Kingdoms

Kingdoms are a new feature added with update 1.29. Up to 50 people can be part of the same kingdom. All members must have the same elemental Faction.

## Choosing a Kingdom

When you click on the Kingdoms menu in the main menu, you will be prompted to either create a kingdom or join a kingdom.

If you wish to create a kingdom, you will need to be at least level 150. Upon creation you will immediately become the king or queen of the new kingdom. Other players will be able to find and join your kingdom using the search function. When creating a kingdom, you can choose the name of the kingdom and also write a brief description of your Kingdom.

If you click "join a kingdom" you will be given a list of all the kingdoms that are available for you to join. **Remember - you can only join kingdoms that are the same elemental faction as you**.

You may change factions anytime for $0.99. If you are a member of a kingdom you must leave your kingdom first before you're given the option to swap factions.

## Kingdom Menu

Across the top, it lists your total gold and orns for the Kingdom. Gold is earned when a member of the Kingdom fights a mob or boss. A portion of the gold is given to the Kingdom. Gold is also earned from Raids. Orn is earned from guild wars and Raids.
* On the Hall screen, it will show your Kingdom's level.
* Second, it will show your power which reflects the total number of levels earned by members of your Kingdom members. For example, if you had a Kingdom with 50 people and everyone was level 100, your power would be 5000(50 x 100).
* The number after that is influence which is the total number of dukedoms owned by all the members of your Kingdom. For example, if you had 10 members who owned 100 dukedoms, your total influence would be 1000(10x100)
* The next number is the rank. This is your current rank on the leaderboard.
* The last number is the Kingdom's member count. Up to 50 people can join a Kingdom.

## Kingdom Ranks

### King/Queen

The King or Queen is the leader of the Kingdom and he or she has the ability to change the Kingdom name and description, remove players, add a message to the Kingdom Hall, lock the Kingdom, and start and manage Kingdom Raids, Gauntlets, and Wars.

### Officer

Soldiers are promoted to Officers solely by the King/Queen. They may be given authority to start and manage Kingdom Raids, Gauntlets, and/or Wars, as well as remove members.

### Soldier

This rank is the default basic member of the Kingdom and has no special meaning or authority.

## Kingdom Wars

### Starting a War

In the "War" section you will be prompted to long press to begin a new Kingdom War. Each war costs clan gold. If you are involved in a war, you cannot start a new one. It seems that anyone within the Kingdom can start a war. A War lasts 24 hours.

#### Matchmaking

Matchmaking put two Kingdoms together that are within 1000 power of each other. When both Kingdoms are searching for a battle they will be matched together.

### Battling

Once you start the war, you will need to wait a while for matchmaking to happen. Once the rival Kingdom is selected, the War begins. Each player in the Kingdom is matched up with someone from the rival Kingdom. Each player gets one battle against the other Kingdom's player controlled by the AI. For example, Kingdom Soldier A fights Kingdom Soldier B. A will fight B (AI controlled), but B will also fight A (also AI controlled). Quite often both players will win their battle, making both of them victorious. The battle is exactly the same as the battle for a local area control or an Arena battle.

### Winning the War

Whichever Kingdom has the most total wins will win the War. If the Kingdoms have the same number of wins then the match ends in a stalemate. A win will give your Kingdom gold, orn, and a victory. A stalemate brings very few Orns. Once the War is won, you can immediately start a new War.

If all the members of both Kingdoms finish their battles BEFORE the 24 hours have expired, then the War will end. This means having active members in BOTH Kingdoms is beneficial.
