Star Kingdoms Help

Welcome to the Galactic Frontier

Domination is imminent, my friend.

Step into the universe of StarKingdoms, a multiplayer game that has been captivating players for over 25 years. First launched before the year 2000, this enduring classic offers a galaxy of challenges where strategy, alliances, and ambition collide. Build your own kingdom and navigate the complexities of galactic domination in a game where the stakes are as high as the stars themselves.

Kingdom Dynamics

Your kingdom is built on a delicate balance of money, power, population, land, military units, scientists, and probes. Together, these elements determine your net worth, a reflection of your kingdom's size and influence. As you grow stronger, you’ll gain recognition—but also the attention of rivals seeking to challenge your supremacy.

Thriving Alliances & Community

Forge alliances with like-minded leaders to pool resources, coordinate strategies, and defend against common threats. Beyond the game, our vibrant Discord community is alive with conversation, camaraderie, and competition. Whether sharing strategies or celebrating victories, the bonds formed here extend the game’s impact far beyond the battlefield.

Expedition & Warfare

Expand your kingdom’s reach by exploring uncharted regions of the galaxy. Dispatch skilled workers to uncover hidden resources, and launch probes to gather crucial intelligence. Train soldiers, draft elite units, and construct a powerful military to protect your realm and press your advantage.

The Art of Warfare

Engage in strategic battles to seize enemy lands, plunder resources, and secure your place as a dominant force. Use advanced technologies developed by your scientists to outthink and outmaneuver rivals. Every decision shapes your destiny, and every victory leaves its mark on the galaxy.

High-Stakes Conflict

For the bold, unleash devastating missile strikes to annihilate enemy strongholds. Such actions carry great risk—retaliation and political fallout are inevitable—but the rewards can be just as significant. Choose your path carefully; domination is not without consequences.

Survive and Thrive

The galaxy is a challenging yet rewarding frontier. Build, explore, and conquer while maintaining the balance that sustains your kingdom. With alliances to bolster you and enemies to test you, only the most resilient will prevail. Will you ascend to greatness or be lost to the stars? The universe awaits your command.

Basics

Welcome to Star Kingdoms! In this galaxy-spanning strategy game, you will lead your kingdom to power through resource management, research, military strategy, and alliances. Here are the foundational elements to get you started:

Resources:
- Money: Generated primarily through Star Mines and taxes from your population. Money fuels your kingdom’s growth, allowing you to construct buildings, train military units, and fund research.
- Power: Produced by Power Plants, power is essential to maintain your buildings and support military units. Ensure you have enough power to avoid inefficiencies.
- Probes: Manufactured in Probe Factories, probes are vital for espionage, offensive operations, and defense.
Population:
- Population lives in Residences and contributes to your kingdom’s income through taxes.
- Military units also require housing. If there is insufficient room in Barracks, they will displace civilians from residences.
Buildings:
- Construct and manage buildings to expand your kingdom’s capabilities. For example, Barracks house your military, and Star Mines generate income.
- Specialized buildings like Air Support Bays and Aegis Control Hubs are required to field advanced units like tactical fighters and interceptor drones.
Military:
- Your army is the backbone of your kingdom’s offense and defense. Train units like Soldiers, Dragoons, and Tanks, or unlock advanced units through research.
- Military operations consume resources, including money and power, so plan accordingly.
Research:
- Invest in research to unlock new technologies, enhance resource production, and improve military strength. Prioritize technologies that align with your strategy.
Exploration and Expansion:
- Acquire more land to construct buildings and increase your kingdom’s power. Land can be gained through exploration or warfare.
Alliances:
- Join or create an alliance to collaborate with other kingdoms. Alliances provide collective benefits, such as shared income and the ability to wage sector-wide wars.
Tick System:
- The game operates on a "tick" system, with each tick representing a specific interval of time. Resources, military actions, and other processes are updated every tick. Plan your strategies with the tick cycle in mind.

Master these basics to build a prosperous and powerful kingdom. As you progress, advanced strategies and mechanics will come into play to shape your path to dominance. Good luck, commander!

Food Kingdoms

Food kingdoms are available to help you grow. These kingdoms are located in sectors 1 to 3.

Key Features of Food Kingdoms:
- No shields and no military research.
- Automatically adjusted for you on the attack calculator.

Defenses by Sector:
- Sector 1: Always 40 tanks.
- Sector 2: Starts at 1000 tanks and can go up to 3000 tanks.
- Sector 3: Starts at 3000 tanks and can go up to 30,000 tanks.

Be aware that every tick your return time on each food kingdom may change.

Newbie Guide
Buildings	Build 80 star mines. Build 32 probe factories.
Exploration	Explore 24 land.
Research	Assign 10 scientists to the money bonus.
Barracks	Once you have acquired 16 land build barracks and begin training soldiers. Be careful not to build more than you can support. Check your military for available barrack space as going over 100% will cause population loss and affect your money.
Training Camps	After you have sufficient barracks to support your troops focus on training camps. Build 10% of your land as training camps to reduce the cost of military units by 30%. You will want to begin building units at the 24 hour mark so that you have enough offense to attack food, but enough defense to not become a target yourself.
Rubble	If you receive arsons or sabos it will create a building called Rubble out of the burn down res and power plants. Rubble can then be razed to recover 40% of the building cost.
Scientists	As the game progresses it is recommended to maximize the top 4 research bonuses (Pop, Power, Military, & Money) as soon as possible.
Tips	Explore 24 more land as soon as you can but not before. Do this throughout newbie mode. You have enough power plants to last you through newbie mode. It is not necessary to power your shields as nobody can attack you. Raise your military shields once newbie mode has ended. Maximize your money and residence bonus first to increase your income. Attack the food kingdoms as soon as newbie mode ends.

AFK Auto Builder Guide

AFK Build Assistant - Will spend 100% of income for 24 ticks, after 24 ticks 50%, after 48 ticks 25%, and after 72 ticks 10% until it turns off at becoming inactive. Any page reload or relogin will reset Ticks Active: to 0. Allows 2 decimal places on settings.

Enable AFK Builder (On/Off) – This is the master control on/off, this will fully disable the builder. This will be disabled by default.

Enable AFK Attacking – Allows builder to attack.

Enable AFK Robbing – Allows builder to mine gold with PAs.

Enable Build Military – Allows builder to build military.

Enable Build Buildings – This allows the builder to build buildings for your kingdom.

Enable AFK Exploring – This is the master control for exploring on your kingdom. If turned off your kingdom will not explore with the builder.

AFK Exploring Before Buildings – This will instruct the builder to explore first before buildings.

AFK Exploring After Military – This will instruct the builder to explore after military.

Order of Operations and details

The builder will build in this order unless some of the above settings are disabled.

Attack
Attack tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3 food when able, using offensive and flex units as per settigns.
It will choose the best land per tick to attack (land gained / return time).
Very early in the round it doesn't do a great job when you start hitting a mix of T1 and T2, with 1 WL.
Later when you are using 3/4 WLs to hit T3 it generally goes a great job.

Probe - Will mine gold and keep power according to your settings.

Explore (before buildings) – will explore max amount in 24s

Buildings – Will build all buildings equally until the desired percentage is matched

Military – Build order for military are as follows: Soldiers, Scientists, other units Builder will build units based on the percentages set. Soldiers will be trained based on Soldiers Max Stack, and Soldiers % to train per population. It will work like this, If soldiers in training plus soldiers complete equal Soldiers Max Stack it won't train anymore soldiers. Scientists to maintain is per unit of land.

Explore (after military) – Will explore with funds that are left from the steps aboves

Relics

There will be three relics around the universe at one time. At round start these relics will start with random bot alliances.
One Relic can be earned by a successful arson on a kingdom that has the relic. (Arson Relic)
One Relic can be earned by a successful sabo on a kingdom that has the relic. (Sabo Relic)
One Relic can be earned by a successful attack on a kingdom that has the relic. (Attack Relic)

Alliance names in sector view with the icon next to it means they have a relic(More shows how many relics). Also can be seen in the Alliance Scores page.
It will be unknown of which relic and which kingdom has the relic. If you successfully grab a relic from another alliance it will be given to random alliance mate in your alliance.

Rewards for controlling the relics are:
One Relic - 2 honor and 1 HoF per tick for your whole alliance
Two Relics - 4 honor and 2 HoF per tick for your whole alliance
Three Relics - 10 honor and 3 HoF per tick for your whole alliance

Exploration

You can explore additional land to expand your kingdom but this becomes costly as the game progresses. Exploring in multiples of 24 will help you to gain the land quickly. Eventually you might desire to attack kingdoms in other sectors for larger gains. The table below is a formula to maximize your growth while in newbie status.

Buildings
Residence	Residence are where the population lives. If there is not enough room in your barracks for your military, your military will 'kick out' population from their residential homes in order to seek shelter. Population will also give you income through taxes. Holds 50 civilians or military. 2 money per population.
Barracks	Military are housed here first, but if there is no room they will enter the residence and kick out your population. Failing to produce enough barracks will eventually result in death. You will lose population every tick until this is corrected. All land units require one space in the barracks, with the exception of tanks which will require two. Holds 75 military units.
Air Support Bay	The ASB houses your tactical fighters. You can not build tactical fighters without the ASB to house them. Holds 30* Tactical Fighters. * With Large ASB researched, it will hold up to 40
Aegis Control Hub	The ACH houses your f74 interceptor drones. You can not build f74 interceptor drones without the ACH to house them. * Building can't be razed unless the building is empty. Holds 50 F74 Interceptor Drones.
Power Plant	This building can produce 100/150* units of power. Up to 500/1000* units of power can be stored. Any excess is lost. Produces 100/150* power and stores up to 500/1000* power. * If Fusion Technology is researched.
Star Mine	This building provides you with gold every tick and is usually the main source of income. Produces 130 money.
Training Camp	Training camps greatly decrease the cost of military units. If you have 10% of your land as training camps you will reduce the costs of military units up to the maximum of 30%. This does not apply to soldiers.
Probe Factory	PF's manufacture probes that are produced each tick. They are vital to both the offensive and defensive capabilities of your kingdom.

Convert Buildings

If you decide that you would like to change one building to another type (excluding power plants) then you should use Convert Buildings. You conserve cost by reusing the materials of the old building in the new building.

Converting a building takes 20 hours.(can be lower by construction building reductions)

You cannot convert to/from a power plant because the building uses different materials.

The cost is calculated as: Money = Money - (Building Cost / 2)

Research
Population Bonus, Power Bonus, Military Strength, Money, Frequency Decryption, Warp Drive are currently recieving a 40% discount on this round.
Population Bonus	By increasing the capacity of the residence building, a kingdom can increase the population above normal. Maximum 20% Increases Population
Power Bonus	More efficient fuel can be discovered to increase the power output of any given powerplant. Maximum 50% Increases Power
Military Strength	By discovering new weapons and armor one can make there army more effective. This research will improve both your offensive and defensive military strength. Maximum 30% Increases Military Strength
Money	Improved government projects can increase revenue. By reducing unemployment and government spending strategies more tax money can go towards construction and military. Maximum 25% Increases Income
Frequency Decryption	Probes use the same low end frequencies to transmit data, regardless of who is using them, as the low end frequencies are the only ones capable of transmitting data at such a long distance. Although we frequently pick up signals over the radio, we are rarely able to decrypt it. This is why we have placed scientists on the job to monitor the waves 24/7. When successfully decrypting a transmission we can calculate how many probes were sent, what the probes were assigned to do, and who sent them. Maximum 25% Gives a chance at knowing which kingdom successfully probed you.
Warp Drive	Through advanced research, knowledge learned in the energy core project can be used to increase the speed at which our armies move. Maximum 20% Requires Energy Core research. Decreases attack time.
Dragoons	Research laser scopes, electronic implants, and offensive programming for military units. Develop Dragoon Requires 60,000 points.
Fighters	Research heavily armed jets for use in battle. Develop Fighters Requires 150,000 points + Dragoons to be unlocked.
Vesudian Core and AI Technology	Research the ability to harness the power of the Vesudian Core, and the AI technology to control it. Allows the production of air support bay's and tactical fighters. Develop Vesudian Core and AI Technology. Requires 300,000 points + Fighters to be unlocked.
Large ASB	Research the ability to house 40 Tactical Fighters instead of 30 Tactical Fighters. Support more Tactical Fighters. Requires 350,000 points + Vesudian Core and AI Technology.
Laser Dragoons	Research new armor upgrades and defensive programs. Develop Laser Dragoon Requires 72,000 points.
Laser Fighters	Research new armor upgrades and defensive programs. Develop Laser Fighter Requires 180,000 points.
Aegis Control Hub	Research AI technology that control defensive programmed drones. Develop F74 Interceptor Drones, and Aegis Control Hubs Requires 350,000 points + Laser Fighters to be unlocked.

Energy Core	Research the use of an advanced energy based core in machinery's engines and power plants. Increases power production of power plants by 20%, allows you to produce the Energy Missiles, and decreases attack time by 10% Develop Energy Core. Requires 50,000 points and the research of Fusion Technology to be completed.
AntiMatter Reactor Core	Research the use of Antimatter which allows for production of the Falcon, and Raptor missiles. Develop AntiMatter Reactor Core. Requires 250,000 points and the research of Energy Core to be completed.
Probe Armor	Research the use of an armor plating that can be polarized to resist energy weapons. Decreases probe losses by 50%. Develop Probe Armor. Requires 92,000 points and the research of Fusion Technology to be completed.

Military Units information
Offense unit recruiting is limited to the amount of defense units currently in training/completed. At start of round this is 40% defense to 60% offense ratio. Defense percent will decrease and the Offense percent will increase as round goes on allowing more offense units to be built. Units require Barrack space for housing Tactical Fighters require Air Support Bays for housing F74 Interceptor Drones require Aegis Control Hub for housing(housing is only required to allow you to build more units, unit will still work if there is no housing.) It takes 16 ticks to train soldiers. This can be reduced with Mobilization kingdom state. It takes 24 ticks to train military units. This can be reduced with Mobilization kingdom state. Military units require soldiers to train. *Tactical Fighters, F74 Interceptor Drones.

Go to upgrade armies room and simply enter the amount you want to upgrade and click upgrade. You can upgrade Troopers to Dragoons with Dragoon research. You can upgrade Laser Troopers to Laser Dragoons with Laser Dragoon research. The cost of upgrading Laser Dragoons is current Laser Dragoons cost * 0.28. The cost of upgrading Dragoons is current Dragoons cost * 0.28. It takes 12 ticks to upgrade

Disband Military Units information
If you have too much military population and need more space for residence, or if you just want to get rid of a unit, you can go to the disband room. Enter in the number to release for each unit and hit Disband Army. Any units you disband except soldiers or tactical fighters will return to soldiers. If you disband soldiers they will return to population. If you disband tactical fighters, or F74 Interceptor Drones you will gain 25% of the unit's cost.

Politics

At one time every sector was an alliance of their own which led to many heated battles. After thousands of years kingdoms grew tired of fighting for leaders that disrespected their desires. The players rebelled as the galaxy was split and a great battle ensued. Neither side was able to achieve victory and instead their grasp on the players slipped. The AI the alliances had unleashed against each other took over the galaxy. A mad scientist named Wicky devised a powerful weapon that was able to vaporize all alliances. Now each kingdom is able to join an alliance of their own.

The sector leader is still visible in the sector as a yellow kingdom and is able to set a sector topic and banner. The kingdom that is elected sector leader is given a 0% research bonus. Alliances can fight over control of this coveted title. The war continues in an attempt to now unite the sectors under one banner, and reclaim control of the sectors. Universal domination is imminent, my friend.

Honor

Honor is gained in battle. Starting honor is 1000. Honor gained in honorable victories. A defending kingdom only loses 90% of the gained honor. If a kingdom has a high amount of honor, they will gain bonuses. 2 times as much honor is gained in war (only 1.25 times is lost).

Attacks on Non-Food, Non-Bot kingdoms yeild an extra 20% honor
