I've been playing this browser game for about 6 months. Simply mechanics, you can dungeon crawl and take over towns/become mayors/become a kingdom. Very dead forums but decently active world. Could use a few more players to cause more chaos.
-
um... i can't buy ammo?! must be something to do with noscript..
odd.. works now.
----
how do you heal.. aside from the dead obvious healer/healing spell... what does camping do?
-
Camping just camps you. If one of your party members has a healing skill it will be a bit better overnight, though it really becomes much faster to buy healing in a town once you can handle a dungeon.
What you want to do to start is just kill things around towns and go into the town sewers. Monsters usually only attack you if you're close to the same level, which is nice, that way you don't get destroyed early on.
My characters are mainly on the bottom right hand corner (I'm the one turning the map green down there), where abouts are you?
-
1x,1x
doing some supposedly lvl 0 quest that has me travelling to a dungeon away from town. seems a bit weird to have to exit from dungeon, travelling all the way back to town to heal.. even if the quest is a 20 day one.
healing spell is a bit weird too. seems to heal only 1 hp outside of combat, 4 or 5 more inside.
-
It's a range based on your divinity. If you buy scrolls your priest can make healing scrolls, but it does use a cast for the day.
You can get quests from inside towns to find certain jewels - these are great because you can buy them in the shops. The quests to kill X number of monster groups around towns is good too and helps increase your reputation there. There is a 3 square range around the town for the monster kill quest which makes them pretty easy.

Let me know what time zone you're in and I'll go drop gear on the ground for you. How many chars do you currently have? (you can have 8 in your party at once)
-
My party is in Firenymph (42,98), a town loyal to the kingdom of Staberinde.
I had a mage, but she just died from a trap.
My other characters all are named for my BM characters. That seems to be the magic touch.
-
probably in the evenings uk. 5 chars atm (2 melee, 1 ranged, 1 melee priest, 1 sling mage). Town of Runlevy (17,12) Tardy Handful
don't worry about the gear though.. i'll just bumble around. can you cancel quests?
the healing thing.. it just looks a bit funny... divinity is 18.. the 2 times i tried it outside combat healed 1... the few times inside combat definitely healed more. (half of max at least... which could be a fair bit) maybe just the rng...
how many turns do you get a day?
-
you get about 400 turns per day plus you can get 120 more by voting.
i'm going to head up to 42,98 and put items up for sale for real cheap in the town market
-
ah neat i can put items up for you only - what's your party name?

equip your mage with 2 shields and put them on defensive. You'll notice you have a line about half way down your characters, the one above the line are more likely to get hit in combat then below.
-
ah neat i can put items up for you only - what's your party name?
Deranged Wanderers.
-
hmm.. they sell arrows and bolts.. but not slingstones?
maybe i should get the mage into something else... or is 2 shields the way to go?
-

They do sell slingstones - each town has it's own individual economy (which when you become mayor you can improve) if you can't find something somewhere just go to another town.
The ideal party setup is: 2 warriors - get them full plate and upgrade it as much as you can. Better blacksmiths will be in different towns so you have to search.
Give them halberds but do not upgrade them until you find indestructible ones. (make sure to check the enchanted portion of the shops)
3 archers - plate mail and long bows. These will end up killing everything for you. Upgrade their bows even if they are not magical
2 priests - plate mail and 2 shields
1 mage - plate mail and a shield
Your mage becomes the mayor, they outperform everything else this way.
When picking spells, if you click the box beside the spell you can have it auto cast. I have my priests 100% online and 100% offline autocast only heals. When you are playing you actually have to manually put your casters into autocast mode each combat, this lets you decide if they should be casting.
When you get to about level 8 and your casters have a defense factor of around 40+ give them spears. You will notice that weapons have a 'back rank' penalty - basically its harder to hit from behind the line (the physical line you'll see in your party pictures on the right). Since defense relies heavily on Agility also, it won't be long before nothing can hit them so you don't really have to worry about having them behind the line.
Once your characters hit about level 10 you can start to create garrisons and station characters there and then recruit lower level chars to level up. When you become mayor, you can garrison 8 chars there that will get xp through the barracks, I always fill my towns up with as many low levels chars as I can and they level themselves.
If you let me know your party name I'll go to a town near the middle of the map and put some platemail for sale cheap. My party is Sprawling so if you put some items up for sale for as expensive as you can, I'll buy it. Steal helms you can sell for 2k i believe, and any indestructible weapon can be sold for about 5k (you can buy them for about 1k in towns)
-
Also, under Landmarks (bar at the top) look for level 1 dungeons. Moving in the wilderness takes a lot of turns but dungeons don't.
-
Is there a way to add a new character to your party by creating one? Or can you only "recruit" (buy) existing characters as additions?
Also, what's up with the iron and wood and clay in shops? Can you buy them and sell them at other shops for a profit, or are they just for constructing buildings?
-
well.. i bought a 2nd priest. now party of 6.
there's a lvl 1 dungeon. the one where i'm supposed to find 7 seals. what does "searching" (that eye icon) do in dungeons? haven't found squat and i think i've been wasting turns with it. what range does it have? how do you tell what option to pick when unlocking/bashing doors? i sort of do it random.. if 1 fail, i try another

searching is for hidden doors, don't expect them in dungeons. For locked doors, try to charge them first then spend the 15 turns.
-
so... what happen when you are in combat.. and then the game site decides it wants to lag out?
--
i guess it wasn't off for too long and i managed to continue the battle where i left off.
---
full plate.. is that the same thing as full plate mail? just found 1 in a new town i came across.

you can train a new character in the same menu you recruit, but its expensive and doesn't give you a benefit over recruiting a level 1 character.
the clay/wood/iron/stone are used to build towers and to upgrade the economy of towns when you become mayor.

if you were off long enough it should do the battle for you. i always try to log out in a dungeon to get attacked over night, free gold and xp that way, just make sure your party can handle it.
full plate should be the same as full plate mail. check the defense factor stats to make sure
-
def 18. is that the one? haven't see anything else that says plate.
what are towers?
when you say free.... does that mean no turns were used?
-
Is there any way to transfer items from one character in the party to another character in the party? I've found ammunition in the sewers, but it was picked up by a warrior.
Also, the town I started in has no blacksmith. Does that mean that the equipment will just erode away and I'll have to buy new equipment? I'm assuming that a new party won't be strong enough to survive in the wilderness to go and find another town.
-
Right-click on an item in the equipment screen and there's a drop down menu with options to either drop the item or give it to another character.
And I think you can easily make it to another town. So far the only times I've gotten attacked in the wilderness was when the attackers could be handled by my party. And in all cases there's always an option to flee combat. But equipment doesn't degrade all that quickly so I don't think you need to worry too much about finding a blacksmith yet.
-
btw.. when you say dungeon... literally dungeons outside and not the sewer?
-
So fodder, Daycryn, and Foxglove, have you enjoyed the game?
-
not bad. though... sounds like agi is a bit overpowered.
-
Yeah, I'm enjoying it so far. It certainly deserves to have more players than it seems to have just now. The developer appears to have put a lot of thought into it. There seems to be a decent about of different things to do, and I'll be interested to see how the different layers of gameplay (taking towns; building garrisons; forming kingdoms; etc) come into play as my party gets stronger.
The only issue I'm having with it at the moment is needing to go back to a healer in a town every time my characters take major damage. But I think that'll improve once my priest gets more healing spells. Recruiting a second priest would be a good idea too when I can find one.
-
i got a 2nd priest... whilst it helps.. eh.. you will still run out quickly. i saw a healing potion in a shop though... the priests have 1 portal and then all healing after
i find myself low on funds (because i'm blowing it all on buying plates) to be going 2 archers that are shooting.. heck, i have both of them melee atm at least in the sewer.. so might go 3 warriors 2 arc instead of the other way around. not exactly sure about the fletching business. (or for that matter the metallurgy)
for that matter... not sure about the halberd business... seeing as i've stuck shield bash in already...
7 members atm
-
up to 8 char atm.... how exactly do i inscribe scrolls? i have a bunch of blank scrolls and some unused spells atm. lvl 5 priests.
-
I like it so far. Haven't even gotten into the politics/building/economy/mayor side of the game yet, but its fun enough to roam around killing things.

def 18. is that the one? haven't see anything else that says plate.

Yes, if you don't log off inside a town, monsters can attack you when you're offline, so I usually log off in a dungeon
===

No, but your weapon may become unusable. Just go to another town and repair there.
===
btw.. when you say dungeon... literally dungeons outside and not the sewer?
Yes, they range from level 1 to 4. At the top click Landmarks then switch to Dungeons tab. If you don't see
any, go to the Sage inside a town and ask him. Some town quests will have you retrieve an item from a dungeon
and give you the coords

Upgrading your armor also helps this. It is expensive but will get to the point where things can't really hit you until you go into a level 4 dungeon.
Don't worry about wasted skills points as you'll make new characters later on and your current characters will become garrisons. I only put skills into berserker rage, war cry, and eagle eye.
For my mages, since they will become mayors I do Leadership, Charisma, Strategy, Tactics
For my priests I first max out Recall as it gives you about a 25% chance not to use a cast up.
===
up to 8 char atm.... how exactly do i inscribe scrolls? i have a bunch of blank scrolls and some unused spells atm. lvl 5 priests.
When you are not in combat you'll see a little hand icon beside your priest, that's use an item.
If you don't see it then you're not high enough level yet.
===
Town Quests are also a good way to make money. Early on I bought every gem I could find in every town I came across because find X gem is a very common quest. Also, kill X creatures around town is a good one and builds your prestige which gives you a chance of getting good discounts.
-
don't suppose there's any way to increases the durability? the smiths are knocking chunks off my plates...
i guess i'll just to have find more towns.

You have to find magical items that are indestructible, though very rare for armor.
Don't worry about the durability of plate mail, I've left characters in the open world for a month and their plate never came close to wearing out. Just don't upgrade weapons that are not indestructible.
If you click on Kingdom at the top and then the Message Board (I think thats what it's called), some people will post when they find a god-like smith since they are so rare.
-
There's a LOT of lag going on, especially in the dungeons. Yikes.
-
heh.. saw an indestructible leather armor.. skipped. bought an indestructible flail... thought about double handed axe but skipped it
does garrison become towns eventually? ie.. do towns get founded by players or it's fixed location/game generated only?
things going ok atm.. everyone meleeing, including archers (flipped to bows whilst offline)
-

one handed weapons are ok, but since you can't upgrade your shield, you just get more bang for your buck with 2handers.
no, garrisons stay garrisons. all towns are game generated.
-
so.. how do you make the game found new towns?
-

You don't.
In the forums we're talking about expanding the world map and limiting the number of mayors per character (some people have 40+ mayors). There is a lot of free towns at the moment, bottom right of the map, and I kill a few mayors daily to free up some more (bottom left).
-
is garrison building related to highest lvl? (i mean... turning the garrison of open ground into actual buildings..)
---
meh.. downside of garrison... need to play fetch to repair..
-
the town of Gianthound (19, 95) has a god-like blacksmith. Very nice for upgrading.
-
hmm... not too far from where i am...
but... i've blown all my money on the garrison of 4 (spare armor/wep/ammo), new recruits. XD
from now on.. if i see a indestructible wep, i'll probably buy it
-

at most he will only last a few days before he quits, so use him while you can. Focus on defense upgrades first - mobs can't hurt you if they can't hit you
-
If you guys still play and don't have any towns yet, switch your allegiance to Tuonela (under kingdom). I think a war is brewing
-
i'm.... eh.. around that red kingdom.. and have a garrison of 8 there too.... might need to shift that lot down south before i get whacked by the big bad red guy. (if i flip allegiance to anything but neutral)
.. the god like is still there..
----
hmm.. finally managed to stick a castle on top of the garrison.
-

If there is indeed a war with Tuonela, Tuonela's going to get whacked. Staberinde FTW!
-
I have a character running in a mayoral election right down in bottom left corner of the map. If I don't have any success I'll try heading back up into the blue. It seems like there needs to be a bit less red on the map to make the kingdoms level of the game interesting. Although there's so much red that I'd imagine that a few determined players could at least carve out another kingdom somewhere in red territory.
-
server dead? someone threw a fit? war killed server?
-
woah.... lots of white dots.
-
I was away all weekend, wow what a change! I just took out 8 red towns, very high level chars in them (and made 70K gold in the process). The kingdoms are actually quite evenly matched now that Summer Isles is gone. Had I been on during the weekend there'd be a lot more blue.
For the election - if you are going up against an npc, spend about 500 gold, that should clench it.
-
I don't know why you all picked the blue kingdom. MASOCHISM PERHAPS?
-
No - you are randomly assigned when you start. I was in yellow (Summer Isles) but the king went idle, then another player (Pelarm) went on a 44 town killing spree and made another Kingdom (green) which I became part of..then he quit and Summer Isles was mainly claimed by blue, so it's just a series of random events.
-
odd.. i'm neutral at start?
so what happened.. someone quit/die?
...btw, is there such a thing as med/large xbow? all i see is small.
-
ah you probably started in a neutral town.
-
don't know... it was right in the middle of reds.. can't even remember which one it is. near top left.
-
it sure is crazy right now. I'm currently in Staberinde's capital waiting for a few more turns before I take it over. One downside of game-play is you can't attack enemies in town, so I'm safe sitting there.
-
apparently my garrison in a castle told me that you've been walking past it.
-
Ya, I've been on a claiming spree. If you can cut off a town from a direct land connection to the capitol, the town will revolt, hence all the lines and resulting white dots.
-
How do you take over a town? Is it different from raiding?
-
You have to kill the mayor and then go up the stairs (as opposed to casting portal). When you go back up it will ask which char of yours you want to be mayor. Usually you assign a char then go get your mayor in waiting and then change mayors.
It would be a bad idea right now since everyone is just slaughtering all mayors.
-
...isn't that nice.. snapple killed my garrison and pinched the castle (with all the stuff i stocked inside)
-
ya, it is chaos right now. if you had characters die in there you may be able to resurrect them (I've never had one die in a castle)
The safest spot for anything is on a character inside a town. You can put a character in an Inn in any town.
-
apparently 1 out of the 8 dead bodies had been collected by healer of nearby town (crapabbey) and interred... i guess that's gone totally?
---
or not ... 7 corpses still at the castle.
i grabbed a town (with the godlike smith) and turned it into a freewhatsit.
-
go to the healer in the nearby town and resurrect whoever is in there
for the dead bodies, you should be able to add them to your party then take them to town to resurrect
-
oh... hmm.. damn.. i've dragged a deadbody along.... no room. XD will see what happens after i whacked the town.. i ain't paying him after he hit me for doing nothing...
-
... and the blue has disappeared...
-
Yup. Right now we're coordinating new kingdoms. Snapple is taking SW corner, I'm taking SE. You are safe to claim any city in the center with an NPC mayor, or any city in the SE with an NPC mayor.
-
well... snapple just killed my mayor where the godlike smith is.. XD no doubt the other town will follow soon.
---
which has already happened XD
---
heh... i stuffed 7 other with the mayor and they are all dead.
-
Join the Staberinde kingdom and post in the in game discussion to claim your area. He's claimed the bottom left.
-
still awaiting forum thingy...
anyway... sort of more interested in having 1 town only and go dungeons.. rather than play whack a town. (or get whacked a town)
heck.. if he left my castle alone i wouldn't even have bothered.
-
towns are very expensive, you'll spend about 100K to upgrade them fully before you start making any money off them. Dungeons are a great way to earn fast cash, combine those with Fetch the XX artifact from a nearby dungeon.
-
I've just put a mayor in a town in the far south central area of the map (taking it from an NPC mayor), so I suppose I'll be in the borderlands between these two southern kingdoms. Unless someone just decides to wipe out my mayor. I've recruited guards and upgraded traps, so it'll be interesting to see what happens.
Dungeoneering is a really good way of gathering gold. I've been making about 20,000 gold from each dungeon with healing and repair costs afterwards of only about 400 gold. I've also raided a couple of NPC controlled towns, but not got as much gold from them as the dungeons.

After you raid a town and kill the mayor, become mayor and empty the town coffers, that's how I was making 100K+ a day,then give up mayor (your character goes to the inn)
Make sure you post in the kingdom in-game discussion board your area. Snapple is very protective of the SW area so its better for you to be more towards my area (SE corner) and up towards the middle. He's chilled out a bit and will now send you a message if he thinks that town is his instead of just wiping you out.
-
new kingdoms are appearing now. i've made the kingdom with the original name of Dwilight. I'm claiming land but that will take a couple days.
-
...didn't even realise he messaged me yesterday XD
-
I dunno why, but dungeons are really, really slow for me. I mean they're OK for a few minutes and turns, but after a while the delay between every action gets longer and longer until it's practically unplayable.
-
I find that when there's more than 5 people on it tends to slow down. Last couple days have been ok for me though.
-
Yay! I have a town now!
-
towns are very expensive to build up - which kingdom are you in? if you are in mine i'll help you out
-
... how do i use potions? XD how do you even tell what they do? perm? temp?
-

I'm in Staberinde.
It is pretty expensive... not just in gold, but in having to range around to get clay and stone and iron and wood. But since I now have 10 characters, I think the Barracks is a good idea, that way they can get XP even though they're not in the party.
-
So they added limits on how many mayors you can have, because there were people with like dozens of mayors. So my new limit was 0, so the town rose up in rebellion and killed my only mayor.
So much for that, I guess.
Now it's all about buildings. Towers, forts, castles, with a good garrison. My garrison makes several thousand gold a day and gets good XP while my main party runs dungeons. Pretty sweet setup really.
-
Yeah, I also lost the two towns that I'd taken because the changes gave me a mayor limit of 0. Mildly irritating because I'd spent about 5000 gold on each town to try to improve them. But I can see that the mayor limits will probably be good for the game in the longterm.
I'm raiding NPC towns at moment to gather some gold.
-
0? where do i see my limit? - ah.. i see it now... smack at the limit of 1. XD
-
A few people had 25+ mayors which was a problem. Barracks are awesome in a town, I have 2 towns with level 10 barracks with full garrisons, they've levelled those 8 chars to about level 12 over the last couple months that they've sat there. The markets make good gold. Each town, when fully upgraded, should earn you about 4-5K per day.
Once you're strong enough, the best gold is in level 3 dungeons. The mobs barely hit you and you'll earn around 700 gold per fight.
-
Yeah I was avoiding dungeons in general since there would be a huge lag (up to 4 minutes) between doing any action and reloading the next panel. So I tried playing in Google Chrome instead of Firefox and the difference is phenomenal. Now dungeons are totes my fave place to level up and get gold. The treasure chests tend to be about the same amount of gold you get from a fight in that area, so in the bottom level of a level 3 dungeon it's like 1000 gold each or so.
-
problem for me is finding those dungeons in the 1st place.. i've got my 3rd town
the 3rd one is far far away from the other 2.... but has... at least for now a lvl 3 dungeon nearby. town 67,98. dungeon 70,86
-
You can always just go to the sage and pay for them to find you a dungeon. I just found my first level 4 dungeon that way.
Scary place.
-
they don't always find anything... or it might be on the other side of the map..
-
So, Dwilight is pretty big now innit?
Maybe too big...
-
So, Dwilight is pretty big now innit?
Maybe too big...
So whats this doing in this thread? Or is there a kingdom or something in Crown of Conquest that happens to be called Dwilight?
-
kingdom run by Azerax
-
Yep, he made a kingdom and called it Dwilight. So we know that's where all the BM players go.
Except me of course.
-
since the global war ended the active players have been greatly reduced.
-
So I get back to this game and find that Staberinde is all but destroyed, my characters dead, castles razed or seized. Still, not all is lost. I'm resurrecting my characters and looking for appropriate ass to kick. Also, there's a second server, with a whole new map, still relatively new so no player-controlled kingdoms yet. Fun!
-
I have to say I've become a bit bored with it. I've been playing since it was first mentioned in this thread. The last war was a bit one-sided, and there hasn't been much co-ordination on the Staberinde discussion board. Some (most?) of the Staberinde players seem more interested in the new blitz server.
If something interesting happens on the main server, I'll probably stick around. I'm not sure I have the time or interest to play on two different servers, and I don't really feel like starting again from scratch - mainly because it takes soooo long to build up a decent party and get more than 3 mayors.
I read that Mutant is thinking about introducing server resets when a kingdom has been top dog for more than a certain period of time. I think that would probably be the kiss of death for my interest in the game. As someone said on the Crown of Conquest forum, it takes so long to build everything up that having it all wiped clean would be an enjoyment killer.
I should say that I still think its a good game, but my interest in it is just fading a bit.
