Now, onto the FAQ!
What is chaining?
- generally 4 or more attacks within a 24 hour period is considered a chain, some alliances will attack for 3.
What do I do about a chain attacker?
-First ask them to stop, often they don't realize that what they are doing is considered unacceptable. If attacks continue go to their alliance. If they are independent or their alliance doesn't help you consult ATG
Someone attacked me and they're more than 3x my size! How is that possible?
-You were one of the first in a series of attacks and he has outgrown your range, this can happen very quickly.
What is a bump?
-A large protrusion lol. Actually it is an abbreviation for bring up my post, it is a technique to keep your topic on the top of the forum. This thread should be bumped regularly.
Why do I have a White Screen Of Death (WSOD)?
-Admins are working to eliminate them, but they may occur while changes are being made to the game.
My hero sucks!
-Deal with it or switch. Admins are trying to keep the types equal, but they are busy too.
How do I gain experience?
You get 1 experience point for winning a battle against someone 2 levels below you, 2 for people 1 level below you, etc. Maximum of 5 xp per battle. 1 xp per fireball or earthquake
Why do I (other people) have negative gold?
Your upkeep exceeds your income.
How do you calculate upkeep?
1 gold per hour for soldiers
2 gold per hour for pikemen and knights
3 gold per hour for elites (cheaper for one of the new classes)
