Text for the game

Kingshot chat and alliance mail are fixed-width boxes with no formatting, so anything that goes in has to work as plain characters. Copy a block, paste it in.

Make a banner

Letters, numbers and ! ? . - + *. Anything else is dropped rather than drawn badly.

Seams between the blocks are your browser's font, not the text. The game draws it solid — what gets copied is exactly what you see, character for character.

The library

Ready messages for the game: rally calls, reinforcement shouts, event notices, recruitment mail. Fill the blanks in here and the copy button gives you the finished text — nothing left in braces to notice after you have already sent it.

Use the help button

Help & defence

For new members who do not know that helping is free research.

HELP EACH OTHER
Tap the help icon every time you
open the game. It costs you
nothing and it takes minutes off
everyone else's builds.
Ask for help before you start a
long one, not after.

Gift code drop

Events

Codes expire quietly. This says where to put it and by when.

GIFT CODE - {code}
Settings > Gift Code > paste.
Expires {expiry}, one use each.
Codes die without warning, so do
it now rather than tonight.

The three rules

Alliance notice

Short enough that people actually read it. Pin it.

THE THREE RULES
1. Turn up to Bear Trap.
2. Shield when told, no excuses.
3. No solo revenge rallies.
That is the whole list.

Framed notice

In-game mail

A frame you can paste your own text into. Edit the middle lines and keep the width.

Bear is up

Two minutes before the window. Nobody scrolls past a bear.

JOIN. DO NOT LEAD. GO.

Forgot to shield

Fun

For the one who logs off bare. Said with a picture, so it lands as a joke and not as a telling-off.

Good game

Fun

After a KvK, win or lose. Costs nothing and makes the next draw easier.

GG {kingdom}
Good fight - you made us work for
it. Doors are open if any of you
ever want a quieter kingdom.

Trophy

Fun

After a won castle, a won KvK, or anything worth a lap of the chat.
