FAQ
Here I will cover all of the questions many people have about our alliance and how to play the game:
Why be in an Alliance?
Your alliance can offer you support in the form of troops deployed to your Watch Signal Tower and also in the form of advice as seasoned players review your attacks and defence.
What’s the point of crowns?
While resources can be used to purchase various in game upgrades crowns have no practical purpose. If you can get crowns while getting resources, great. But chasing crowns before you reach the final ages is pointless as your effort will be erased when you go offline. Meanwhile an age 9 player with a smart castle design will have more crowns than you despite not even playing the game anymore. If you want crowns, upgrade your troops and defences. They accrue naturally or the system self corrects leaving you mad, so focus on the resources until your castle looks like our endgame players in The 49.
How are the 49 and Riches to Ruins different?
The 49 is compiled of the 49 players who have the most crowns. Riches to Ruins accepts all active players knowing that crowns are not as important as keeping four upgrades on the go at all times. If you are in Riches to Ruins and you want to join The 49 please come on up. But be aware that there is no 50th rank if your crowns slip.
How do I get promoted?
Because it is so easy for Lords to kick nobles (aka the majority), the rank is not handed out lightly. Subsequently becoming lord isn’t about crowns or in game skill as much as your long-term commitment to helping the alliance and its members. So, chat to people, answer questions, share replays and be a good person! If you can manage that for a little while lord will land in your lap without you even having to ask!
Is it true that Chlee likes little boys (I heard a rumour)?
While this has been bandied about, I would like to put a stop to the persistent rumour. Chlee lost a bet to Benulous, because Benulous is an unstoppable force, and the loser had to tell everyone they love little boys (not true). Case closed everyone, give it a rest already!
Okay guys, that’s enough to get started with. If you have a question you want answered you can post it here OR if you feel I haven’t covered some commonly asked questions, ADD them and your answers to this thread!
