Journal FortKnox's Journal: KoC: Starting & Strategies 24
First of all, post your URLs so we can click them to give you forces (the URL is at the bottom of the screen on your "Command Center").
You have $1,000 and 1 person to start with. Its kinda slow at the beginning. First, buy yourself a knife, and attack someone (preferably with only 1 troop and below you in rank) and collect cash. Once you get more cash buy more armor or a better weapon. Try to get everyone armed and you'll do better attacking.
Best defensive strategy is to buy as much as you can and have NO money left over (you aren't worth attacking if you have no money). But eventually you'll need to buy yourself some defensive armor. The more the merrier.
And that's all I really have right now. Some things that I'm pretty sure about:
Attack specialists do better damage attacking, but can't defend (ditto with the defensive specialist).
The number of troops of your opponent doesn't mean as much as you think unless they have them all armed.
Some people horde money, have like 4 troops, but all of them have superior weapons and armor, so be careful (nothing like your 30 troops doing 405 damage and their 8 troops doing 1298 damage back), so having a spy or two may be worth your while once you get a week or two into the game.
You get turns and money every hour so you can check back a couple times a day, and if you are gone a long time, jump in and buy a buncha stuff to not leave yourself a target (which may be a good strategy for the 'east coasters'... wake up early, and attack all the west coasters who have been asleep a while and collecting money).
That's all I got, but mekka and baldass_newbie have been into this longer and can probably give you some better strategies.

one AWESOME thing I accidentally did was I signed up, didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't do anything for 3 days. Sure- I got n00b'd and people stole a lot of money from me. BUT I had 150 action turns. I kicked so much ass at once and leapfrogged these losers. It was rad!

So when I get back, I'm going to have a long list of enemies who need to be beaten down.

my link as well (Score:2)
also, I am constructing a small VB app that will read the uniqid from a text file, sub it into the link, auto read what number to click and click it (giving everyone on the list one recruit per person per day). You can then use the task scheduler on your windows machine** to run it every 24hrs automagically. Easier way to keep track of links than trying to remember to click every day. I should have it ready in a day or 2. Watch my journal for updates.

Personally, I don't think its too hard to click once per day. I mean, I'm checking it like every hour! I'm not gonna forget to click!

Of course, it would be good if you provided a quick summary of what it's for and why people should go there once a day and clicked on everyone else's links.
