Kingdoms Unite Game Help
Overview
The purpose of the game is to conquer the whole world (and have fun doing it).
The world is made up by 9x9 regions. You are a warrior in one of these regions. When you grow strong enough and reach certain level, you will be able to unite people in your region and establish a kingdom and become king of your kingdom. With a strong kingdom, you will be able to conquer the world piece by piece until you conquer them all and become the king of the world.
You see the following icons in the game and they are explained in details later.

Kingdom tab:
This tab shows the warriors reside in your region and kingdom related information if there is a kingdom. You can also set kingdom parameters if you are king or official of the kingdom. When you are in a kingdom, you will pay tax on your gold earnings. The tax rate decides the percentage of earnings you pay to the kingdom. You also access kingdom tasks in kingdom tab. Kingdom tasks are tasks shared by every citizen of the kingdom. They bring benefit to the whole kingdom and every citizen. When there is no kingdom exists in your region, you can create one in the kingdom tab if your level is high enough and you have enough gold.
Task tab:
Besides kingdom tasks which are shared by all citizens of the kingdom, there are also personal tasks separated into warrior tasks and army tasks. Warrior tasks are completed by the warrior without troops. Army tasks are completed by troops led by the warrior. Warrior receives gold and experience when he performs tasks successfully. Completion of tasks yields special bonus reward. From time to time, there will also be special army tasks available. These are tougher tasks shared by all warriors (world tasks). Besides usual gold and experience rewards, the warrior completes the special world task will receive bigger special bonus.
Merc tab:
You can hire other warriors as mercenaries (mercs). Mercenaries provide added bonus to your own troop status during battles. You pay your mercenaries according to their wages. The more a warrior is hired the higher his wage goes. When you first hire a warrior, you also pay a deposit equals to 24 hour wage. If he is hired away from you, you will receive the deposit back. But if you fire the warrior, he will receive that deposit as severance payment.
If you have no gold on hand to pay your mercenaries when the payroll is due, your buried gold will be dug out automatically to cover it. If your buried gold is not enough to cover payroll either, all your mercenaries will be fired (and you lose all your deposits).

You can use your magical items to boost your status or give the magical items to other players as gift (permanent item can only be given if you have more than one to prevent “borrowing”).
Game play
Attacks
There are two types of attacks, raid and assault. When you raid another warrior and win the battle, your troops will bring back gold base on their loot stats and numbers. Your opponent will lose gold base on how much they have and how much you take. When you assault another warrior, battle is fiercer and both sides will lose more troops but your troops will not bring back any loot even if your side wins. Naturally your opponent will not lose any gold during assault. You also gain experience from battles you win, both raid and assault. Please note, there is a distance penalty in attacks. The further you are from your opponent, the weaker your troops will become. When opponent is too far, you can't attack him at all.
Troop special ability
Certain troops have special abilities. These special abilities may get activated during battle. Different troop/ability have different chance of activation. The special abilities are explained below.
Looting: double the loot in a winning raid.
Blocking: win the defense without troop loss.
Ambush: no troop loss in winning battle. (also effective in defense)
Discover: double experience gain in winning battle. (also effective in defense)
Doublestrike: double enemy troop loss in winning battle. (also effective in defense)
Raiding: double enemy gold loss in winning raid.
Stampede: kill all enemy troops in winning assault.
Terrorize: reduce enemy warrior energy to 0 in winning assault. (also effective in defense)
Destroy: destroy a random troop building in winning assault.
Special abilities are listed after the troop attributes. The chance of activation is also listed.
Note special ability affects all troops when activated, not just the troop type having the special ability. More buildings of the same troop type increase the chance of activation.
Warrior actions
Besides leading the troops to attack the enemy, warrior can perform actions alone. There are 2 actions warrior can perform, steal and bribe. Steal, if successful, will take enemy's buried gold. Bribe, if successful, will lure away enemy's troop with gold.
Establish kingdom
You (the warrior) level up as you gain more experience. Each time you get to a new level, you can choose to increase warrior status or receive wishes. When your level is high enough you can establish your kingdom if your location has no kingdom yet and you have enough gold. You are the king of your kingdom and you can appoint other citizens in your kingdom as officials or even abdicate the throne to someone else.
Once a kingdom is established, all citizens (including king and officials) of that kingdom will have to pay tax from their loot and task earnings. King and officials can set kingdom's tax rate, along with the kingdom's map color, immigration policy, and kingdom description.
Abolish kingdom
The king can abolish the kingdom if he chooses to do so. When a kingdom is abolished, all lands of the kingdom become freeland and all officials along with the king become citizen. All kingdom task progresses are lost along with kingdom gold.
Moving
You can move from one region to another, as long as the destination region allows you to move in. To move to a region, click that region on the world map to bring up the information tab, then click "move here". There is a fee for the move base on the distance and your level.
Conquer
The ultimate goal of this game is to unite (conquer) all the kingdoms and regions in the world. King and officials can declare conquer on any region does not belong to your kingdom (practically, you can't conquer regions too far away from you because your warriors won't be able to attack it). After you declare the conquer, there will be a 12 hour delay before the conquer starts. During conquer, warriors in your kingdom can no longer raid anyone, assault will be the only attack option. If you manage to destroy all defense in the target region, which means kill all defending troops and exhaust all defending warriors' energy, then the region becomes part of your kingdom and the conquer ends. King and officials can also stop conquer at any time if they choose to.
When one kingdom finally conquers all regions on the world map, it wins the game. The king and officials of the winning kingdom will be heavily rewarded and the game will reset. When the game resets, all players will start from 0 again. You will lose all your gold and mercs. Your wishes and magical items will remain with you into the new round. Each player will also be rewarded a game completion bonus based on their level as below,
Level10 -
Level9 -
Level8 -
Level7 -
Level6 and below -
