In Kingdoms Of Camelot you construct or research and every troop you build requires resources.
There are four types of physical resources produced by buildings in the field view:
* Food produced by farms,
* Wood produced by sawmills,
* Stone produced by quarries, and,
* Ore produced by mines.
edit Increasing resource production
There are a number of ways you can increase your resource production:
1. Build more production buildings such as farms, sawmills, etc in your Fields.
2. Level up your production buildings.
3. Make sure you have enough population to staff all your buildings.
4. Conquer the appropriate type of wildernesses to increase production.
For example, grassland increases food production by 5% per level.
5. Research technologies related to each resource, such as Fertilizer, Logging,
Stone working and Mining.
6. Purchase and use production-related shop items.
7. Appoint a Knight as a Steward, increasing your resource production.
This is the most immediately useful increase. If you have no Steward, appointing one will immediately increase the production of all your resources by 50% of the base production. Each subsequent 'resourcefulness' skill point will increase the production of the resources by an extra 1%, so for example, if my knight's resourcefulness was 103, my base production + knight production = 203%. The Knight's bonus doesn't affect other bonuses (such as wildernesses) though.
For a temporary resource boost, you can also purchase resources in the Market.
One possible strategy for maximizing resources can be found here.
edit Moving resources between cities
If you are having problems moving resources (food, wood, stone and ore) between your cities, make sure you have at least one of the resource buildings in the destination city. For example, there must be at least one quarry in the destination city in order to receive a delivery (transport, reinforce or reassign) of stone.
Resource Calculator
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?emumzjm5n5a
Program needed to run: Open Office or Microsoft Excel (Spreadsheet)
What it does:
Supplies you with an overview similar to the one in the game. This is more so that you can make quick forecasts for what troops you want and how you'd need to stack your resources ahead of time.
Instructions:
* Input the amount of resources, wildernesses, troops, etc. where the green
numbers are.
* Do not change any red numbers. These are needed for the equations.
* Special Notice: When you download the calculator and read through to the
troops section, you will have to change the consumption rate of the Battering
Ram from 500 to 100 (Thanks to Lord One for pointing that out).

Alliances
Alliances are the main player support system found in the game. Players band together within their Alliance to support players with the building of their cities and to support them when one of their members has fallen under attack. Alliances can hold up to 100 members and are ranked on how much cumulative might your Alliance has.
* 1 Quick Info
* 2 Joining An Alliance
* 3 Forming An Alliance
* 4 Player Ranks in Alliances
* 5 Diplomacy
* 6 Alliance Listings/Leader Boards
* 7 Comments
One of the first things you should take care of once you have gotten used to the interface is to find an alliance that suits you. Most of the new players think, the smartest thing is to join a top ranked alliance. The problem hereby is that Kingdoms of Camelot limits the size of alliances at 100 members and most of the top ranked alliances expect new members to have the same average might and army size as their members do.
This means, the best thing for you, bloody newbie, is to get a small alliance that is getting started just like you are. Obviously if you manage to get in a larger alliance it is even better but it is not end of the world if your alliance is ranked #45 since you don't have anything to offer yet anyway.
Here are some advantages:
* Alliance members can reinforce your city with troops depending on the level of
your Embassy and protect you from attackers.
* Alliance members can send you resources which you may need.
* Have an alliance chat where you are able to get your answers more easily.
Rule of thumb is don't expect everyone to drop what they are doing to come to your help if you need resources or are being attacked. Chances are the member that is on right at that moment is too far and the one right next to you is offline. This is one of the reasons why it is a good idea to open the map before joining an alliance and scout your immediate surroundings for players. Once you have found some, note their alliance and consider trying to apply for these, because this way you have at least 1 ally next to you if you were to need help.
To Join an existing Alliance, you must have:
* Embassy Level 1 (or higher) built in your City
How to ask to join an alliance:
* Click the Alliance tab at the top center of your screen, to open the
Alliance window
* The Alliance Info tab will tell you "You currently aren't in any Alliance."
and will offer you a button to "Browse Alliances"
* Browse Alliance will take you to the Alliance List tab. Look over the existing
Alliances arranged in decreasing order by the total might of their members.
Select an Alliance that is close to your level for the best chance to get
accepted.
* When you have selected an Alliance, click the "Request to Join" button next to
its name.
* The window will expand to let you edit a request message that will be sent to
the alliance officers for approval. You might add a comment about why you want
to join their alliance. Then, click Send.
* The message will be sent to the officers. Now you wait.
* When an officer of the alliance gets your message they can respond by allowing
you to join, refusing your request, or simply ignoring your request.
* If you do not get accepted, try again with another Alliance.
To form an alliance, you must have:
* Embassy Level 2
In your embassy, creating an alliance is as easy as clicking the "Create
button, naming your alliance, and providing a short description for the
alliance. (Note: the name and description cannot be changed without destroying
the alliance and starting it over. Check your name and description carefully.)
Note: In order to create an alliance you can not be in another alliance.
edit Player Ranks in Alliances
Players can have various ranks bestowed upon them in alliances. Along with these ranks come the various privileges and responsibilities.
* Chancellor ([default] Alliance Creator; can be appointed, but only one allowed)
* Vice-Chancellor
* Officer
* Member (Default rank)
The positions of Vice-Chancellor and Officer are appointed positions and anybody can be promoted into those positions.
edit Diplomacy
Alliances have the option to befriend other alliances, be neutral, or declare war upon each other. To do this, the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor can click the "Set Diplomacy" button found within the alliance Tab. There they have the option to search for the alliance they want to change their status to and choose the option that corresponds to what they wish to set them as (Friendly, Neutral, or Hostile).
edit Alliance Listings/Leader Boards
All alliances on your domain can be found in the alliance tab titled Alliance List.
All alliances are ranked upon how much cumulative might the alliance has. The higher cumulative might the alliance has the higher they will be on the list.

How to Build Your Army
"How to Build Your Army" In Kingdoms of Camelot, Time to Build your Army and Raise your Might.
What you need to know
16.384 Idle Population Building troops not only uses Resources but also free population space. Your Population grows again, just like your Resources, as long as you keep your Population Trend upward.
Troops you build will eat Food, lots of it. If you end up having negative production you will eventually have to start farming Barbarian Camps.
Every Troop type has prerequisites which you need to fulfill before you are able to recruit these.
Keep your troops in the Sanctuary if you are not online or are weak in comparison to other players. Resources grow faster than rebuilding a whole army.
Building multiple Barracks will let you recruit units faster. Check this formula and this one.
Try to build 5 lv1 Barracks in the beginning and then upgrade one of these to lv4 so you gain access to Archers.
Get Archers before you really start building an Army.
Read the important Research types to know what you need for high survivability.
Get at least one Knight which doesn't have a role assigned, ideally you should have three Knights. Knights that have a role assigned can't be used to attack.
To faster build troops assign a Knight to the role of Marshal. You can do this in the Knights Hall.
Upgrade your Knights Hall so that your Knights gain experience faster.
Get started with lv1 and lv2 Barbarian Camps to get a feeling how Battle works.
If you do get a Divine Inspiration and you want Catapults then don't use it on Barracks. The suggested order to use Divine Inspiration is Alchemy Lab, Blacksmith and finally Barracks.
edit Getting there Even though there are many Units in game, here are the high priority ones - get your research up so you can build these:
Supply Troops/Supply Wagons: Carry the plundered resources. Once you have enough Archers, you will automatically have enough capacity though, so you don't need too many of these.
Archers: The one and only Unit type you will ever use on Wildernesses and Barbarian Camps.
Heavy Cavalry: Used to farm low level (1-4) Barbarian Camps due to their high speed.
You should be farming lv3 Barbarian Camps now, which means you have been raising your Research and working towards the Supply Wagons and Heavy Cavalry.
Keep producing Archers till you have 30.000 of them.
You should definitely have three Knights by now.
Using 10.000 Archers each you can farm lv3 Barbarian Camps without having any losses.
Keep an eye on your Food. Make sure you have enough reserves if you are not going to be able to play for a prolonged time.
edit Armageddon Finish your research to get the Battering Ram.
Keep building your Army. By now, you should have some experience on how to build an Army. If not, experiment to learn which units are ideally used when. Attack players with defenses, attempt to take over high level Wildernesses, battle Barbarian Camps to test your strength.
Get all your Battle related Research such as Poisoned Edge to lv9 or lv10.
Have fun!
So what units should I Build? Since many players often ask what troops to build, i figured a brief summary of each troop type would be helpful. Personal preference and style of attacks should influence what units you produce. The following summaries are to help you build your army.
Supply Troops - Easy to produce in mass numbers, and having a large load (amount they can carry), supply troops are a good way to transport resources to your allies, and back from cities you have plundered.
Militiamen - in small numbers, these troops are weak. however, a few thousand can overcome caltrops, and even wall-mounted crossbows with ease. Like Supply Troops, they are easy to produce
Scouts - This unit is essential. You need scouts to find out what to send against an opponent. Also easy to produce, scouts die easily, so you may need to mass-produce this unit. however, the information they gather will make them worth the resources.
Pikeman - This is a unit that isn't very commonly used in the game. They aren't very strong in any category, making them easy to eliminate. however, they are strong against cavalry, and are somewhat easy to produce, so players with a small army may find use for them.
Swordsmen - This unit is a strong unit, and is valuable for two reasons. First, they are still somewhat easy to produce, and second, they are also effective against Archers, which are common in player's armies.
Archers - Easily the most popular unit in the game, Archers attack from a range, giving them an advantage against the units listed above. However, they are not as easy to produce as the previous units, making them somewhat annoying to replace.
Cavalry - This is the unit you use when you need to hit a target fast. However, with that speed comes a lack of defense, so you may find yourself replacing them quite often
Supply Wagons - these units are very valuable. they can carry massive amounts of resources and have a high defense, allowing them to survive rough battles. These units are well worth their higher production costs
Heavy Cavalry - These units can put a big dent in your resources, but they are very powerful and are good for taking out Spike Barriers, which allows you Supply Wagons into your enemies city unopposed.
Ballista - The first siege weapon you'll gain access to, these units are effective as long as they are well-supported by the infantry units and cavalry. they have a high production cost however, so smaller players shouldn't try to mass-produce them.
Battering Rams - These units can take a lot of punishment, which is good since they are also hard to make. they can tear down defenses quickly though, so they are a sound investment if your attacking cities
Catapults - These units eat the most (250food per hour per unit) making them hard to keep in a city. Their massive attack and range make them quite deadly to enemy units though, so the trade off may be worth it. Note: if you refuse to upgrade to a level 10 barracks and, the only way to get this unit is by winning Siege Volunteers from Merlin's Magical Tokens. however, this item often produces units that consume at least a 75000 food per hour.
