Gameplay

In Kings of Chaos, you are in command of an army of either humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, undead, trolls or goblins. 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, sabotage or revenge 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 have the soldiers to do so. Soldiers per Minute upgrades will help you to gain soldiers, you will also take hostages when attacking which you can then heal. The Hostages you heal will then become untrained soldiers. You may also hire mercenaries or train your soldiers. You can also trade experience for soldiers on the Trade page. Each time you gain an additional soldier, your attack and defense strength will increase slightly, as will the amount of gold you receive per turn. 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 alliance.

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 Training page, but only up to a strength of 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 Upgrades 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/revenge 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.

• You will need 2-1 spy to sentry ratio to see their gold on the battlefield and vice versa for sentry details.
• You need 1-3 spy to sentry ratio to be able to successfully recon a player.
• To successfully sabotage/revenge sabotage a player you will need 1-1.5 spy to sentry ratio. ie. if you have 100m spy you can sab up to 150m sentry.
• You can now recon a player 30 times per 24 Hours.
• Sabotage attempts are now maxxed out at 10 attempts per 24 Hours.
• Revenge Sabotage attempts are now maxxed out at 4 attempts per 24 Hours.

• Buying weapons/tools on the armory page will use vault gold first and any available funds left over to distribute your funds how you have your armory prefill preferences set.
• Amount of weapons/tools you can buy with Available funds/Vault gold is now displayed correctly.

Poison

How Poison works:-

To poison other players in the game you will need to train poison personnel that you will find on the Training page called Venomweavers at a cost of 4000 per unit, you will also need to purchase new poison tools that are available in your Armory under Poison Tools that will increase your Poison Rating. To increase your Poison Rating you will also need to upgrade your Poison Skill on your Upgrades page.

Poison has 10 upgrade levels, below are what personnel can be poisoned as you upgrade each level as well as how hospital works.

• Level 0: Only kills untrained soldiers.
• Level 1: Kills all mercs types.
• Level 2: Kills attack soldiers and defense soldiers.
• Level 3: Kills spies and sentries.
• Level 4: Kills serpentwardens and venomweavers.
• Level 5: Kills thieves and rangers
• Level 6: Unlocking this level kills hostages and unlocks the ability to send extra personnel to the hospital.
• Level 7 through 10: Will only increase the kill ratio and the hospital explained below.

The ratio of kills and personnel sent to the hospital depends on your upgrade level. The troops that are sent to the hospital are removed from the targets personnel and can only be healed by sacrificing serpentwardens. The amount of serpentwardens needed to heal depends on your Antidote Skill level. Any troop not healed will die after spending 3 days in the hospital.

To poison another player it will cost you 35 turns and you can attempt to poison that player 10 times in 24hrs.    

Antidote

Antidote rating helps prevent other players from using Poison against you. Training serpentwardenson on the Training page, buying antidote tools on your Armory under Antidote Tools as well as increasing your antidote upgrades on the Upgrades page will help prevent your personnel being killed/hospitalized from poison attacks. When poisoned your personnel can be killed as well as hospitalized, the higher upgrade level you have will help decrease the amount of serpentwardens needed to be sacrificed to heal your infected personnel.

Theft

How Theft works:-

To steal from other players in the game you will need to train personnel that you will find on the Training page called Thieves at a cost of 10000 per unit, you will also need to purchase new theft tools that are available in your Armory under Theft Tools that will increase your Theft Rating. To increase your Theft Rating further you will also need to upgrade your Theft Skill on your Upgrades page.

Theft has 4 upgrade levels, below are what weapons/tools can be stolen as you upgrade each level.

• Level 0: Only allows attack weapons to be stolen.
• Level 1: Allows defense weapons to be stolen.
• Level 2: Allows spy and sentry tools to be stolen.
• Level 3: Allow poison and antidote tools to be stolen.
• Level 4: Allows theft and vigilance tools to be stolen.

As you progress through the upgrade levels you will be able to steal other weapon/tool types from your targets armory.

To steal from another player it will cost you 30 turns and you can attempt to steal from that player 10 times in 24hrs.

Vigilance  

Vigilance rating helps prevent other players from stealing weapons/tools from you. Training Rangers on the Training page, buying Vigilance tools on your Armory under Vigilance Tools as well as increasing your Vigilance upgrades on the Upgrades page will help prevent your weapons/tools being stolen.

Gameplay Turns Cost / Experience gained.

• Attack costs 120 turns, For a successful attack you will gain 120 Experience / For an unsuccessful attack you will gain 40 Experience.

Themes  

KoC now allows you to select the color theme you would like. When you create your account or login for the first time for the era you choose what race you are going to play and you will stay that race unless you change race. At the bottom of your Command Center you will see Style Preferences under Vacation mode. Here you can select the theme you want to use, there are currently 25 different themes to choose from. Changing your theme can be done as many times as you like throughout the Era, it does not cost you turns or experience to do so.  

Layout  

KoC now allows you to select the layout you would like with each layout changing the left menu. At the bottom of your Command Center you will see Style Preferences under Vacation mode. Here you can select the Layout you want to use, there are 3 different layouts to choose from.

• Old: Kept for nostalgia where the left navigation is as it always has been.
• New: New button images for the left navigation.
• Mixed: Smaller left menu naviagation with most used buttons now in the center of every page. (Most beneficial for mobile users as you will no longer have to move to the left menu navigation and zoom to see the buttons.)

You can change the layout as many times as you like with no cost of your turns or experience to do so. For instance if you are home on your PC/Laptop you might prefer to use the New layout but if you ever venture outside you can change to Mixed layout so the center navigations are easier to use on your mobile.

Quick Start Guide

Overview

In Kings of Chaos, you are in command of an army of humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, undead, trolls or goblins. 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.

There are a number of ways to build your army and thus generate more gold and build an alliance to become more powerful:

• If you tell friends about Kings of Chaos, you may recruit them as your officers: give them your recruit link in your command center and have them join you.
• Finally, you may buy mercenaries - soldiers that will fight for you but will not generate extra gold.

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 Trolls/ Join Goblins/ 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 details 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.

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 5 minutes, this enables you to have a look around the game, spend your start up gold, 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.

• Your Recruit Link is found at the top of the Command Center. This is the primary method players can use to build their alliance. Give this link to your friends to recruit them as your officers.
• User Info shows your general contact information.
• Military Overview Shows you general military stats, such as what your siege level is at and what fortifications you have. It also shows you how much gold you have and how much you are generating.
• Officers that you may have show up under this heading. Officers help build your army, and you may also choose to work with them as close allies.
• Military Effectiveness shows you your Attack, Defense, Spy, and Sentry ratings, as well as how you are ranked against other KOC players in these categories. This section shows you how well you are doing and how you stack up to other players in each aspect of the game. You can now also see the rating needed to gain a rank in each stat.
• Personnel shows you how your forces are distributed.
• Previous Logins gives you the IP addresses and times of the last five logins to your account.
• Preferences is where you go to modify the setting on your account. Be very careful in this section - many of the changes here cannot be undone.

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, sabotage or revenge sabotage mission.

• Attack Mission: To attack another player, it will cost you 120 attack turns. If successful you will gain 120 experience but if you are defended you will only gain 40 experience. If you attack successfully, you will steal a portion of the enemy's available gold based on the damage you inflicted and the relative sizes of your armies. There is also a chance that you or your opponent will suffer casualties, based on army size and damage inflicted. The actual damages/repairs are shown on your armory page and not in the attack log. The casualties are listed with mercenaries and soldiers under "your losses" and any covert (spy or sentry) losses are shown in the "details" of the attack log. You now also take Hostages while attacking, click Hostages to see what it's all about.
 
• When attacking a player with lower TFF, the gold steal will be between 50% - 70% of what that player is holding.
• When attacking a player with higher TFF, the gold steal will be between 80% - 100% of what that player is holding.
 
• Raid Mission: To raid another player it will cost you 15 attack turns and you will receive 15 experience if your raid is successful or 8 experience if defended. Raids yield less gold and cost less turns than attacks, raiding is used to inflict more damage to an account to kill spies/sentries and leave your enemy with a hefty damage bill.
 
• Reconnaissance Mission: You can conduct Recon missions to view info about an opponent's fortifications and forces. The chance that the mission is a success is dependant on the overall strength of the spies you send, as well as the enemy's Sentry Rating. If the mission is not a success you will no longer lose a portion of the spies you sent. There are a maximum of 30 recons permitted on a specific target per 24 hours.
 
• Sabotage Mission: If your opponent has overwhelming defense or has been relentlessly assaulting you, perhaps you may choose to engage in sabotage. In these missions, when you send a number of spies you specify what type and quantity weapons you want to try to sabotage. If your spies make it past enemy sentries they will attempt to sabotage part of the enemy's armory. If you attempt to sabotage too much of the enemy's armory the sabotage will likely fail, and no sabotage mission is guaranteed to be successful. If you fail in a sabotage mission, you may lose a portion of your spies and even some of the tools they carry. You are allowed a maximum of 10 successful sabotage turns against a player per 24 hours and limited to 10 attempts to achieve this. Will you succeed the maximum 10 attempts, well that is up to your spies.
 
• Revenge Sabotage: When a player has been sabbed to their max daily loss and they choose to sabb your account, Revenge Sabbs open up on the players attack page so you get to have 4 attempts at getting revenge on that player. You can be successful 4x only.
 
• Personnel and Military Effectiveness: When you are preparing to attack, you are also shown your army stats again so you can make sure you want to go through with the mission, and in the case of covert missions, how many spies you have to dedicate to the task. In general, if your opponent has a larger army TFF (total fighting force) than yours, you will steal more of their gold as a reward.

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.

Total by You Last 24 Hours:

• Gold Stolen is what you have stolen in the last 24hrs.
• Enemy Losses is what your enemies have lost in the last 24 hrs.
• Your Losses is what you have lost in the last 24 hrs.

Alliances can now add targets to the War list page. Owner/Admins are now able to add/remove a player, alliance or even a whole chain from the top commander to the lowest member. Once added you can then View More Info on a player that will show Alliance stats for that player.

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.

• To begin, you quest starts with Wolves, after 15 successful conquests you will open up a new level which may require you to upgrade your Siege level in your armory to be able to attempt the new level.
• Each level will give you 75 Experience for each successful, defended conquests give you 50 up until you hit 53 attempts, where it will decrease the more conquests you undertake.
• Be warned you will incur damages to your weapons while conquesting, so make sure you keep on top of those repairs so you continue to succeed for each conquest.
• The valuable Experience you gain can be used to upgrade your economy or technology levels in the upgrades page or use it trade in the trade center.
• Oliphaunt: The final conquest only gives you experience, you DO NOT receive gold or repairs by undertaking Oliphaunt. You will always be defended only on Oliphaunt regardless of your SA. You will still receive experience for doing so.

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.

Admins will not approve offensive or sexually explicit images (If you do not think it will be approved then do not upload it).
• Once an alliance image has been submitted via the owner of the alliance that image will also appear on a players stats page underneath what alliances the player is a part of.
• Alliance stats are also listed underneath the alliance image.

Training

• Personnel shows you how many soldiers, mercenaries, spies, sentries, etc you have.

Upgrades

Upgrades is where you can upgrade all aspects of your account to make it stronger.

• Upgrade Siege/Fortification levels to enhance your Attack/Defense ratings.
• Upgrade Covert Skill/Sentry Skill makes all of your Spies and Sentries more powerful - it is a very effective way to increase the power of your covert forces.
• Upgrade Poison Skill/Antidote Skill makes all of your Venomweavers more knowledgeable in the art of poisoning while increasing your Poison levels increases the ability to able to poison other players personnel while Serpentwardens help build your immune system to stop others using poison against you.
• Upgrade Theft Skill/Vigilance Skill will enable your Thieves swiftness and the stealth you will need along with upgrading Theft levels to be able to steal different types of weapons/tools. You will need to train your Rangers and increase your Vigilance upgrade levels to repel those pesky thieves and stop them from stealing your weapons/tools.
• Increase your Experience Per Minute - a most important upgrade you will need, more Experience per minute the more you can use for trading and upgrades that require Experience.

You will also find an Upgrade advisor on the Upgrade page. This will help you work out how much your stats will increase with whatever upgrade you choose to do.

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 (5 Billion Max) you can withdraw it to spend on weapons, tools and upgrades. Withdrawn gold from SAFE is immediately added to your Vault so it can no longer be stolen. Race bonuses are not included in the deposited gold.

Experience Deposit has been added to the SAFE page. Here you can deposit Exp you have on hand to use towards Exp Upgrades. The Upgrades on the SAFE page can only be used via Deposited Exp.

• Increase Soldiers Upgrade, one might say the best addition to the game. Every upgrade will increase the soldiers you receive per turn.
• Upgrade Technological Development. Once you upgrade it will help your stats rise. (You can also see your what your stats will be if you upgrade your level).
• Economic Development Upgrade. This upgrade will increase your turn based gold.
• Safe Upgrade will increase the amount of gold you will receive in your safe.

Rewards

Welcome to the Rewards page. You can now redeem rewards for actions you have achieved in the game.

• Completed upgrades.
• Reached a certain level Conquesting.
• Actions you undertake against others.
• Actions that have been undertaken against you.

Statistics

The statistics page gives players a range of commands that can be used in the #koc-stats channel on Discord to give players information on all aspects of the game.

Recruit

Recruiting is an effective way for you to build your alliance, the more officers you have the more effective your alliance will be during wars. You can use your recruit link at the top of your command center, give it to your friends, family, online buddies, that guy that stands on the street corner selling fake watches. The more people you give it to the more chances you have of luring them into being your officer. Then you can wage war on those you wish to destroy.

Mercenaries

On the Training page you can see the details of your current troops, and you can hire mercenaries. Mercenaries can be hired as attack specialists, defense 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 defense 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% 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. You cannot send messages to newly created accounts until their rank has been updated to the battlefield.

Recent Logs

This box indicates when you were last attacked, sabbed, revenge 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

Make sure you log in everyday to receive the following activity bonus.

• Day 1: 150 Experience + 150 Soldiers + 150 Turns

If you fail to login everyday your login bonus resets to Day 1. If you complete the 7 days of consecutive logins the bonus will then reset to Day 1 and start over.

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.

New Player Tips

So you have found yourself in this realm of Chaos. There are certain tips and some advice you will be given from players with a wealth of knowledge, here are some to get you started.

• After creating your account you can go to the Rewards page via the Menu bar, you can then claim your reward for creating your account. You will also see other rewards your can fullfil as you do certain tasks in the game.
• Experience per turn is the best upgrade to get, it enables to build experience to use to trade for turns or use the experience for upgrades that require it.
• Conquest is the best way to get experience. Each level will give you experience you can use for trades and upgrades.
• When you attack another player in the game, the gold you steal goes directly into your VAULT. You can attack players and not lose the gold as it is stored in your VAULT. When you have enough gold you can then use to do upgrades on the Upgrades page via the Menu bar or you can use the VAULT gold to purchase weapons, repair your weapons or train your soldiers on the Training page.
• If you are storing gold in your VAULT for upgrades make sure you do not buy weapons/tools if you have armory presets filled as it will spend all your gold in the VAULT.
• You can increase your army size if you go to the SAFE page and upgrade your Soldiers Per Min. Make sure you deposit your Experience to do so.
• When attacking a player with lower TFF, the gold steal will be between 50% - 70% of what that player is holding. When attacking a player with higher TFF, the gold steal will be between 80% - 100% of what that player is holding. So if you want to hit for higher gold make sure the player you attack has a higher army than your own.
