2004, 10:19:30 AM
I lost about 113K last night, and a load of elves to boot.  I've adopted a strategy of staying low in the ranks (35,000) by not touching my weapons or covert areas whilst steaming my defence, but I'm considering rethinking that.  Would you advise staying low, or getting as high in the ranks as possible?  Bearing in mind that this is only the Beta, that is.

Edit: it's academic now - I've bumped myself up to about 5,000.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: diskreet on February 12, 2004, 06:30:45 PM
seems like a fine strategy.  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Hatred.891 on February 19, 2004, 01:02:57 AM
Humans reign supreme   :D  *looks around at all the orcs* Who wants a piece!  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Arkanor on February 19, 2004, 02:02:59 AM
LOL...no offense, but humans suck, and have since Age 1.  They are money farms, nothing more.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Biteme360 on February 19, 2004, 02:31:01 AM
we are? cause ain't nobody farming me


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Arkanor on February 20, 2004, 03:12:59 AM
Apologies... allow me to resay that.

Humans in the lower ranks generally are poor players, as the only race bonus they possess is an income bonus, making them more tempting targets.  However, a good defence will correct this misfortune, as demonstrated by Biteme360 in above post.  Should a human player's defence be sufficient to defend against most attacks, the income bonus will be less detrimental, and with the addition of more non-mercenary men will allow for quicker weapon purchases/repairs as porportional to amount of weapons and TBG.

*gasps for breath*


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Lord Lanair on February 20, 2004, 07:12:06 AM
So basically, if you use your TBG quickly, humans are good.  :D  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Goryous on February 26, 2004, 07:40:15 AM
I am finally back again. So, does anybody think the admins will add back sabotage? From what I have read it looks like this age will be heavily leaning towards attack. Thus giving orcs a possible advantage in the long run... :unsure:  ohwell, Humans will be the most common because of GOLD...what else?


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: underruler on February 26, 2004, 04:08:02 PM
OMG Hi!!!!!!!! Welcome back :)

I really don't think that they'll bring back sabotage (they should or everybody's gonna call a mutiny and attack them)  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: smi256 on February 26, 2004, 07:28:11 PM
some people say that it'll come back, some even say they got the info from admins, but that's throught the grape vine, so take it for what it's worth: gosip ;)


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: underruler on February 27, 2004, 04:52:15 AM
The admins prolly hate us so they want to make us angry.  WHY WOULD THEY TAKE SABOTAGE AWAY???

It was so great and yet...it's gone...*cry*


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Goryous on February 27, 2004, 05:09:11 AM
I'll tell you why..maybe anyways. Its that they went and attacked some people that had ALOT of gold and they didnt build up enough CA and the person they attacked sabbed them to the stone age. Then they got really pissed...?  :rolleyes:  Maybe they didnt think about hording knives to bank for spy skills or somthing. Just a wild guess but hey, maybe.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: underruler on February 27, 2004, 05:57:43 AM
*gasp* Did that really happen??

Oh I bet you did it... *gasp*


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Goryous on February 27, 2004, 06:34:17 AM
Well, I think the real question is did the person cry?  It may not have been the admin~guys in charge but one of their girlfriends or somthing...who knows. Chances are somebody close enough got wiped out and they finally saw how getting sabbed to the stoneage wasnt fun. I mean....we/most adapted working on banking knives and what not just to get sab proof. Those that didnt understand that and went all out attack like in age one got wiped out quickly. ALL attack trained, no defense, no CA in age1 was pretty good, age2 suicide, age3...who knows.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: underruler on February 27, 2004, 07:12:04 AM
Oh that would be awesome if they cried...I remember when someone sabbed me b/c I attacked him, but he was fairly nice.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Goryous on February 28, 2004, 03:05:01 AM
Maybe the admins hate elves and want to keep them down? LOL, we will know this is try if when age3 comes around they get NO BONUS FOR YOU! under the elf race name  ;)  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: underruler on February 28, 2004, 03:58:47 AM
Yea...pretty much elves suck right now but I like to play as one.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Hornet on March 03, 2004, 12:57:26 PM

The Elf bonus is pretty useless at the moment, I must admit.

Is it just me, or is the KoC site down again?

age 3 sucks, they should just reload age 1 again, age one owned


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Drifter1 on March 07, 2004, 04:08:13 AM
hurray for age 1.  u could actually play the game without having to be on it all the time :P  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 07, 2004, 05:46:03 AM
Ah, Age 1, where spies meant nothing, mercs were easy to get, and rabid pitbulls didn't exist. :D


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 07, 2004, 06:38:56 AM
and being all attack didn't hurt you.  in fact, it was better for the low ranked person :D


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 08, 2004, 05:18:12 AM
It was?  I never noticed.  LOL  


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: matt_the_shark on March 08, 2004, 05:51:08 AM
being all attack with a low army size was great because you couldn't lose much gold and you could pic on the bigger people since you could have as many weapons as you wanted.

oh, and i had 20 unit production.  it was easy to get that back then :)


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: LadyofLight on March 08, 2004, 03:11:54 PM
My biggest problem with KoC is that when you get down to it EVERYTHING is based on clicking.  There should be less emphasis on clicking and more emphasis on strategy, etc, cuz clicking is boring, plus it gives a huge advantage to those who have no life and can just click all day.


Title: BETA IS UP
Post by: Lord Lanair on March 09, 2004, 03:35:20 AM
But then would people play it as much?

Check out http://www.tkoc.net/login.html (http://www.tkoc.net/login.html) if you want more strategy, and NO clicking!  :D  


Title: BETA IS UP

hmmm, i've heard of that before but i've never actually tried it.  maybe i will this time :)

Not under me :P... everyone is equal, but 1 king gets a couple perks.  Nothing like KoC officers.  ;)

Ahaha. I gave up on KoC beta cause it got boring. >:o I can't let my account die though. Me and Errtu are still fighting over the oldest account things. xD

Maybe a couple of months, I think.

Really a couple months? I thought we were just approaching 2 :/ but anyway that's what I was kind of getting at.  It's been too long (you know too long that we've been able to establish a little war you know)
