In Lords & Knights, battles, conquests, and the use of various game features can sometimes lead to confusing situations or unexpected results. Below are some common questions and answers related to attacks, silver, battle outcomes, and other features to help you navigate these challenges.
My Conquest Failed. Where is My Silver?
- If your conquest fails, silver may not be returned because conquests often involve a one-time cost for resources (like silver) to send units to battle. However, if the conquest was unsuccessful, you generally won’t get back the resources that were used to send troops. In some cases, the game may offer partial refunds depending on the circumstances.
I Lost the Fight – Why?
- There are several reasons why you might lose a battle:
- Troop Strength: Your troops may not have been strong enough compared to your opponent’s forces.
- Tactics: You may have selected the wrong unit types or attack formation.
- Spy Information: If you didn’t scout your opponent first, you might have attacked without knowing the true strength of their defenses.
Nightmode
- Nightmode allows you to pause certain actions or prevent attacks at night. If you want to avoid being attacked while you’re away, Nightmode can help keep your defenses intact and prevent resource depletion.
Fake Attacks
- Some players use fake attacks to deceive their opponents. This is a tactic where they send small, weak forces to make it look like a real attack but without the intent to conquer. Be cautious and make sure to check spy reports to verify the strength of incoming forces.
I Lost More Than 50% of My Troops Even Though I Had More Than 100 Units! Why Did This Happen?
- High troop losses could be due to several factors:
- Underestimating Enemy Strength: The enemy may have had a larger or better-equipped force.
- Tactics: Certain units may have been weak against the enemy’s specific unit types.
- Spy Reports: If you didn’t gather enough intelligence before attacking, you could have been at a disadvantage.
- Morale or Leadership Issues: Some games feature morale mechanics where troops will perform poorly if not led properly or if they’re demoralized.
Support Bridge
- The Support Bridge is a feature that allows you to send support to other players’ castles or fortresses. It is a strategic tool to bolster your allies’ defenses during an attack. Keep in mind that the timing and unit types you send are crucial to ensuring effective support.
Support Bridge – Color Scheme
- The color scheme of the Support Bridge indicates the status or readiness of the support. For example, green might mean the support is on its way or already completed, while red could indicate that the support didn’t reach the destination or failed for some reason.
Selecting Transits
- Transits refer to the movement of units between locations. When selecting transits, ensure that you’re sending the right units to the right locations and that the arrival times are correctly calculated.
Update 6.12.0
- Update 6.12.0 introduced new mechanics, adjustments, and improvements. Some of the major changes might affect battle synchronization, unit capabilities, or the interface. Make sure to read the patch notes to familiarize yourself with any new features or changes that might impact your gameplay.
My Troops Were Too Weak. What Happened?
- If your troops were too weak, it could be due to:
- Low-level troops or insufficient numbers.
- Poor unit selection: Some enemies may have strong counters to your army composition.
- Troop Health: If your units were already damaged or weakened from previous battles, they might not have been at full strength.
I Won the Fight But Another Player Got the Castle. What Happened?
- In some cases, if another player has stronger support or timing, they can take the castle even if you win the battle. Attack synchronization can sometimes cause confusion, especially in cases where multiple players are attacking at the same time.
Why Didn’t My Spy Return with a Report?
- If your spy doesn’t return with a report, it could be due to:
- Spy failure: Your spy might have been captured or killed during the mission.
- No report: Sometimes, no information can be gathered due to enemy defenses or failed missions.
I Lost All My Castles, Can I Start Again?
- If you lose all your castles, you can still rebuild and recover. You might be able to start fresh by regaining small villages or fortresses. However, you’ll have to re-establish your resources and defenses. You can also use your alliance to help rebuild.
Attack Synchronization
- Attack synchronization refers to the timing of multiple attacks. If you’re coordinating an attack with others, the timing of when troops arrive at the target is crucial. Even small delays can affect whether you successfully conquer the target.
Action with the Last Formation
- The last formation is the previous unit setup you used in your last battle or action. You can reuse the same formation for new attacks if it worked well, but it’s important to adjust based on the specific battle conditions.
Send Spy
- To send a spy, select the target castle or fortress and send a spy unit to gather information about the defenses. It’s important to scout your target first to ensure you’re not attacking blindly.
Send Resources
- You can send resources to other castles or players as part of a trade or support mission. This can help fortify allies or replenish resources in a new castle.
Attack Castles
- Attacking castles requires a careful strategy. You’ll need to ensure that you have the right balance of troops, siege weapons, and support units. Be sure to check spy reports before launching an attack.
Support Castles
- Sending support to castles within your alliance can bolster defenses. This is especially important if an ally is under siege or needs reinforcement.
Attack Planner / Ask for Help
- The attack planner helps you schedule and coordinate attacks. If you’re unsure of how to proceed, you can ask for help from your alliance or other experienced players to formulate the best strategy.
Buy Castle / Fortress
- You can purchase a new castle or fortress with in-game currency or by meeting certain requirements. This can be a great way to expand your kingdom or obtain a strategic location.
Selection of the Unit Type
- When selecting unit types for a battle, make sure you’re using the right troops for the job. Archers, cavalry, infantry, and siege units all have different strengths and weaknesses.
What Do I Need to Bear in Mind If I’d Like to Conquer 2 Fortresses Simultaneously?
- To conquer 2 fortresses at the same time, you need to:
- Ensure your troops and resources are distributed effectively between both attacks.
- Plan your timing so the attacks are synchronized.
- Make sure you have enough support units for both sieges.
Arrival Time Calculator
- The arrival time calculator helps you plan the exact arrival time of your troops and siege weapons. Timing is critical for successful attacks, so make sure to use this tool to coordinate with your alliance.
Relocate Castle
- Relocating your castle can be done using in-game features. When relocating, be sure to:
- Relocate to a strategic area.
- Ensure that units stationed in the old castle are moved to the new location.
Using the Feature
- When using new features like transits or support bridges, ensure you understand the mechanics and how they interact with the rest of your kingdom’s operations.
Units Stationed in the Relocated Castle
- After relocating your castle, you’ll need to make sure that any units stationed in the original location are moved or reassigned to your new castle.
Attacking Units
- Attacking units are used to engage in battle with enemy troops or defenses. Make sure to use the appropriate unit type based on the battle conditions.
Transits
- Transits refer to the movement of units or resources between locations. Be sure to adjust your timing and movements to avoid delays in transit.
Manually Delayed Transits
- You can manually delay transits to coordinate the arrival of reinforcements or to execute surprise attacks. Be strategic in your planning to ensure success.
Battle World 4 – Special Conditions
- In Battle World 4, there may be special conditions that affect gameplay, such as unique resource bonuses or battle rules. Stay informed about these conditions to adapt your strategy.
Special Abilities
- Some units or leaders have special abilities that can change the outcome of battles. Understand the special abilities of your troops to maximize their effectiveness in combat.
Summary
These are common issues, features, and strategies you might encounter while playing Lords & Knights. To succeed, always scout your opponents, choose the right unit types, and manage your timing effectively.
