Always be sure to have as many heroes hired at your command so you can undergo more actions by attacking, defending your main city/sub city for extra % income from your hero related skills, and initiating one or more of them to Joint defense your ally guild member to reinforce his or her defenses against an enemy attack. Do not hire White named heroes for they are the weakest among the 4 types. They cannot increase further in their skills, and they provide the least stats. Post your Earls to defend to give your main
and sub city bonuses located in their skill tree. Focus on the other different type of heroes for they are more effective during combat.
43. Your free heroes should never have any reason to sit in your city doing nothing for more than 1 hour while you are active. My heroes are always joy riding in the map.

Tips by Magnus

1. Heroes and technologies are just as important to success as the Army size or composition. Focus on improving these as you go along.
2. Technology is the fastest way to increase levels, with the higher techs (costing gold coin) providing the biggest point gain.
3. The higher score, the more charcoal you need to use the Hell’s Forge.
4. Equipment can be gained by doing the instancing. This is located to the right side of the screen. Equipment boxes (if you win) can be recovered in your treasury, under equipment. Once recovered, they will show up under your hero’s equipment bag.
5. You can get heroes from either hero cards (moderator events, or paying 10 gc in your Alter of Heroes), or buying them in your alter of heroes. The larger level of alter, the more heroes you see. White is lowest level, with Green, Blue, Purple and ultimately Orange being better.
6. The color of equipment corresponds to the color of heros. The higher type (blue, purple, or orange) is more powerful.
7. Equipment can be improved (strengthened) using fortifier stones. These are red, blue, or yellow. If enchantment fails, however, your equipment level drops back to zero – not just back one level!
8. Fortifying common (frosted) equipment seems to have most success without failure. A good method is fortifying these up to level 3, then destroying them and using the new fortifying stone to enhance better equipment.
9. If you destroy enhanced equipment, you get a fortifying stone (to the previous equipment’s level) and a few copper coins.
10. Heroes can be improved through there tree. Under the hero, look at the upper right and click on the tree. You can improve capabilities of that hero that will occur when you attack with him, or when he is defending your castle/city. The better the hero (i. e. blue or better), the higher you can get improve.
11. The individual development quests are the best way to get started. This provides a good progression for entry people to start building the right buildings, troops and techs. Once you get in a good guild, you can ask for better techniques.
12. The daily quests provide everything from resources, to troops, to fortifier stones. These should be done daily to help you out.
13. The Q&A; under the mission task provides a quick method to get resources and bonuses to build quickly. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so you can go through them quickly to get the help.
14. The event challenges (seen in your city view on the hill on the right side) can provide you a fun way to challenge yourself and/or to get additional equipment. It is important to check all of these out, because you have to claim these rewards weekly (Sunday), it is not automatic. These special items can be used to trade for equipment or other items within the event menus.
15. One event everyone can do is to do Artemis’ guardianship. This is just logging on daily for a week. The reward is the loyalty amulet. This can be used to get things, or to sell in auction for gold coins.
16. Demeter’s diligence is another easy event, that rewards with Diligence amulet. This requires you to collect ruins 250 times in a week. Each collection must be over 5k ruins. This takes 3 rats to get, so sending 3 rats in waves on your ruins will get this reward.
17. Losses can be healed to a limited degree in the CMD area (upper right). You can use gold, copper or resources to heal to varying levels.
18. Only guilds can seize or challenge for holdings. Holdings provide attack bonuses and limited resource bonuses for those guilds that own them. They can be challenged daily at specific times. If no defending troops are present, then the attacker automatically wins (if they send a hero and troops).
19. You can trade equipment and items in the Auction area (either the hot button to the right, or through the auction tab under the treasury. To put an item in auction, it must be in your bank (tab to the right). Click on item and click auction. Auctioning items costs copper coins, with more coins for more days. It will also cost you 1 gold coin when sold. The minimum you can sell for is 2 gold coins, which means you will get 1 gc upon selling (with one gc going to the game).
20. Items can be broken into fragments with hammers of the same color (e. g. a green item can make a green fragment with a green hammer). Fragments can be recast using a crystallization stone of the same color. They can be recast into equipment of your choosing. This is a great way to complete an equipment set.
21. Equipment sets are a collection of the same type of equipment (i. e. Excellent Soldier XXX) that when worn by a hero (the whole set), provides a bonus to that hero. For example, the excellent soldier set provides a bonus of 20% attack and a 5% experience bonus. Getting a complete set is best. They can also provide training or resource bonuses depending on the type of set.
22. You win boxes during fighting or instancing. These boxes can provide different types of equipment or items for your guild (that give you force or vitality points). You have to buy keys to open these. Some keys can be bought with gold or silver coins, while other keys require gold coins.
23. The best way to build hero experience and get resources to build is by attacking dark caves. These are easy targets that can provide all three resources. You must send coolies or carts (preferably coolies) with your Army to get gold from the caves. A good mix is 250 lvl 1, and 1 lvl 2 and 3 unit with coolies. This builds experience, gets resources, and has no losses. You can use this mix with any level of hero with or without equipment.
24. Build rats as one of your first units. Start with 5 rats, but build to at least 100. These can be sent against any ruin and will bring back resources.
25. The help tab (right) will take you to a screen that you can see the various equipment and items of the game. This also tells you about the different types of units. For specific questions on what type of dark units are at what place (Army, Cave, City, Village, or Kingdom), click on the question mark on the Map page (next to the cords on the right side).
26. Guilds are the lifeblood of the game. Get into a good guild to get questions answered, increase your force/vitality levels, and get the resource bonuses from leveling-up your guild. Guilds can provide up to 256% increases in resources, but that takes a lot of time, effort from the guild, and generally money. Guilds can declare hostilities or friendship with other guilds. Hostile guilds provide higher ruins/bounty when successfully attacked.
27. Laborers are an easy way to build up population to work, without having to build the houses or bell towers. However, they provide no attack or defense capability, so they are killed easily if attacked (vs your houses and tower will still be there). This is a strategy issue to consider. Laborers are needed to research call of judgment.
28. Spying:More spies does not equate to better success. Using less spies often works better. However, spying depends on your technology level versus the person you are spying. Spying is also fooled if the opponent is using illusion or other magic.
29. Higher buildings and more advanced buildings (such as Griffen Association to allow for joint defense, or Royal palaces for more cities) require gold coins. If you want to be able to have more than 4 cities, or do joint defense in the future, you should be aware and save gold coins. Gold coins are also needed to increase your hero stable past six.
30. Higher techs and higher buildings require an increasingly large amount of resources. Building your warehouses up early is important to effective growth. Larger storage also allows for better use of collecting ruins or getting help from teammates.
31. Dark units get progressively more difficult and deadly depending on type. This progression goes:a) Dark Caves; b) Devil Army I; c) Devil Army II; d) Dark Village; e) Devil Army III; f) Dark Castle; and finally g) Dark Kingdom.
32. It is a good strategy to spy first. If there are no troops or defenses, you can send coolies and carts with a hero and “farm” a city.
33. Dark Village/Castle/Kingdom’s regenerate after the first “kill”. You have to kill them twice before all defenses and troops are gone. After that, they can be “farmed” with coolies and carts until fully empty.
34. You can only attack a player three times in a given day.
35. You can only get resources from a dark unit (army or city) for the first 21 attacks against that type. For example, you can attack a dark cave and get resources 21 times. After the 21st attack, all other attacks will get hero experience and ruins, but you will not collect resources.
36. You can trade for items in the honor hall using your collected honor. Players gain honor through attacking or successfully defending in Player-vs-Player battles. The bigger the battles, the more honor points you collect.
37. A city’s size is an important feature to look at when enlarging your number of cities. The larger the capacity, the more you can build. The smaller the capacity, the less you can build. The size of the city appears random, so if small a player can destroy the city and rebuild using another Army of Lords. The city size is found by clicking on the city name in the drop down menu in the center-top of the screen.
38. A player’s strength is in his/her army. Cities cannot be captured, heroes can be brought back to life, but the Army is finite. Player strategies can be used to move armies around or hide armies. Whatever strategy is used, the Army is the primary target for most players. Losses taken through battle at a city, can be healed (to various degree) in infirmary; however, losses at mines, jungles, etc cannot be healed.
39. When attacking experienced players, or dark castles and kingdoms, it is very helpful to use fireballs to destroy their defenses. To use fireballs, you must have sanguinary square (lvl 4). You build them in the Defense tab. For dark castles, it takes 50 fireballs to destroy defenses. For dark kingdoms it takes between 75 and 100 to destroy them – better to go with 100. Failure to destroy defenses ties your units up and you will lose more of them in the attack. To defend against fireballs, you build fortress of justices (also in the defense tab).
40. When talking on the chat areas, be careful of the refresh. When you refresh your screen, or just log on, the chat defaults to world chat (vs Guild Chat).
41. You can use Relation (in upper left boxes) to save the locations of friendly and enemy cities. From this window, you can click on the magnifier glass and it will take you there. This is handy for enemies you are attacking en masse, or for cities that you are joint defensing, sending resources to , or farming.
42. You can only send resources to those within your guild. Also, you have to be lower in rank (level) from the person sending resources.
43. Some items in your equipment bags (under heros) can be sent to your bank, and some have to be either used or abandoned. Sending equipment to your bank is a good technique to store items until you can use them (level issues).
44. To increase your bag space or bank spaces, you have to use 10 gc per spot. To open these, click on the square that is “x” marked. You have to have open spaces to receive equipment or items.
45. Use resources as much as possible to keep your heros HP up. Once you start getting HP potions (small for caves and lvl 1 armies and bigger for larger fights), use them to help conserve some of resources and still keep your HP strong.
46. Heroes only defend your city if you put them into the defense (something you should do before logging off). This gives you the extra bonuses from their tree, and helps your Army fight off attackers. If they die, you can always heal them and start building again.
47. There is no effective market system. You can trade for gold coins in the Auction, and convert gold to silver and copper (by clicking on any of the coin symbols in the upper left corner).
48. Do not attack dark armies until you are ready:enough tech, enough hero, enough troops. Armies at level II, III and the towns/castles/kingdoms will kill your army.
49. You can heal troops in infirmary, but you can not heal carts, coolies, rats, or canons/trebs.
50. The higher your hero’s level is, the less experience you get from attacking a dark army. In other words, the amount of experience you get (from atk a dark army or city) decreases as your hero improves.

Tips by Cezton

Okay, here is my contribution, and I do feel like I could have gone on and on. . .

Rising of King – Path to World Domination

-if you come into the game with a crap name like 698888, cockass
or zzzzzzzq, restart right away – you might actually make sucsess and
bear the name for a while.

-say hello to world chat, build relations, as you die fast on your own

-in the same world chat, don’t behave like a nihilist, self centered
twelve year old adhd kid

-you start off with 7 days of protection, work hard in these days,
not only to get a flying start, but also to measure up when applying
to your first guild

-when choosing guild, the strongest guilds may be too selective for
you to begin with, but you can prove worthy in a smaller guild and be
accepted later

-go to missions and complete these one by one, you will progress
and get rewards needed to progress fast

-focus on lumbermill first, you will need a lot of wood

-watch your neighbours, if some seem inactive, you can loot these
for resources with a hero and some coolies

-start building new castles as soon as you can. Army of Lords
takes a while to train, and they march slow.

-Place your castles nearby for better logistics. Huddling them
together may however make you an easier target, and reduces your
overall range and farming area.

-when building a new castle, check it’s info by clicking on
it in the castle/mine list while in it. Castle area is how many
buildings it can hold. This is random, so if less than 300,
demolish castle right away and build new one.

-train 300 swordsmen/chaos units/beastmen and 30 coolies to start
attacking dark caves.

-kill npc for resources, xp and simple potions

-you can farm dark caves up to 21 times per day, but you can still
kill them after this, you just won’t get any loot, just ruins

-when you level your hero, he/she will regain full hp, loyalty and
power.

-the first few hero levels can be gained by running simple hero
missions

-a hero will gain xp by defending a castle

-when you find inactive players to farm, do so 7 times per day
to complete daily morale quest

-a hero has skills, the lower ones are passive. This means they
help the hero at all times: luck, agility, strength, intelligence,
stamina.

-the upper skills are active, and need to be assembled to help.
You can have two assembled skills at any time: resources, training,
building, study, attack, defense, healing.

-luck skill gives your hero better luck. Luck can help in
mysterious ways.

-agility gives your hero better armour and makes him attack faster.
Armour reduces damage.

-strength gives your hero stronger attack, dealing more damage

-intelligence gives your hero better dodge, a chance to avoid damage
altogether

-stamina gives your hero more hitpoints

-resources, when assembled and hero is defending a castle,
gives a higher hourly output of resources

-training, when assembled and hero is defending a castle,
gives faster troop training, and hero need only be defending
at the moment the training is started

-building, when assembled and hero is defending a castle,
makes building faster, and hero need only be defending at the
moment the training is started

-enhanced study, when assembled and hero is defending a castle,
makes technology improve faster, and hero need only be defending
at the moment the training is started

-attack, when assembled, gives the army the hero is leading better
attack, dealing more damage. Works when defending castle and when
marching into battle

-defense, when assembled, gives the army the hero is leading better
defense, giving a chance to avoid damage altogether. Works when
defending castle and when marching into battle

-healing, when assembled, gives the army the hero is leading more
hitpoints. Works when defending castle, and when marching into
battle.

-When you have a small army attack+defense works better, when
leading a larger army, attack+healing works better.

-there are also 3 special skills, teleport, soul shackles and
soul release, which costs 500 gold each per hero
coins each.

-teleport can be used once per day and costs 20 power. March
army on your target, then go to event, click on that event,
and teleport to arrive at target in less than a minute. This
is very useful and hero must be level 20.

-soul shackles can lock down an enemy hero. Not normally
worth the cost, as one hero less doesn’t hurt the enemy much

-soul release is anti soul shackles, and as such is very
rare and not very useful

-hero colour defines quality. The order is white-green-blue-
purple-orange, worst to best. Within all colours, except orange,
the order is inferior-common-superior, worst to best.

-white heroes cannot gain skills above lv1. Green heroes
are thus much much better, and they show up in altar of heroes
now and then. Pay attention, check altar of heroes every hour.

-green heroes and better costs copper coins to recruit, so
save copper coins for the rare arrival of blue heroes and better.

-a good green hero costs about 10000 copper. A blue can cost
about 50000 copper. Purple or better heroes are usually gained
other ways than altar of heroes.

-troop composition is usually given as X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X,
this is your combat troops, lowest to highest, titans being
the highest.

-when you get about X-X-X-100-50-30-X-X-X you can start
farming devil army i. send 1-X-X-100-50-30. You will lose 1
lv1, but you can heal him with resources.

-devil army i, ii and iii will be gone from map when killed.

-collect the ruins of the devil army you kill by sending
it when you send the attack, and use speed choice for the
giant rats to arrive later or same time.

-20 giant rats is usually enough for devil army i, then
70 then 330 for ii and iii.

-when you get about X-500-X-400-120-50 you can farm devil army i.
Send 1-X-500-X-400-120-50-30 (or when you get the next troop
1-0-0-400-120-50-30-20 for more speed). This will give much
better xp.

-when you get about 400-400-50-100-100-100-70-50 you can
farm dark village

-when you get about 1000-1-1-1600-500-400-200-100-50 and
good tech, you can farm devil army iii with low losses

-when levelling heroes, the hero only needs to survive the
attack, his abilities otherwise isn’t extremely important.

-when attacking players, some of your units will not be
targeted before your lv1 are killed. These are the
0-0-0-X-X-0-0-0-X units. So, a typical attack would be
sending X-1-1-X-X-1-1-1-X troops plus carts/coolies.

-if you play orcs the orc chieftain will also be protected.
This is a strong advantage for attacking, and thus you
can see some experienced players favour orcs

-Orcs stink though. . . bad! :-)

-the 1’s above can be revived for no loss, but they will
buy your other units time to deal out damage.

-the same applies for defense, if you have at least one of
each defense, you will buy time for your troops to kill off
the attacking units.

-this is a wargame, and you will at some point lose your army
or most of your army. Your job will be to die hard and rarely.

-the best way to do this is to present a defense that hurts
bad to penetrate. The second best is to hide your army.

-a strong defense is joint defense. To send joint defense
from a castle, you need griffin association, crows or bloody army
(human, chaos, orc) lv6.

-joint defense, while in a castle, will pose multiple targets for
the attackers, and will not be visible on a spy report. With 5
heroes with troops in joint defense, you can take out a much stronger
attacker.

-you can joint defense your other castles, guild member’s castles
and even your own mines. If you joint defend your own mine,
the troops cannot be revived however.

-troops can stay in joint defense up to 36 hours.

-your first 10 gold coins spent in this game should absolutely
be on joint defense, possibly also the first 20, for the ability
to send from your main and to your main castle from a subcastle.

-the best stuff in this game requires gold coins, but you can
manage without buying gold coins. If not paying for coins, you
must trade for gold coins.

-fortifier stones, good equipment, and stuff from event building
can be sold for gold coins.

-event building is in castle view (not in map view) on right
hilltop. Various weekly quests can be completed for badges,
which in return can be traded for good gear.

-for example, you can get a shock longsword by loggin on all
days in 9 weeks, killing npc for 16 courage and collecting
many ruins in 11 weeks.

-one way to keep your giant rats safe is to march them very far
at 20% speed overnight.

-you can get a fair idea if a player is online or not by spying,
then spying again ten minutes later, and compare all results.

-to check for joint defense, send a probe attack just prior to main
attack, sending a hero and one troop (or one of each revivable
troop), read report, then call back if heavy joint defense

-if you see a subcastle of an enemy, and want to know the
coordinates of he main castle, you can look for the player
in the ranking lists or use an item called Kars’ Promise.

-you can use items like lie or illusion to make your defenses
and army look stronger than it is

-if all troops or defenses of an enemy are in even numbers on
a spy report, he may be using lie ir illusion, and the numbers are
in fact half

-disguise is an item that prevents spying

-crystal ball gives instant spy report, dispite disguise

-return scroll can be used on a returning army, and gets it back
within a minute

-rheas key is a valuable item that can be used to move your castle
to a chosen location, or random location if broken rheas key.

-gather small, medium and large crystals to fulfill quests, daily
quests, and to trade for fortifier stones.

-use fortifier stones to enhance hero equipment, making them more
powerful. +1 through +3 needs low (red) fortifier stones. +4 through
+6 needs mid (blue) fortifier stones. +7 through +9 needs high
(yellow) fortifier stones.

-demolish hero equipment for copper coins

-if hero equipment is +X when demolished, you get a +X fortifier
stone with the copper.

– +X fortifier stones always enhances an item to +X, never fails.

-It takes a lot of attempts to get something to a high level,
costing you many fortifier stones

-You can buy amulet in shop, each amulet can be spent to give
you at attempt to enhance an item once with +10 chance of success,
and the item will not revert to 0.

-talisman can be used to exchange 10 low fortifier stones
to 1 mid fortifier stones: click the fortifier stones to get
window up, not the talisman

-hero gear can be broken up to create fragments. Green items
like helmet, leggings, boots, earrings, amulet and gem gives
green fragment i. Green items like shoulder pads, breastplate,
ring, weapon and shield, gives green fragment ii.

-fragments can be used to create new items. This needs one or
two of each fragment, and a crystal of the same colour. Click
fragment to get formula window up.

-fragments can be gained from npc. Crystals from attacking and
killing players (or draw) – and also from defending and winning.

-green crystals are not uncommon from simple pvp. I have gotten
blue also. I am not sure if purple and orange is possible, or only
from heaven forge

-use recast (fragments+crystal->new item) only for the best items,
or to complete sets

-the crystallization stone (crystal) is worth most of the value
of the best item of it’s colour

-the main method of gaining gear for your hero is through instancing.
try and run as hard mission as you can, but it costs healing potions
or resources to heal your hero.

-the top missions for each level can yield blue items, but it is
rare.

-temple (athens) missions can yield orange or purple items, but it’s
rare.

-there are also forge stones, which I have not seen gained from
anywhere but heaven forge (gold coins) or events. A blue forge stone
can be used to convert a specific green item to a specific blue
item.

-when using forge stone, the upgraded item must be +0. You can ‘fail’
an enhancement in order to make it +0 if it’s enhanced already. Murphy’s
law does however say that unlikely as it will be, this attempt will
succeed, but such is life. :-)

-you gain honour points from attacking and killing player troops.
You can collect these and trade for hero items.

-from npc, pvp and instancing, you gain offering boxes. These
require keys to open. Keys can be bought with gold coins, or silver
coins. If you get silver coins from event, this is a good way to
spend them.

-you cannot sell hero gear after it has been worn. So, think
about this before putting it on: Would I gain more from
selling this item for hard needed gold coins, or should I
keep it?

-offering boxes gives items like radom’s head and papias sword.
They give you force and vitality points when offered to guild.
When you have enough force or vitality points, you can use papias
swords to gain force or vitality level. This gives your army
better attack and more hitpoints and helps you in battle.

-you gain radom’s head from holding. The rest come from events
and gold/silver coins.

-when winning a holding battle, one may gain two or three
offerings.

-when killing enemy in holding battle, one may gain force points.
The more army you send, the more you may gain.

-spending a few gold coins on force/vitality is a good move.

-if you quit a guild you lose 10% of your force/vitality level.

-copper coins are rare, so try to revive your losses with resources
only, at 10%. You need the copper to recruit heroes, and a little to
sell your stuff in auction.

-steam tanks/trebuchets/soul cannons and titans cannot be revived.
The same applies to all con-combat units, like rats and coolies.

-the server operates in one time zone. Check and learn when the
new day and respawns occour in your own time zone.

-npc respawns at 03:35, 11:35 and 19:35.

-Holding battles occour at 12:00 and 21:00 server time. Guild
members send troops to holding in the hour before this.

-If your castle is attacked, you may gain a war remnant. This
behaves like a permanent building, and opens up for magic
buildings like magic base and magic portal.

-Magic Portal allows you to teleport your troops to another
of your castles.

-Magic base allow you to sense movement in a nearby enemy
castle.
