GUIDE 07 — BATTLE DAY: COMPLETE OVERVIEW

This guide explains:

🌍 travel between kingdoms 🕙 the 12 hours of the Battle Phase 🏰 the King’s Castle and the Turrets ⏱️ the exact victory conditions 🎯 how points work 🛡️ shields and Battle Frenzy 🤝 why the chosen alliance is essential 🚫 mistakes that can cost us the battle

The specific heroes, troop ratios, and roles will be detailed in Guide 08.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 1/14 — 🎯 THE TWO BATTLE DAY OBJECTIVES

Battle Day features two different competitions.

1️⃣ THE CASTLE BATTLE

Its objective is to control the King’s Castle.

It determines:

🏰 the military outcome of the KvK 👑 the future King or High King ⚖️ which kingdom retains or loses its royal independence

2️⃣ BATTLE POINTS

They provide:

🎁 personal rewards 🤝 alliance rewards 🏆 Battle Phase rankings 🏅 potentially the final Kingdom Medal, depending on the participation requirement displayed in the event

These two objectives must not be confused.

HAVING THE MOST KILLS DOES NOT WIN THE CASTLE.

HOLDING THE CASTLE IS THE MAIN OBJECTIVE.

A highly ranked player can be useless if they abandon their strategic role to chase personal points.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 2/14 — 🕙 SCHEDULE FOR 12/09

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 3/14 — 🏆 WHAT PREP DECIDED

IF K2149 WON PREP

✅ our King’s Castle is protected ✅ the enemy Castle becomes the objective ✅ K2149 fights as the attacker

IF K2149 LOST PREP

❌ our King’s Castle becomes the objective ❌ we must repel the invasion ✅ we can still defend our independence by holding the Castle

⚠️ WARNING

The protection earned during Prep applies to:

THE KING’S CASTLE

It does not automatically protect:

❌ our cities ❌ our farms ❌ our absent players ❌ our Gathering marches

Even if K2149 wins Prep, enemy governors can still cross over and fight during the Battle Phase.

WINNING PREP DOES NOT REPLACE A SHIELD.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 4/14 — 🎒 PREPARATION BEFORE 10:00 UTC

Every player must be ready before the phase opens.

🛡️ IF YOU WILL BE ABSENT

✅ activate a shield that covers your entire absence ✅ protect important farms as well ✅ avoid leaving unnecessary resources exposed ✅ never rely solely on an agreement between kingdoms

Diplomatic rules are enforced by players, not automatically by the game.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚔️ IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING

Prepare:

❤️ an Infirmary that is as empty as possible 🍞 Bread for healing 🪵 Wood 🪨 Stone ⛓️ Iron ⏱️ emergency Healing Speedups 💎 Gems 📍 Advanced Teleports 🛡️ backup shields ⚔️ your march presets 🏰 your rally and garrison heroes 🎧 the operational voice or text channel

Before 10:00:

✅ recall unnecessary marches ✅ check your assigned battle alliance ✅ check your role ✅ check the announced ratios ✅ prepare the buffs that are actually needed

Ideally, 12-hour buffs should be activated as close as possible to 10:00 UTC so that they cover the entire Battle Phase.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 5/14 — 🛡️ SHIELD AND BATTLE FRENZY

Attacking or scouting another player can trigger:

🔥 BATTLE FRENZY

During this period:

❌ you cannot activate a shield ❌ you cannot immediately return to your home kingdom

Current duration:

30 MINUTES

Each new attack or scout resets the timer.

The time does not stack, but the countdown restarts.

EXAMPLE

You attack at 10:20.

➡️ Battle Frenzy lasts until approximately 10:50.

You attack again at 10:40.

➡️ the timer restarts and runs until approximately 11:10.

A SHIELD IS NOT AN ESCAPE BUTTON AFTER AN ATTACK.

Before attacking or scouting:

✅ know your target ✅ check your escape route ✅ make sure your city can survive ✅ follow command’s orders

🚫 Do not scout a whale “just to look.”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 6/14 — 🌍 AFTER CROSSING OVER

Some mechanics continue to work in the other kingdom.

📘 Buffs obtained from Outposts remain active.

📘 Auto Rally is officially unavailable after crossing over.

⚠️ The official FAQs currently contradict each other regarding Auto Hunting:

• one FAQ states that Auto Hunting remains available; • another FAQ states that it is unavailable in the enemy kingdom during Kingdom of Power.

DO NOT BASE ANY PLAN ON AUTO HUNTING.

Check it directly during Battle Day.

➡️ In all cases, rallies must be monitored and joined manually.

TELEPORTS

Crossing over and repositioning are controlled through the event interface.

Prepare:

📍 Advanced Teleports 💎 Gems if needed 🗺️ the coordinates shared by leadership

Do not assume that every move will be free or unlimited.

EVERY TELEPORT MUST SERVE A PURPOSE.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚠️ FRIENDLY FIRE IS POSSIBLE

After crossing over, the game allows attacks between players:

• from the same kingdom • but belonging to different alliances

Therefore:

🚫 never click a city solely because it appears attackable 🚫 never strike a K2149 alliance ✅ check the target’s kingdom number

The game does not automatically protect our alliances from one another.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 7/14 — 🤝 THE CASTLE IS ALLIANCE-BASED

Prep is:

KINGDOM VERSUS KINGDOM

But the Castle technically operates around:

ALLIANCES

In the current KvK system:

❌ an RTF member cannot directly join a MON rally ❌ a MON member cannot directly reinforce a TMN garrison ❌ two alliances from the same kingdom do not automatically share their rallies

Each player can only participate in rallies and garrisons belonging to their current alliance.

CONSEQUENCE

Players assigned to the Castle must join the battle alliances chosen by leadership before the battle.

Occupation is also tracked by alliance.

THE TIMERS OF TWO ALLIANCES MUST NOT BE TREATED AS A SINGLE TIMER.

A main alliance must therefore be able to:

🏰 hold the Castle 🔥 receive the best reinforcements ❤️ maintain rotations ⏱️ build its own occupation time

🔒 BATTLE ALLIANCES LOCKED

Rosters must be finalized before 10:00 UTC.

During the Battle Phase:

❌ no planned alliance changes; ❌ no rotation between battle alliances; ❌ no changes intended to earn personal points; ❌ no improvised attempt to fix a bad roster.

The game technically allows a change, but the player’s points are then reset, and the entire rally / garrison / help organization may be disrupted.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 8/14 — 🔴 ALERT ZONE AND RUINS

The King’s Castle is surrounded by an:

🔴 ALERT ZONE

Two hours before the Castle shield disappears, a rebellion occurs in this zone.

Cities already present may be:

➡️ randomly teleported by the system.

Once the rebellion ends:

✅ governors can teleport into the Alert Zone.

K2149 RULE

🚫 do not take a strategic position without an assignment 🚫 do not block Rally Leaders 🚫 do not teleport randomly into the red zone ✅ use only the coordinates provided

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏚️ RUINS / RELICS

The area around the Castle contains Ruins and Relics.

When a march crosses a Relic:

ITS SPEED IS GREATLY REDUCED.

This can break the synchronization of multiple rallies.

Two rallies launched at the same time can arrive several seconds apart if they take different routes.

➡️ The Rally Captain’s position is just as important as their timer.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 9/14 — 🏰 HOW DO WE WIN THE CASTLE?

The Castle Battle lasts a maximum of:

5 HOURS

There are two victory conditions.

🥇 IMMEDIATE VICTORY

One alliance controls the King’s Castle for:

2 HOURS 30 MINUTES CONSECUTIVELY

Victory is secured before the end of the five hours.

If the alliance loses the Castle before 2 hours 30 minutes:

❌ its consecutive timer is interrupted.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🥈 VICTORY BY CUMULATIVE TIME

If no alliance achieves 2 hours 30 minutes consecutively:

➡️ at 17:00 UTC, the alliance that has accumulated the longest occupation time wins the Castle.

Its previously accumulated time is not erased when it temporarily loses the Castle.

THE CASTLE IS NOT WON BY:

❌ having the highest number of kills ❌ having the best personal ranking ❌ simply being the last alliance present at 16:59 ❌ adding together the occupation time of several alliances ❌ burning the most cities

THE ALLIANCE’S OCCUPATION TIMER IS THE DECIDING RULE.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 10/14 — 🗼 HOW DO THE TURRETS WORK?

Four Turrets surround the King’s Castle.

They are not decorative.

IF A TURRET IS CONTROLLED BY THE SIDE OPPOSING THE CASTLE

💥 it periodically attacks the Castle garrison.

The longer it remains occupied:

➡️ the shorter the interval between its shots becomes.

IF THE CASTLE AND THE TURRET ARE CONTROLLED BY THE SAME “TEAM”

📘 The official rule states that the Turret does not fire when the same “team” simultaneously controls the Castle and the Turret.

⚠️ The public rule does not state with absolute certainty whether two different alliances from the same kingdom are always considered the same “team” for this interaction.

The distribution between multiple alliances must therefore be confirmed in the in-game rules or through an official response before relying on it completely.

📊 The community databases currently being monitored also indicate a Lethality bonus for troops from the kingdom holding the Castle:

🗼 1 Turret: +8 % 🗼 2 Turrets: +12 % 🗼 3 Turrets: +15 % 🗼 4 Turrets: +20 %

⚠️ These values must be confirmed on the Battle Day screen in case of an update.

PRIORITY

🏰 The Castle remains the main objective.

However, ignoring the Turrets can make a garrison much harder to maintain.

The Castle / Turret assignments will be given in the operational orders.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 11/14 — 🎯 HOW DO YOU EARN BATTLE POINTS?

📊 The details on point sources and the numerical values in this section come from the current community tables.

➡️ Check the K2149 event screen before deliberately trying to score points.

Battle Phase points can come from:

⚔️ enemy soldiers killed or severely wounded 💀 losses sustained in eligible battles 🏰 occupying the Castle 🗼 occupying the Turrets

📊 CURRENT COMMUNITY TROOP POINT VALUES

T1 ➡️ 1 point T2 ➡️ 1 point T3 ➡️ 2 points T4 ➡️ 3 points T5 ➡️ 4 points T6 ➡️ 5 points T7 ➡️ 7 points T8 ➡️ 9 points T9 ➡️ 11 points T10 ➡️ 13 points

📊 OCCUPATION — CURRENT COMMUNITY POINT VALUES

Every:

1 000 troop Power

held for:

60 seconds

in the Castle or a Turret currently grants:

➡️ 1 point

⚠️ The in-game screen remains the final reference.

RECEIVING POINTS FOR YOUR LOSSES DOES NOT MAKE A SACRIFICE WORTHWHILE.

Lost troops can no longer:

❌ hold the Castle ❌ fill rallies ❌ defend a garrison ❌ fight during the following hours

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 12/14 — 📏 THE ±3 LEVEL RULE

To earn Battle Points against an enemy governor:

➡️ the difference between your Town Center levels must be no more than 3 levels.

TRUEGOLD

Each Truegold star counts as:

1 ADDITIONAL LEVEL

Simplified example:

TC30 TG1 TG2 TG3

are considered successive levels.

IN A RALLY

The level used for the check is that of the:

RALLY CAPTAIN

Not that of each joiner.

If the difference exceeds three levels:

❌ the battle can still take place ❌ you can still suffer losses ❌ you do not receive the corresponding Battle Points

CHECK THE LEVEL BEFORE ATTACKING.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 13/14 — 🏙️ CITY ATTACKS

During the Battle Phase, enemy cities may become targets.

But attacking a city involves:

🔥 Battle Frenzy 💀 a risk of heavy losses ❤️ pressure on the Infirmary 📦 consumption of healing resources ⚠️ the possibility of a counterattack

Any agreements between the two kingdoms are not technical protections.

K2149 RULES

🚫 no random attacks 🚫 no solo attacks against a whale 🚫 no friendly fire 🚫 no ranking chase that puts the Castle at risk 🚫 no attack outside the ±3 rule “just to try”

✅ attack only authorized targets ✅ follow the announced diplomatic rules ✅ keep enough troops for the objectives ✅ shield immediately when you stop fighting and Battle Frenzy has ended

BURNING A CITY DOES NOT MAKE UP FOR LOSING THE CASTLE.

Absent players and secondary accounts must remain shielded.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚫 THE 10 MISTAKES THAT CAN COST US THE KVK

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧠 KEY TAKEAWAYS

PREP CHOOSES THE BATTLEGROUND.

THE CASTLE CHOOSES THE WINNER.

THE TURRETS SHIFT THE BALANCE OF POWER.
