Clash Of Kings (COK) is one of the best game online today. Millions all over the world is hooked to this game. Young, old, single, perverts, trollers, racists name it all you'll find them in there. But the problem is that there are very few guides available online for beginners and starters. Even if there are guides and tips they are too complicated. So, here is an elaborate effort for newbies.
1. CASTLE: It is obviously the most important building in the game. The castle level will unlock levels for various buildings in the game and eventually your troops level. The most common mistake newbies commit is following the auto generated 'recommended tips' there-by eventually wasting time trying to upgrade all the buildings to the same level. Here is my take; Focus only on those buildings which are required to upgrade the castle. The rest can wait(by which I mean not forever).
2. FARMS: As you continue to upgrade your castle level make sure you keep track of your farms. The farm levels will decide your 'Food Income' and if the income is lower than the upkeep (the amount of food your troops consume per hour-yes they consume for real) you will never be able to collect and store enough food for your upgrades. In the game, only 10(ten) farms can be built, so make sure you build them all and they are producing enough to balance out the 'income versus upkeep' ratio. The upkeep of your troops can be reduced by researching the science- Hard Track under City Development which unlocks at college level 14.
3. SAWMILL: The good news is that your troops don't consume wood so it is not absolutely necessary to have your sawmill level high except in the case of upgrading 'Fortress' which is at castle level 14. Therefore the number of sawmills isn't that crucial, I suggest 4-5 sawmills. Same with IRON and MITHRIL mines.
4. MILITARY TENT: The level of the tents decide the number of troops that can be trained at a time. So, it is always nice to have a decent level thereby enabling faster training of troops. 5(five) Military tents would be a good number to have.
5. HOSPITAL: The purpose of a hospital is to accommodate your troops which are wounded in battle. As long as there is space for your troops, they won't die but when the limit is reached your troops will die. So it is imperative that you have a minimum of 6(five) hospitals and make sure that the hospital levels are high enough. The capacity can also be increased by researching science- Medical Facilities which is under City Development.
Please note that when you attack a castle your troops don't get wounded, they die unlike attacking occupied tiles (food, wood, iron, mithril or gold) where all your defeated troops are wounded i.e., as long as your hospital has the capacity.
6. TROOPS : There are four buildings for troops production namely- Siege Engine Factory, Range, Barracks and Stables. These four buildings and their level decides the level of troops you can train. Different troops are unlock at different levels.
Troop Load: It is the amount of resources a single unit can carry. Be it gathering resources or looting from other players the 'troop load' of your troops will decide how much resources you can gather or carry. The troop load is higher for higher level of troops and among all the varieties of troop Seize Engines have the highest troop load capacity. Troop Load can also be increased by researching 'Supply Cart' under City Development and also by learning the Lord skill 'Troop Load' under Combat.
Infantries are the vanguard to your troops, they act as a shield be it defending or attacking so in my opinion it is best to pump your Lord Skills into Infantries. There are defense and attacking infantries and you can check it out from the barracks where the details of whether they are defensive or attacking are given in the new version of the game unlike the old ones.
Archers in my opinion and many others' are the best attacking troops, so it is at an advantage to focus research and skills on archers.
The main boost to your troop attacking and defensive strength/power is the Lord Skill Points which you earn or gain whenever your Lord Level gains a level-up, which is done so by gaining experience. The experience is gained whenever you upgrade a building or complete a quest. However, the best way to earn experience is by killing monsters. So, it is imperative that your Lord Skill Points are invested to 'Combat'.
7. FARM CASTLES: The concept of farm castle is not new but new to many, I mean come to think of it, who would have thought of such a thing? Perhaps the credit goes to the Asians who are populating the game?
The idea is simple, the farm castles are for farming resources only there-by enabling the process of upgrade for the main castle faster. The number of farm castles one can have depends on how much time one can invest. You just need to create one google account for each Farm Castle. The best guide to build a farm castle are youtube videos online https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wMiOBQsCuKQ
P.S: This is just a brief guide which is not perfect by any means. Started working on in to help friends in my alliance. Happy Gaming!
