When we have several spots in the wild, is it possible to set which spot we are sent to when clicking on the big button? I nearly never want to go to the last one, so I need to manually select the spot each time.

I unlocked crusade, but the step count is not right. It starts with 0/6(destroy 4towers), but when I spawn a soldier, it becomes 2/6 Max reward, so I'm always 7/8 medium reward... Another problem is only pawns can burn the tower, not bishop, not rook. Also , the quest asked me to destroy 4towers, but when I burn 3towers, to finish button comes up. However when I press it, it says sthblike not all towers were destroyed , restarting the crusade
Hi. Yes, this bug is known and enqueued to be fixed. In crusade and in the PvP area only pawns can destroy for the sake of balance. So its designed like that and didnt change for a year. Some quests are not fully polished, so after one failed quest and require to restart you already know what to do :) One day all of those bugs will be fixed (just probably except the pawn issue - it will always be the demolisher, not the other figures)

I am lost in the wild, I need an indicator that shows my castle and my soldiers, better be ones that I can click and brings me to that square
sorry thats too difficult to make :) Not planning at this moment. Let it be there, its just a tiny gold amount - maybe one day you need gold asap and then you can explore to find your pieces. There are marks on the grund - when you travel, you conquer fields, so you can follow those.

PvP is pointless for newer/smaller players. All the veteran/larger players alliance up and take out everyone else. Do the bare minimum in the PvP location then try to get to wilds, at least you have some chance there before a veteran/larger player decides to take a long trek into your area, even though there's plenty of space. Get the achievements and get out, no one plays, yet the game can have lag spikes.
Yes, I agree. This PvP area had to be the most entertaining thing, but in the real world scenario it failed. It looked awesome in my head. I didnt know that it can be conquered and ruled by a few strong players. Tried many versions of it, just this one now is the best and still bad.

At first I felt the game was a bit clunky, but after playing for a few weeks I'm enjoying it. There are some QOL changes I'd like to see such as when moving across several fields, if they are empty they could be claimed without having to step on each one individually, although I understand that would pose some challenges to the # turns etc...
But seeing active dev on a game with badges makes me happy, it's not just another cash-grab game, there's dedication and that improves my rating for sure.
Yep, apocalypse preparation started, server resets in 3 weeks and after it you have again 8 weeks to play in another way. Anyway, even if you start now, in 3 weeks is possible to conquer 15k Fields. The Apocalypse still allows you to continue playing.

I know you're working on it, but the lag is probably the biggest killer of the game for me, as it makes it difficult to even write this comment! Makes me think there could be a memory leak or something...
hmm strange. As there is no lag registered on the server. 1 chess piece movement in the server takes 74 milliseconds on average. When players had lag, it was more than 300ms. If you say its difficult to write this message, then yea, maybe something crashes your PC. It might be kongregate advertising also. But you play on 2D mode in the game, so it maximally reduces the load. also if you play on the smaller screen, it reduces even more. But its really hard to say whats wrong. Checking yur account i dont see anything wrong there. Or maybe you are using some stranger device? Which one did you use?

yeah i see at least five other peoples whose pieces have bugged in the same way, cant attack them and they dont show up till u get close

found a bug, looks like when you run out of your attacks in the cave ur units will become trapped on top of where they last attacked if you attack when you cant anymore
Hmm strange, as usually the fights were working even if you attack too fast. Maybe there was one buggy situation which will fix intself then the server is restarted. I think i cannot reproduce that situation as i remember was debugging that maxed-attacks cave attack until it was acceptable.
it is automatical and on events tab you can find apocalypse button, which says there is more 18 days until it starts and it lasts another 2 weeks extra

While the mechanics are interesting, the game largely consists of getting obliterated in any PvP situation by players who have orange equipment and/or pay to win, making them immune to game resets. Extremely unfun.
In fact "beans" is a totally free player and was rank1 for a while. If you start together with everyone else at the 1st day - you have basically all possibilities to become stronger even than the ones wtih orange items.

I played for a few days and got ~2850 fields, and in PVP/Maze the counter was going up very well but since then when I get new Maze/PVP fields it no longer increases. What am I missing?
I see something wrong with kongregates statistics submission. It will be fixed anytime soon. Sometimes kongregate is flooded with those statistic messages and seems it stops receiving. But your progress isnt lost

Everything in this game is much slower than it should be. The cherry on top? Missions asking you to just "walk x steps"...now it's asking me to walk 50 steps. Why? How does this add anything to the game? Especially to a game where walking is so painfully slow.

When a unit is selected, but a differnt unit finishes their action (like moving or fighting), then the other unit is deselected. Wholly unnecessary.

Very unique game, it has a lot of things to do, and the dev seems very active fixing bugs and adding new features, I will enjoy my staying.

this is a weird game with chess pieces not moving like chess pieces, mechanics that are not clear from the beginning, like how to rise the kings health in campaign, strange lags and some weird bugs like pieces moving and then being set back to an earlier field. Also I keep toggling full screen even though I don't want to play in full screen mode... Also funny what comments the dev adds - but thumbs up he still seems to work on this game
I'm working to improve the game and make the game more clear. Improving tutorial, fixing bugs and i hope one day it will be clear enough. The game is really fun after some time, but the beginning is not easy yet to understand as the idea is unique. There are some lags and pieces moving back - it's because of lag. And actually I didn't expect that someone would be annoyed by the full-screen button. Gonna need to find a better place for it.

When I dfeat an enemy, why don't I automatically conquer the field it was standing on? Instead, I have to move to an adjacent field and then move onto it once more...

I am in campaign mission 8 now, but I have no clue how to progress. My king simply cannot get past that long row of enemy towers. This game has a nice premise (I like weird ideas), but severely lacks explanation.
You need to keep continuing at Maze area to level-up. Also upgrade/level-up your gear and add skill-points. This will boost the health for the king and you can continue on the campaign. Also keep building towers to protect from enemy invasion in home area.
In PVP area you can conquer other player's Capital city - and all enemy PVP structures & fields will belong to you. PvP area is cruel as you may lose your conquered zone within night. But you can start PvP area again after moving 500 times in Maze area and revenge your opponent!

I don't seem to be able to proceed. When I go to the "home area", there is nothing to do, as there is no king. And the maze doesn't seem to lead anywhere either.
to unlock the 2nd Maze you need to burn all Walls, conquere all 500 Maze fields. And the home area has a "restart missing" at the right. In home you should build-up your towers to protect your castle from the attacker NPC king.

Do I get this right? Progress reset every 2 months, and the developer says that you can get the impossible badge with "big dedication" in about 3 weeks? That sounds like with anything less than "big dedication", this is going to be super frustrating. Turns me off right from the start.
Look at the highscores. Server opened at February 12th and the rank1 with Fields already having 21600 Fields. Server restarts at April 12th. So it isnt that impossible to collect 15.000 Fields if you play since the beginning of the server. The "impossible" badge is used to be completed within 6 months of gameplay. So withing 6 months you have like 3 attempts to complete it. It's possible to collect 1000 Fields/4 hours in a day. So 15k Fields = 60 hours of gameplay. So its enough to play for 1 hour everyday if you play since the server beginning.

Wtf am I looking at, it seems like there's a really great game buried beneath a layer of complete confusion. I could see plenty of people running from this, but I'm enjoying it
Thanks! Finally noticed my 4 years work :D
Considering that you played just for 30 minutes, you will see that every few hours here is a new content, new area with totally new rules and finally a server apocalypse event which rewards with cross-server stuff and leads to the server restart where everyone starts over, but with knowledge already and some benefits from all the seasons completed.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
does server reset reset almost all of your progress? it would be BAD for hard badge grinder cuz imagine you almost get the badge and the server reseted and you are doomed
Yes, it does reset with all of your progress. Only cross-server orange items remain and global points, gained from the apocalypse. But now this badge became "impossible". So if you start at the server beginning, you will have 2 months and it should be enough for that achievement, if playing consistently. In fact, to achieve this badge with big dedication, its possible within just 3 weeks, mainly in the Wilds area

There's apparently different game modes, but no instructions, no goals, no easy way to read through what these damned red dots are obscuring. This is a bad game.
Its an MMO game with goals to continue with the Campaign and unlock rook/knight/queen chess figures, unlock other areas and the ultimate goal is to survive the apocalypse, get cross-server/real-money-valued items. It's an MMO game, you can't jsut know everything in just 15 minutes of gameplay. I would understand blaming after playing for 5+ hours, but with 15 minutes of game experience your comment doesnt look fair to be honest

Following the tutorial - stuck in level 3? I just press the red buttons until it tells me to restart mission, rinse and repeat.
I see. I've logged into yuor account and i see you didnt follow the tutorial fully and i dont know how you reached 3rd campaign without building all the defensive towers. So you keep losing, as i never encountered such outcome, that someone might reach this 3rd campaign without all towers built.. But thanks for showing me this, starting to fix this now

Some errors occur: 1. Daily quests: i can click "gain 60 SP" over and over again ("gained 60 SP"), but when trying to spend them... i don't have them at all (red dot is stuck on "daily" though (same goes for Experience and Upgrade Stones. The 36 ... stopped being available after about 50 clicks or so). 2. On Settings - Account: when i went to visit Discord, my game screen ended being fullscreen, and i'm now unable to find the button to go fullscreen again (game is now even smaller then when first started, and before i went fullscreen!).
Yep, sometimes happends like that and im still hunting this rare bug. Game reload might help about that daily quest reward. and 2. - full screen is available also after the game reload on kongregate. But seems its a common issue and will work to fix that (i disabled it in purpose, to not disturb after clicking on full-screen the first time)
you can go to settings and select Rook to enable its progression and increase Rook move length over time. So the next time you will not lose in that situation :)
I have not added any story as 95% of players dont read anything anyway :D Usually in MMO-RPG games there is a story behind and you click buttons to complete it. But here - needs just to play and survive the apocalypse, which starts in 1 month. Then server restarts, but you are stronger on the next servers, because of cross-server rewards.
Cool, at least this helped. I was avoiding bossy tutorials at all costs just to make players able to complete the mission if there is some bug. As this is a MMO game and there are hundreds of unique situations which i cannot reproduce and other players might encounter. But as i know 2nd mission is possible to be buggy, i will try to break the game to reproduce that part also. Maybe you just did something unexpected to me.

Level 2 might be bugged. I'm just clicking where the tutorial tells me to, but I still lose every retry when the enemy reaches my castle.

Not sure if it's just me but for some reason I can't seem to complete campaign levels most of the time. I follow the tutorial, I get to the other castle, and then it softlocks me there until I reset. So far I've just been doing this until it randomly lets me past and flashes the win screen. Seems like a cool game with a good idea, and I like a lot of the features in it, just wish I didn't get this weird bug/mess it up somehow.
Hi. Is it still problematic? I have fixed many of those problems quite fast and not sure or is it really fixed for everyone. As i also saw the same problems, was able to reproduce and now after fix seems good.

This game is interesting! Found a small issue with it a few minutes into playing, one seems unintentional, the other seems like a bug. When burning a wall with a pawn in the maze I decided to use a bishop to attack a unit nearby, and there was a tower nearby too. When the pawn finished burning the wall, the tower stopped attacking it (Like expected), but then just forgot the bishop exists, and sat there doing nothing as I killed the pawn next to the tower. The thing that seems unintentional was that I was using a bishop to move around PVP mode and get fields to build towers on, and I noticed that when using its extended diagonal move, the tile the bishop skipped over would not be claimed. This would make sense for a knight, but its a bit confusing when it happens to a bishop. Again, I dont know if that last one was intentional or not, or even a bug at all, but just a tad bit confusing

LOL!!!! What a horrible game! I think i wrote that cause i felt bad! I dont see how to even get to other castle sorry
Hi. Sorry for that bad experience. I'm trying my best and fixing this game. If you could describe the problem - i will at least fix that part to the other players. I've tested that game beginning hundreds of times and looking for any suggestions how to improve it :)
Thanks for the feedback :) I see you played for 4 hours - thats cool! Just yea, your account looks really boring - you didnt find the interesting parts of the game yet, rushed to upgrade the maze without maxing up the Home area to unlock more areas - including the most fun having PVP area, without upgrading Abilities or using other features.
But i can say, that the someones who played this game for a few weeks already found an orange items, which is having a real money value! This game is still early and not many players have these items, its still quite easy to find them compared how hard it will be later.
This game lasts for 2 months only - and then its a fresh start for everyone. Only the ones who have orange items found - keep them, thats why orange items have a big real money value, but its hard to find- needs only luck and grind - nothing else helps.
Yes!
1) In Kongregate, during gameplay at the top-left side is a full-screen button.
