Resources

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).
