Discussion which is better

0 Upvotes

Is it better to have 3 marches with gold-tier equipment that isn't highly upgraded, or just 1 march with gold-tier equipment upgraded to level 5, along with garrison or rally commanders who can use that equipment?

Which IPad to get?

0 Upvotes

Because I’m gonna be traveling a lot, I’m gonna be needing an iPad for playing rise of kingdoms mainly. My question is, do I need the pro version to avoid lag in KVK battles or will an air do fine?

Prep season migrating

How important is reaching out to kingdoms, when currently in kd 33 days old?

I'm trying to migrate from 4186 and even though open migration, I hear about reaching out though I can find nothing about the kingdoms to do so.

Currently 3.77m power low-mid spender and pretty active in the US.

I got really good advice on here for my infantry set.

For Archer/Cav - what order should I icon the gear?

I’m in SOE, so I don’t have SOC accessories yet.

Commanders Legendary Pelagius

1 Upvotes

I am fully aware, that my problem may be due to the fact that I am stupid. That being said:

Legendary Pelagius did not exist last time I played. I heard he was good for KvK1 Cav Garrison. Then I heard that they changed his skills around, and now he is also good on the Field. But no matter how much I search I can not find a field talent build for him. Every video I find about it, TALKS about the Legendary version, but uses the Epic version for showing talents, but they have different talent trees.

Does anyone know if he actually is good on the field, and if he his, does anyone have a good talent build for him?

Commander Pair F2P for KVK2

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

These are my max commanders except for Aethel that is still at 5-5-5-1. I already have epic equipment except for the boots and the weapon. Is it still be Bjorn-Sun Tzu or it is better to have Aethel-Sun Tzu. I'm more worried if I go to Aethel-Sun, my march will be more squishy and I cant have the buff of the ("only infantry") in Sun Tzu's talent. Any thoughts? Two weeks to go until KVK2, I want to be prepared and more efficient than KVK1.

Question Trying to install RoK on CachyOS

I tried to install it in multiple ways now following some guides online and on this subreddit, but I run into the same problem every time. Black window covering the game (likely login window not showing correctly or smth) and freeze at 6% loading.

tried before:

https://github.com/limeskat/Rise-of-Kingdoms-Linux-Installer

Nothing really worked for me. Some even had the starting video showing something broken.

Just installed CachyOS today and this is the only Problem I have, I dont have any intention to switch back to windows. Specs are included in the picture.

Question Refine or Icon Upgrade?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have full sets for my field commanders; Stp+BQ, Arthur+Ivan, QSH+YSG.

I have another full infa and cav set, currently on sunset commanders and ready to swap in load out, but I still need to build Yi To, Lui Che, Achilles and GG.

I’m heading into K4 so I want to refine and icon my commanders. I only have 2 icon crystals left. Is it worth prioritising refinement first?
