KoC Morale Transfer Log

Click image for larger size

In case you missed the news on the KoC homepage, players are now able to view who sent morale and when. The in-game recruiter now features a link (Morale Transfer Log) where players get to see the details on their morale transfer activity. Be reminded that the details only include morale transfers that were made/received after the feature has been implemented. You can access the morale transfer log from your Recruit Page (top image).

Your Morale Transfer Log should look like this: (special mention to dim3nsion and Winsdor)

SAB List (Updated)

Too many noobs attacking me ONLINE and being DEFENDED. I kindly asked them to send morale for soldiers lost but I mostly got rude replies instead. Random sabs and ALL sab attempts will not be tolerated. I have been building my defense to get a decent TBG (currently at 5M gold). As soon as I get my target number of soldiers I will be retraining most of my soldiers into spies. ALL 50,000+ of them! Here's my list of NOOBS who'll see me in their logs in the coming weeks. If yours is on the list, CONGRATULATIONS!

KoC on April Fools Day

Taken from KoC Komepage, posted April 1, 2009:

Due to the feedback players have given us, we will begin systematically implementing every suggestion we've received in the past six years. We will begin with a few of these changes and run them until the end of Age 11, then will evaluate player comments and conerns when deciding whether to leave them as part of the game before testing the next set of changes. Here is the first set of gameplay changes for Age 11:

* New Weapon: Magic Missile - Similar to the Blackpowder Missle, but with twice the strength. Undead equipped with Magic Missile receive a 25% bonus when using this weapon against the darkness.

* New User Advisor: Munchkin - By popular demand, we have added a feature that will automatically buy weapons for you each gold turn, will automatically sabotage anyone who attacks you and has that attack defended (until they send you 1000 morale), and will periodically browse the battlefield, attacking and reconning likely targets based on a treasury/DA evaluation. Note: since the Munchkin is still a relatively new and untested feature, we have not yet been able to prevent it from attacking allies or friends.

* Attack Percentages: Instead of random attack and defense damages in battles, you will always attack and defend with 100% strength. Instead, the information gained from recons will be random. How much do you trust your spies? Note: Munchkin takes this change into account in its calculations.

* Virtual Friends: If you have already exhausted your circle of friends, neighbors, and coworkers in a quest for new officers, you can now register up to 10 "virtual friends" - computer players who will "register" as your officers and are controlled by Munchkin decision-making technology. They will also periodically communicate with you and ask (quiz) you about Kings of Chaos rules. If you don't get the answer right or don't respond, they will ditch you as a commander and join the chain of your biggest enemy.

* Premium Accounts: Due to the economy, Kings of Chaos can no longer simply be a free game. We have created "premium" accounts, which will have the following advantages over a regular account:
o God mode: For one week each Age you can turn on God Mode. During this time you cannot be attacked or sabotaged.
o 400 Babies: Unit production you purchase will be half the cost and produce five times as much as regular unit production.
o SuperMunchkin: You will have access to developmental gameplaying technology, as well as invites to future beta test ages and armchair-access to the admins' ears with your suggestions. Continue reading here.
