@michael238, if you go to "options" and click "dark knight reset", you can read the description of what they do and how much one affects you. It's probably a good idea to wait for 100k+ before a first reset, since they individually don't do that much.

@Yotsuba83 Awww, but she so obviously has a crush on the General. How cruel, denying her True love... :p
Just kidding. You keep developing the game as best you can, okay?

@lukasbryant: 1 week later you are going to say the oposite. We all have too many troups (even without trying to get them) and too little gold to conquer.
Thank you! I've been working twice as hard too :3 You will all love this visual novel I have programmed. I finally cracked the logic puzzle and can do things such as create 'moods' for Catherine based on how you talk to her oh I can't wait! I also allow you to choose your gender so she will refer to you as a he or she for more personalization hehehe ~Taiga

Well, there goes my save data.
Was well on my way to getting 1million DK too...
Is this a reset via development or by possibly client/computer?
I apologize for your data loss. This is an idle game where people spend weeks to months playing to get their resources good and if we reset people's data or we did anything to cause massive data loss it would inevitably cause the destruction of our game's success all within a split second. If you experience data loss it is related to a number of reasons such as firewall issues, virus scanners, malware... anything at all on the internet that could cause a 'blip' in the serialization and loading of the data being written to your hard drive. We recommend using our "Export" feature located under options and paste that into a notepad file every day before you close the game. Those will always work when loaded back into the game so they are a wonderful way to be sure your data is never lost. ~Taiga

I have heard that you are making more interactions with Catherine. Would Romantic Interactions be a possibility...?
Vote up if you agree.
I likely won't be making the interaction with Catherine a 'romantic' kind of thing. The interaction will be humorous and allow you to learn about Catherine's past and why she wants to conquer the world as well as make world conquest feel more rewarding and 'alive' because right now it's so boring I am ashamed of myself for releasing the game the way it is. ~Taiga

Uhm,i just conquered The Grey Isles for the third or fourth time with around 7357 black knights and 3000+ ready for the reset,but when i came back to the game i had 0 knights,0 army power,nothing conquered,1 troop,no achievements etc.Can someone help me?
How did you conquer grey isles for the third or fourth time with only 7357 dark knights? I don't think it can be done even if you started playing my game immediately after it was released...? ~Taiga

Man, once you get that world onquer bonus for the first time, its becomes alot easier to make DK's. Then, every other World conquer makes that game go by alot faster then the last one.
It builds dark knights. You can view how many dark knights you have gained from the altar under Kingdom Overview or in the options menu. You must RESET for the dark knights to officially add to your kingdom resource gain. ~Taiga

Hey dev, you mentioned OCD on a response here, how about this for OCD update, saw it on another idle: Round up the number of buildings purchased. If I have 102 farms and I use the buy 100 option, 98 farms are bought rounding it up to 200.
Every minute I spend trying to logic solutions in my code for OCD people, is a minute not spent adding new content to the game. If my game is still going strong after I've added ALL the promised content, then I will definitely work on OCD touch-ups as that would be the next logical thing to do. ~Taiga

I know this has been mentioned, but my army is ridiculous and all I'm doing is waiting for more money. I understand that is the only way to slow the game down as it stands, but even with all of the achievements I still have to wait days for a single upgrade. There has to be something you can do.
I have no plans to speed the game up by nerfing costs. I will be, instead, adding more things for you to invest your money in to gain more money. The game lacks variety as it stands so that is the reasonable solution. ~Taiga

Am i just conquering the world ,JUST to give back all the land and burn all of touria's economic buildings to get more dark knights to repeat it?

Guys as stated by the queen herself(Yotsuba) I quote
"I am reworking the entire system to make country conquering more fun rather than just gaining some gold and troops off them I will let you use troops to enhance their benefit as well as adding more structures to build"
So dont forget that the game and its mechanics are still very much just prototypes and probably will be changed completely, so...cut yer yappin generals or ya'll be send to the block and I will have ye heads rollin' by the sun settin'...aherm...that is all...

Country returns aren't so bad. Right now, a few hours after reset with 54mil DKs, I'm making about 36% of my income from the conquered world and I've spent significantly less than 1% of my earned-income since reset getting there. More DKs makes conquering much more valuable.

The conquering system is really crapy. When i went for Grey Isles I needed 336Mil army power to attack. Which was about 2Bil troops. But when i attacked only 500Mil troops did. So i had about 1/4 of the enemy power. Stil won....

@ken030988 To be honest, once you get enough DKs, conquering goes by so fast it gets hard to do it often enough to get maximum number of countries conquered while still remaining as an idle game. Ideally it's only taking me 2 hours to conquer the world, so it's probably feasible at that rate to conquer the word 7 or 8 times in a day, yet I probably only manage half of that.

jvcochran, right. You don't really conquer countries for gold, you do it for the +5 dark knight gain multiplier if you get all of them. That's equivalent to 5 achievements.

Good game overall, however, the return on investment for conquering countries is RIDICULOUSLY poor! For example, by my very rough math (don't complain if I'm off a bit), after conquering Cuoowana, it will take over 61 days to recoup my initial $550M spent to invade, based on the $43,358 that I get every 7-8 seconds.

I just wanted to say I really appreciate all the new updates, and the bug fixes. Thank you for taking time to take care of the game. :)

@DemonHylix: Idle games are supposed to be slow... If you get all the money for all your needs in 1 hour where is the idling? You are supposed to log off, go sleep, wo to work/school/gym/whatsoever then come back. This is an idle game that keeps going while you are logged off, so there is no need to have fast stuff unlike the idle games that you need to keep them runing in a tab.

I've found a bug: when I start the game, all the menus are blank. This can be fixed by scrolling in the menus, but the next time I start the game, they are blank again. This isn't really a gamebreaking bug, but it's a bit annoying.

Do you have the ability to add a new scoreboard type? If so, can you make it to where it shows how many DK someone has. I'm interested and I believe that it may help you too
We had this during game launch, then it filled up with hacked and cheated amounts so we closed it down since I have better things to do than to spend all day every day trying to stop cheating in my game. ~Taiga

random suggestion that may or may not be good: let us control/reduce certain incomes or something to fix my ocd problems ><. 19417210 is a pretty ugly number imo.

Plot twist: Catherine's personality is based on real Taiga (the programmer). This explains why he/she is the one making the programming and dialogs on his/her own.

Catherine is the most adorable Tsundere on Earth. They should make a Manga out of this where she ends up falling in love with the General.

@Hauntred: I think you need try conquering later and at first you need to spend money on buldings and troops. I have 109k Knights and the highest country I can conquer now - is the "Isle of Kalilze" which'll give 7 mill. If it was per 1 second - it can be worth, but... Country give profits only per 9 (or even 12) seconds. My Cathedral give me 17 mill. per nearly 7 seconds. Conquering is not worth it at early stage. You need to beat 700 counts for Farm and Market, it's real and it will give much more gold then.

Honestly, I thought conquering early on (With only 200k knights) was going to be not worth it as the returns were quite low. Then I noticed the later countries gave decent returns for the price and am regretting not conquering them sooner.

@foofoo1190: At first i thought it was a bit weird too but using some logic, there is no way having 0 multiplier means you will get 0 DK no matter how many altars you build, so i thought of a little something that can help to understand (even if its not programmed by the logic of what im about to say, it still works to understand it). Lets say every building have a base multiplier of 1 then the multipliers from DK, achievments, etc are added to that base. For example, the altar, you will get something like: Dark knights per bar = [2(1+achievments multiplier + world conquest multiplier), where "2" is the base value or altar, "1" is the base multiplier. That way if your achievments and conquest multiplier are 0 you will have [2(1+0+0) = 2(1) = 2. The idea is to have this imaginary base multiplier "1" and then just add w/e you have as bonus multipliers.
