unrequested advice about the game
The Achievers, who enjoy chasing points, will drop back rather quickly if they taper off.I could never outrank someone without spending more money, more time, and/or play smarter.
P.S. One could of course buy Diamonds to acquire KP ... but imho diamonds can be invested in far better ways by those willing to spend money on buying them
My advice would be to use your current city as a test run, then when a new world opens up, you can use what you've learned to do better next time.
I do think a little more appreciation for those who have taken the time to engage in this topic with you would not be a bad thing... Your post is about not being as far ahead as others in terms of research and (what you call) a limitation in terms of KP. As players who have progressed further than yourself, it's only natural that we would offer advice which backs up what we are saying.
I couldn't possible tell you if a new world will be opening up, but if the US servers are anything to go by, there are 5 game worlds there. Hopefully a new one will open up though as I'd like a fresh start on a new game world.Will a new world open up? Is there any information about that?
I have started an account on the US server which I don't use now as I am concentrating on my city here. However, I did not enter those game worlds thinking that I was disadvantaged in any way due to a late start. In my eyes, it would not be fair for someone to start on a world nine or so months after it went live getting extra KP. As I said earlier, the game is designed to be played at a pace to suit the player; you cannot expect to progress faster just because you started later. You don't buy a video game which has been out for a while and expect to to progress through it faster just because you didn't buy it when it was released. The same applies here.Would you start over with a new account? Apparently you and Weirdsister think it's fun.
No one is saying you don't know how to play, but you cannot deny that you said you were a new player who started the game 10 days ago. You posted in a forum which is open to the public and to anyone to comment on. By saying it the way you did, it came across as quite rude as we have taken the time to offer our opinions and guidance on the matter.I said "unrequested advice" because I didn't post this under Discussions
I've started playing about 10 days ago. It's a nice game, I especially love the battles. My villagers are happy, the resources are plentiful. The only thing limiting my progress is research. I'm not going to pay €3000 to buy the knowledge points those who started a year ago received for free. Please make it easier for me to catch up with them. (I might pay, but not like that; and I'm not going to pay at all if I don't have any chance of caching up to top 100 players.)
Hello Kenar, It seems you did not fully understand my previous post, so I will clarify it a bit more for you:
Your presupposition that those who started a year ago received Knowledge Points for free is not accurate, therefore your suggestion is based on quicksand, not facts.
To me, it seems you can't think clearly. And the really scary part is that you're a moderator.
OK, let me put it like this: Any player who doesn't play completely silly receives 24 knowledge points every day, for free. And those who are in the top 1000 didn't play completely silly, so at least them received the hourly knowledge points for free.

Somehow, you're failing to understand anything. I could never outrank someone without spending more money, more time, and/or play smarter.
Sigh...
Yes, indeed it is late. I do not see however how this would make me scary or how that should muddle my brain
Any player that actually plays the game gets 1 KP per hour to spend at their leisure. When not logging in to the game any player might lose some of those hourly rewarded KP's. This hourly awarded 'free' KP is only available for a certain amount of time, 10 hours being the maximum (the KP bar can hold 10 KP max.). Anyone logging in after this maximum time period might lose 1 or more KP.
These KP are not really 'free', they are an award for being active in the game.
Well, angry moderators ban people or at least lock up threads. It's a lot more than what the angry mob can do.
Yes... I was talking about people playing the game, while you're calling them active players. The same thing. They could receive 24 free knowledge points per day, and most of them did in fact receive them. It's a lot harder to catch up with them by starting now. And it's impossible to catch up with those who also played well. But you, and occasionally individuals from the angry mob, don't seem to understand, or forget, or like to forget, that the main difficulty (by far!) in catching up are those 24 * 360 KPs. No amount of "playing the game strategically, trading well, spending a lot of time, and [...] support of their Fellowship" is going to come close to "playing the game strategically, trading well, spending a lot of time, and [...] support of their Fellowship" + 24 * 360 KPs. That is, with the current game mechanics.
I don't know, would they? I've only read about one such thing, the Tome of Secrets and I don't know how much KP it would provide.
- Why don't you think the new AW will go part way to what you are asking?
Would you start over with a new account? Apparently you and Weirdsister think it's fun. Your extensive experience should also help you.
It's a lot harder to catch up with them by starting now.
n point of fact, it's a lot EASIER to catch up with them by starting now.
I'm not sure how you understood the question, but it was if you wanted to start in this world, now.Yip, I have another city on another server at Arendyll. So, I have one human city and one elven city. Ironically I am ranked #485 with a similar point score, which is the other reason your suggestion lacks merit.
And if another world opens up I will play there too, especially since I will have the time considering how long it take to build/scout/upgrade anything.
