Throne Room FAQ

2012-02-29T21:09:00.000-08:00

Throne Room FAQ

First, you can acquire Throne Room items from any attack, such as wilds, barbs, dark forests, and in PVP combat. Many can be found in wilds of all levels. For instance, over 200 items were found by attacking a level 4 grassland for a few hours. However, the higher the level you hit the more likely you will gain upper level items.
You find out in your battle report if you found an item. Then, you can access your Throne Room in the tab next to your City, Field, Map tabs (where the Court tab used to be). The Throne Room is not a separate building, but instead a portion of your kingdom, just as your fields and city are.
When you open your throne room, you can click on Inventory to see the items you have. On each item, it has effects listed on the card, which tell you what that item does. This is important – the grayed out effects do not apply to that item. It seems that those are simply there to indicate what the card can do at a higher level, which you are not able to obtain at the moment (but may be available in future releases or from finding the same card with at a different level). The only effects that are active are those that are brown color.
Throne room items come in 6 quality levels: Simple, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Wondrous (with simple being the most common and least useful, and wondrous being the rarest).
- Simple items have no purpose to you, other than vanity. Salvage these and take the free aetherstone they give you for salvaging a throne room items.
- Common items have 1 effect you receive.
- Uncommon have 2 effects.
- Rare have 3 effects.
- Epic have 4 effects.
- Wondrous have 5 effects.
To equip an item, you can click on it. Two options will come up, Equip or Salvage. At any time, you can have 1 item of each type equipped. From what I see at the moment, there are 5 types right now: Chairs, Banners, Windows, Tables, Advisors. There may be more coming.
After you have accumulated some items, you need to decide which items to equip. Read the effects for that item, and look for ones that you feel will benefit you and create combinations of the 5 different types of items to maximize the effects you want to provide yourself.
You are limited to having 60 throne room items in your inventory. So you must make decisions on items to equip, which to keep in inventory for equipping in the future, and others to salvage. You are given 3 rows to have access to the items in. Also, you can only access the items that are not grayed out (are in the active rows). You can purchase more rows for gems. The next row cost 2 gems, then, if I remember the order correctly, the next was 6 gems, 9 gems, 11 gems, 15 gems, etc… So, if you want to be able to manipulate more items at once (equip or salvage), you will need to spend gems, but again, this is not necessary (you can receive free gems by completing a few of the free gem offers). While you cannot move items around in your inventory, you can shift them by salvaging others, thereby moving other items into your active rows from which you can equip items.
For now, I recommend salvaging all Simple and Common items and focusing on Uncommon, Rare, and Wondrous. Of course, you can look at the effects of those and salvage some of those too. For instance, if you are set up to only produce ore, you obviously have no need for increasing your stone production.
Next, you also have the options for Presets. You can access these by hitting the Stats tab in the Throne Room. You are given 2 Presets to begin with and can obtain more for gems. These presets allow you to quickly shift between Throne Room strategies. For instance, you can have a Preset arranged for attacking and one for defending, or one for training troops or producing resources. There are many options you can choose of course. You can manipulate your presets by clicking on the Preset number you want, then going and equipping particular items for that Preset.
In addition, you will be able to see the throne room items that your opponents have equipped when you review scouting or attack reports. This has not yet been implemented, but will be soon. So, you will be able to formulate your attacks in anticipation of what they may have equipped (they can always change things around before your attack hits, though).
Lastly, some random things that I have noticed people asking about so far include:
What is a debuff? – that is intended to reduce your opponents attack or defense values. These are always negative in number and help you by hurting your opponents. While, the positive effects help you directly.
Why are some effects grayed out? – as I mention above, those do not apply at your items current level. Only focus on the effects colored brown, for now. I will amend this guide as the feature changes.
Does higher level wilds/DFs/players increase the chance of a better drop? – This is currently being tested. It appears that higher level attacks increase the rate of dropping. But, I am not sure how it influences rarity of items. I tend to think that higher level will increase your likelihood of rare items, but have no data to support that claim at the moment.
Which items should I equip? – That really depends on what you are trying to do. If you are attacking, apply ones that benefit your attacking skills. When you are not attacking, have items applied that increase your defense, resource production, and troop training.
What does +0 on the item name mean? – That is the upgrade level. For now, everything is at +0, but in future releases, they will give us the opportunity to upgrade the item to increase the effects received.

Glory FAQ's

2012-01-29T14:31:00.001-08:00

Glory FAQ

What is Glory?

Glory is a new score that allows you to show off your skill in battle and see how you stack up against other players. It is determined by your success in PvP encounters.

How do I gain Glory?

Glory is gained by fighting other players. The total amount of Glory gained per battle is determined by a few different factors. First, offensive actions are weighted more heavily than defensive actions. This means that you will receive more Glory from attacking another player than by successfully repelling an attack. Next, the amount of Glory gained is relative to the amount of Might that you remove from your opponent. In other words, the more Might that your opponent loses in a battle, the more Glory you will gain. Finally, players who attack opponents with higher Might will gain more Glory than those who attack players with equal or lesser Might. There is no reward for picking on the little guy. Attacking players with significantly lower Might than you will provide no Glory.

How do I know how much Glory I have gained from a battle?

The amount of Glory gained from a battle can be seen on the resulting Battle Report.

Can I gain Glory from reinforcing an ally?

Yes, a portion of Glory can be awarded to the reinforcer. The amount of Glory gained is relative to their contribution. For example, if the reinforcer provides all the troops that defend, then that player is entitled to all the Glory.

Can I lose Glory?

Yes, Glory currently resets to zero for all players every week (although this is subject to change from time to time). You can’t rest on your laurels! You will have to stay active if you want to remain on top.

Can I show off my Glory?

There are a few ways to track your Glory. First, it is always viewable in the main gameplay window next to your current Might.

You can also show off your highest level of Glory ever attained through an icon that appears in the chat window. Once you hit certain Glory milestones, you unlock these special chat icons and they display next to your name to show other players your highest Glory achievement.

There is a persistent Glory leaderboard, located in the same area as the Might leaderboard. Here, you will be able to view the top Glory scores among all of the players in your domain and see whether or not they are doing better or worse than their standing from the previous week.

Also, all Alliance menus have Glory scores so you can see how your Alliance ranks among your allies and rivals.

Do I receive any other rewards when I gain Glory?

When you gain Glory, you have a chance to win an item. The likelihood of receiving an item is determined by the amount of Glory earned in combat and upon the difference in Might between you and your opponent. Your odds increase when you gain large amounts of Glory and attack players with high Might.

Dark Forests FAQ (Updated 11/3 with Crafting Information)

2011-11-19T18:43:00.001-08:00

Q: What are the Dark Forests?
Camelot is in turmoil! There are strange happenings all throughout the Kingdom and people continue to disappear, leaving no clue as to where they might have gone. Now, with Guinevere kidnapped, Arthur has called his Knights into action! But is it too late? The world is being ripped open and mysterious and vicious creatures are entering our world from beyond. The manifestation of these vile creatures seems to coincide with newly-formed geographical anomalies- the Dark Forests. These evil, seemingly impenetrable locations house incredible challenges for even the most battle-tested inhabitants of the Kingdom. Defeating the creatures within the Dark Forests may be the last hope for Camelot.

Q: How do I find the Dark Forests?
The Dark Forests appear in Bogs all over Camelot. Search your map for Bogs to find those that have been transformed into Dark Forests. Ridding Camelot of the Dark Forests may be difficult as it is rumored that when one is destroyed, another one opens somewhere else mere hours later.

Q: Are all Dark Forests the same?
No two Dark Forests are the same. Each contains a different assortment of creatures for you to battle.

Q: How do I triumph over a Dark Forest?
To dispel a Dark Forest, you will need to defeat all of the creatures that inhabit it. This is done in the same way that you would attack a rival city. Locate the Dark Forest on your map, click on it and then click “Attack”. Choose the attacking Troops, apply boosts, select a Knight and march your army into battle.

Q: How does combat within the Dark Forests differ from elsewhere in Camelot?
The creatures within the Dark Forests are a new threat to Camelot. Battling them is unpredictable and emerging victorious with little to no losses is extremely unlikely. That being said, certain troop types are better against certain foes and it will take experience to determine these factors.

You’ve probably noticed that your troops have a ‘type’ associated with them in the troop training modal. These types (infantry, ranged, horsed, siege, defense) will be used in the Dark Forests to determine a ‘trumping’ effect. Generally, infantry trump horsed; horsed trump ranged; and ranged trump infantry. All three of them trump siege; siege trumps defense; and defense trumps infantry, ranged, and horsed. Likewise, your foes will have these same types.

Lossless combat is impossible in the Dark Forests; powerful cultists, dangerous monsters, and the encroaching corruption of the Dark Forests themselves make them inherently deadly places to venture into. Never the less, coming to an understanding of the type of foe you are facing will help you determine which troops to send and how many over time.

Q: Will I be rewarded for defeating the monsters within Dark Forests?
Yes, dispelling a Dark Forest will earn you several rewards- a vast amount of Gold, a chance for an item (including premium items such as a Divine Providence or Divine Inspiration, for example), experience for your Knight and Aetherstones. Furthermore, repeated victories may provide valuable intel on how to deal with future Dark Forests.

Crafting

Q: What are Aetherstones and what are they used for?
Aetherstones are a new resource in Camelot, with a unique use and purpose. They are typically earned by defeating Dark Forests, but you can also loot them from the cities of other players via combat. A large number of Aetherstones, when combined in your Fey Spire, form more valuable and versatile stones that you can combine with other items to craft new, more useful items. There are a limited number of Aetherstones that can exist at one time, so if Dark Forests ‘run dry,’ you may need to resort to attacking other players.

Q: What is a Fey Spire?
The Fey Spire is a new building that you can build and upgrade in your cities. The Fey warlocks that reside inside can help you combine your treasures to make new items in a process known as Crafting. A higher level Fey Spire unlocks new crafting recipes which will allow you to craft stronger items.

Q: What is Crafting?
Crafting is the ability to combine certain resources and lower-value items into higher-value items. By following item recipes in your Fey Spire, you can command the Fey warlocks inside to attempt to create a better item. Simpler items are easier to create, however-- the stronger the item you’re attempting to create, the greater the chance that the crafting attempt will fail. If the attempt at crafting fails, you may lose your items, or in some cases, be awarded a small consolation item. Acquiring Insurance for your crafting attempt will ensure success.

Q: What are recipes, and how do I get more?
Recipes are special combinations of items that, when followed, allow you to attempt to craft new items. Building your first Fey Spire will unlock the first series of recipes, and more powerful ones will be unlocked as you upgrade your Fey Spire to higher levels.

Q: What is Insurance?
Every time you attempt to craft an item, there is a risk the attempt will fail, and you could lose the items. Stronger items have a greater chance to fail. Purchasing insurance on your crafting attempt will guarantee success. Your insurance purchase is only good for one crafting attempt.

Q: What kind of items can I craft?
Horns, combat boosts, defense boosts, and way more are all possible crafting projects. You’ll need to level up your Fey Spire to unlock the more advanced recipes!

Q: How do I craft items?
When you click the Fey Spire in your city, you will see a menu that allows you to select a recipe, and the option to act on that recipe based on whether you own the necessary ingredients or not.

The items necessary to proceed are displayed above each ingredient in the recipe display, along with the quantity of those items you currently own. Notice the “Chance of Failure” section. The chance of a crafting attempt failing is higher when crafting stronger items. Insurance can also be purchased on this screen, which will guarantee success for your crafting attempt. To proceed with your crafting attempt, click the blue “Craft” button.

When your crafting attempt is successful, a timer will appear and run until crafting is complete. If your crafting attempt fails, no timer will appear, and your ingredients are lost.

Q: What is a consolation item, and when do I get one?
The smaller icon in the middle of the crafting menu is that recipe’s consolation item-- not every recipe has one. If your crafting attempt fails, you’ll receive the consolation item. If your attempt is a success, you won’t receive the consolation item.

Viand Kraken FAQ

What is the Viand Kraken?

The Viand Kraken is the brand-new Water Guardian.

What are the benefits of the Viand Kraken?

The Viand Kraken provide two great benefits. First, it will increase the Food production within your City. Also, it decreases the march time of your Troops. The Food production bonus will apply to any city that has unlocked the Viand Kraken while the decrease to march time will only apply to cities that have the Viand Kraken active. The Viand Kraken must be at least level 1 in order to receive either of these bonuses.

How do I get the Viand Kraken?

Similar to the Weald Fenrir and the Iron Indrik, you will need a special item to unlock this particular Guardian. In this case- the Deluge Rune. You will need one Deluge Rune for each city in which you wish to summon the Viand Kraken. The Deluge Rune is currently available exclusively in the Fey City Premier Package on Kabam.com.

Fey City Is Coming Soon!

2011-11-10T18:23:00.001-08:00

The Fey have reemerged as a driving force in our world; a fragile alliance has been forged between Merlin and Morgana. For the sake of Camelot, for our way of life, and partly to spite Merlin, Morgana has channeled her magical resources to Arthur and his noble Lords and Ladies. The Fey magicks that have gained prominence in the fight against the Dark Forests have allowed us to keep the strange beasts at bay, for now.

Magic, once prevalent throughout the Kingdom, remains a rare resource controlled by few on behalf of many. Once hidden in the shadows, the Fey are everywhere now. Fey spires are seen across the land, armies fall in search of Aetherstones, and the emissaries of the Fey travel from city to city searching for...something. The earth remains stubborn in its verdant grasp on Arthurian cities that once bustled with activity. It is rumored that Merlin has been lost in the depths of his own memories, combining his ancient knowledge with Morgana’s, to aid Camelot’s Lords and Ladies in reclaiming their cities from the enchanted trees and vines that caused walls and buildings to crumble. In times of conservation, retrenching, and cautious hope, how can we regain our collective strength?

Only by reclaiming the Fey cities of Camelot can we hope to rebuild our Kingdom, to be great once again, to be a source of magic...and might. Fey City is coming soon!

What Will These Aetherstones Bring?

2011-10-29T20:02:00.000-07:00

Struggling to find allies in this world, something to restore the balance between good and evil, dark and light. The Dark Forests claim many a knight; soldiers fall in unison, in great numbers, before the dark beasts within. In my travels I have heard stories; Aetherstones, more powerful monsters and weakening kingdoms. The wind blows rumors of a new war coming to Camelot, one that will pit knight against knight, even as we take our Kingdoms back from the Dark Forests. A time of unification, marred by squabbling.

Tournaments Of Fright

Dark Forests Have Arrived in Camelot!

2011-10-06T16:23:00.000-07:00

Oct 06, 2011

Rise up and rally your armies, the first dark insurrection against our world has begun! Doors to another world have begun opening themselves into this domain, and creatures from the other side are pouring into our realm!

Rumors and whispers swirl of the ways the dark armies will attempt to destroy Camelot. For now, they gather at the gates to their world, and we must halt the spread of their forces at any cost!

If you are able to defeat the devastating armies inside, attacking these Dark Forests may prove to be highly rewarding. Be warned, however: These soldiers fight unlike anything ever before seen in Camelot, and conventional battle wisdom may prove ineffective against them.

Unsure of what the Dark Forests are, or what they mean for Camelot? Read the Dark Forests FAQ for more information, and the best of luck to you and your Kingdom during these dark times.

Inventory Issues, Updates, and FAQ's.

2011-08-13T02:10:00.000-07:00

Aug 06,2011

Kabam and the Kingdoms of Camelot team wish to sincerely apologize for any difficulties we have caused our loyal players in the last 1-2 days. We made a mistake when trying to fix a significant bug in the game and that mistake negatively affected innocent players.

Kabam and the Kingdoms of Camelot team are working around the clock to make things right. We are currently addressing this issue and have reached out to those players impacted by our actions.

If you have any questions or concerns, we’ve prepared this FAQ to provide more detail. To receive live updates from the team as we work on this issue, please subscribe to our official forum thread.

Again, we are sorry for any issues or distress this has caused our community. We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue. We know that we would not be here without your business and your loyalty, and for that, we are extremely grateful.

FAQ
Q: What happened?
A: We discovered a significant bug which allowed the gifting of items that were not designated as free gifts (or even meant to be in the game at all). In an attempt to rectify this issue, and to keep things fair for all players, we attempted to remove the wrongly gifted items from players’ inventories. In the process of removing these items, we mistakenly removed legitimate items from some players’ inventories as well.

Q: Who was affected?
A: This issue primarily affected those players who accepted an item that was incorrectly gifted during the last 48 hours. All affected players should have a message from Kingdoms of Camelot in their in-game Messages with more information. This message was sent to approximately 70,000 players.

Q: What has been done to address the issue so far?
A: The team has been working hard behind the scenes to make things right. Here are the steps we have taken so far:

    We’ve restored specific players whose inventories were affected by our mistake, to the state they were in as of August 4th 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
    We gave all affected players a Divine Evocation.
    Everyone who logged in on August 4 or August 5 (U.S. Pacific Time) has received a gift of 100 Gems.
    In addition, for those players who purchased Gems on August 5, 2011 (U.S. Pacific Time) and who were affected by this significant bug, we have doubled the amount of Gems they purchased. (For example, if you purchased 500 Gems on August 5, you should now have an additional 1,000 Gems in your account, along with an in-game message detailing this credit)

Q:What's left to do?
A: Today, Saturday, August 6, 2011, we will continue to make things right by crediting affected players’ inventories back with the items that they purchased in the Item Shop on August 5th (U.S. Pacific Time). Players should see these items in their inventory by the end of the day today (U.S. Pacific time). We will send affected players an in-game message with more details after the credit is completed.

We are also giving more free items away to our loyal players as a token of our appreciation. Log-in Saturday or Sunday (August 6 - August 7, U.S. Pacific Time) and you will receive a free Divine Inspiration and Obsidian Rune on Monday, August 8! Check out the our Forum more information: http://community.kabam.com/forums/showthread.php?30356-KofC-Login-Event!-Get-Yourself-a-FREE-Obsidian-Rune-and-DI!

Q: There are a lot of rumors going around about how Kabam has been treating affected players’ accounts - what is true and what is false?
A: Kabam is not charging players for these items which were wrongfully gifted. In our attempt to fix the bug, we mistakenly eliminated "innocent" inventory from a number of players’ accounts. We messed up, and we're owning up to it. We are replacing the mistakenly eliminated inventory, plus providing affected players with additional compensation for our error.

The version of the FAQ linked to on our Forums will always have the most up to date and accurate information for players about this issue.

Q:What if my account is still incorrect after today’s fix?
A: If you are still experiencing issues with your account after today’s resolution, please contact customer support by clicking the in-game Help tab and the Contact Us links on the Support page. Please be as specific as possible as to which domain you are having issues with, what your player name is, and what exactly was lost and one of our team will assist in resolving your issue.

Q:Where can I go for more information?
A: The team has been working around the clock trying to restore these affected players’ accounts, and will continue to do so until we have made things right. To receive live updates from the team as we work in this issue, please subscribe to our official forum thread.

Guardian Switching FAQ

2011-08-13T02:01:00.000-07:00

Q. I’ve already leveled up my old Guardian to Level 10. What happens to my progress if I want a new Guardian?
A: Your old Guardian will keep its level! If you summon a new Guardian in its place, the new Guardian will start fresh the first time it appears, and you will be able to level that Guardian up, too. You can switch back to your previous Guardians and they’ll still be at their old level.

Q: Do I need to deconstruct or destroy my old Guardian?
A: Nope! You can simply switch Guardians without deconstructing.

Q: I want a new Guardian in each of my cities. Will one Rune unlock the new Guardian for all of my cities?
A: No, a Rune will unlock the new Guardian in just one of your cities. You’ll need one Rune for each city where you want to unlock the Guardian.

Q: What happens to the boosts I got from my old Guardian?
The resource boosts you received from previous Guardians are permanent and will still be in effect! Troop boosts, such as HP or Attack boosts, are dependent on whichever Guardian is active in your city at the time. Choose wisely which Guardian you want as your active one!

How to Switch Guardians

1. Click your city’s Guardian Tile, which may already have a Guardian on it.

2. Your Guardian screen will open, with the information and upgrade options for the current Guardian at the top. At the bottom, you will find a section displaying your currently active Guardian, and giving you the option to "Unlock" a new one.

3. Click "Unlock". (If you don’t already have a Rune at this point, the game will give you the option to purchase one.)

4. Now you’ll have the option to “Summon” a new Guardian. This is the action that brings the Guardian to your city!

5. The summoning action takes a few seconds, and a short timer will count down. Good magic takes time!

6. After the timer finishes, your new Guardian is ready to use! It’s now time to build your new, Level 1 Guardian.

7. Next time you switch guardians you will not need to “Build” again, nor will you need to purchase another Rune. You can switch between the two guardians by returning to this screen and summoning your preferred Guardian.

Patch Notes 08.04.11 - Ore Guardian!

2011-08-13T01:32:00.001-07:00

The Rise of the Iron Indrik

The beast rises from the mists at Merlin’s call; glowing orange magma drips from its jaw, and it stretches its metal arms as it takes in its new environment. Merlin nods his approval, coughing lightly at the sulfuric steam venting from this creature of living lava...

Gazing up at the Iron Indrik, Merlin knows that his work is not quite done - there are other Guardians to summon. He can feel them stretching against the walls of their restraints. Merlin shrugs, and steps around the small arc he etched into the summoning stone. He chuckles again and recedes into the waning shadows…

Morgana stalks down the winding stone stairs of her crumbling tower, again cursing Merlin’s name. She closes her eyes and casts a spell. When she opens her eyes they glow a deep scarlet as she stares into Merlin’s next steps.

Leaning back from her vision, Morgana smiles. She senses that Merlin is distracted with his work; he is unaware that such evil is threatening Camelot’s rolling green hills, that an army of unspeakable darkness approaches its walls. The corners of her mouth curl up in a wide smile, her sharp Fey teeth showing. She knows how best to hurt him.

Having Trouble Seeing Game Chat?

July 19th 2011
Message from Kingdoms of Camelot :

We’ve become aware of an issue where some players can’t see the bottom portion of their Kingdoms of Camelot game screen, which could be interfering with chat. This is due to an issue on Facebook’s end.

If you’re among the affected, we’ve found a couple workarounds that seem to work for many players. Check out our Knowledge Base article for more information, and keep up-to-date with the very latest on this issue by checking out the thread on our forums.

Knights Unavailable Update.

2011-07-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

Jul 13,2011

There is a known issue with our most recent game update that limits some players’ ability to select Knights for marches. This issue happens when players double click the “Resume Raids” button in their Rally Point.

The team is still investigating this issue and we hope to have a fix soon. As a temporary workaround, we will be restoring players stuck in bad states so they can access their Knights. This change will be rolled out slowly across all worlds and all affected players' Knights should be unlocked in a few hours.

Until a more permanent fix is deployed, please avoid double-clicking the “Resume Raids” button. Double-clicking the button will lock your Knights and make them unavailable.

We apologize if you have been impacted by this issue. The team is working around to clock to restore normal game play.

Patch Notes: Barbarian Raids!

2011-06-30T18:58:00.000-07:00

Patch Notes 06/29/2011

New Level 11 buildings are now available in Kingdoms of Camelot! Now you can upgrade your Storehouse and Embassy to Level 11 to gain extra bonuses. Level 11 Storehouses protect up to 5 million of each resource and Level 11 Embassies allow you to accept 11 waves of reinforcements!

You can also check out the Barbarian Raids Guide in the forum for more information. Collect more Food, train larger Armies, and gain more Might!

Game Performance Enhancements

A small number of players are causing excess traffic and degrading the experience for all players on their domain by overloading our servers. To help combat this issue, we have released a system that will increase game performance by requiring players who are overloading our servers with excessive march automation to type in a set of letters to verify they are actually a human player. These players will continue to receive these messages periodically until they reduce their march rate.

This will only affect a small percentage of players. If you are below this threshold or sending out marches with Barbarian Raids, your game play will not be affected.

Other Fixes:

Fixed some instances where certain players were unable to accept gifts
General performance and stability improvements.

Barbarian Raids Guide

2011-06-30T18:53:00.000-07:00

Step by Step Guide on how to use the Barbarian Raid

How to set up a Raid:

1. There are 2 different methods you can use to set up a new raid:

Select “Raid” after clicking on the Barbarian Camp of choice. (Located along Scout and Attack)
Go to your Rally Point, select the “Barbarian Raids” tab, then click on the “+ Add Raid” Button.

2. Both of the above options will bring you to the “March Troops” modal, similar to that when sending out a normal march in the past. Here you need to select the amount of troops you wish to send and select a Knight to lead the charge.

3. Click “Raid and Save” at the bottom when you are satisfied with the raid and you’re all set! Make sure to check the “Barbarian Raids” tab within your Rally Point to check on the status of your scheduled raids.

Important Information:

    Barbarian Raids will march continuously towards the desired Barbarian Camp. You are guaranteed to get a full yield from these camps, even if you aim all of your raids towards the same camp.

    You are not required to remain inside of Kingdoms in order for your troops to continue barbing! Scheduled Raids will continue to march on their targeted Barbarian Camp even if you exit out of the App!

    In order to ensure that your raids are continually running, you will have to check and restart the Raid Timer at least once every 24 hours. Simply click on this button within the “Barbarian Raid” tab in your Rally Point to continue your raids for another 24 hours.

    Raids take up a Rally Point march slot regardless if they are currently out marching or in any other state. You will have to delete one of your raids before you can send more troops out. Once that march has returned, then you can set up the raid again.

    The "Auto Delete Battle Reports" option will be checked as default when the feature is rolled out. You can change this setting by deselecting the setting box on the Raid modal. Players will not receieve Raid Reports when they are not logged in to the game, and all Raid reports will be deleted after three days.

    Make sure to send enough troops to suffer no or minimal losses if you wish to take advantage of the stop raiding killswitch that will kick in if you lose more troops then your current setting (default is set to 100%, so any raid will end if your troop count drops below your initial troop numbers assigned to that raid).

    Barbarian Raids can only be set to march on Barbarian Camps. You cannot schedule any marches on player cities or other Wilds using this feature.

    Barbarian Raids will march at a minimum of approximately 3 minutes, even if you Raid camps that are close by.

    Barbarian Raids can be asked to be stopped while Raid is running, and will stop once Raid is returned to your city.
