Knights and Merchants.net Forum

At the moment topic works as known and trusted database of good games, examples how to play KaM in each point. If you are going to improve your KaM skills and not necessarily know how you can do it, it's probably topic for you.

At first it was challenge message written to encourage players to gather into unity. Here's first message (list with replays is under it):

Let my map outside of this story :p

hi. I like to play against you, but I have only czechboss.
other good players are here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=891 .
Yesterday at 19:00 I started server with the name "only top players - start 20:00 (CET)," and we had a very good balanced game. Maybe it is a way to have a good opponent. You create game beforehand or to have "every day at 20:00 game for PROplayers" and somebody come in.
I prefer to wait, until then to play the game unbalanced. I do not judge a bad player, but I need a challenge to continue playing and it is a challenge for others players to be good.

sorry for my bad english

Uploading your replays for everybody to watch would be nice

Don't worry Kruciprdel i'll try to join those games if i am able to. So u will have a challenge.

Hi, thanks for feedback!

@Kruciprdel: We like to play with you and czechboss cause you are best opponents we met yet. It's good to see you noticed this topic, it can make easy gathering at least few players for good games. I like your lobby idea a lot, I did same several time in past, but usually decision about play game is very quick before I launch it, so I rarely make any preparations except invite everybody whos contact I own.
Our devise is same: better wait longer for good game rather play unbalanced one.

@Krom: Of course, after really good game it won't be problem to place it here (revealing our secret techs ).

I guess we will play tomorrow at evening (20-22 CEST). Everyone who feels strong is welcome! The best 'd be if you give me a signal on forum before.

Cheers, Florek.

Sorry for double post, here I will describe first games (there was Across the Desert earlier) we played!

Team 1: Florek, RomeK, jajeczko, GONZO
Team 2: Kruciprdel, Beerzhoper, mulberry treee, Thunder

http://speedy.sh/YRYhG/powah-tour-Border-Rivers-8p.zip

Peace time was set for 65 minutes (it's our standard for Border Rivers). Games was really interesing, we had few sudden reversals of action, few big battles, intense shooting parts and unexpected manoeuvres.

What I can say more - replay will display you everything. ;p

@Down: Repacked to zip by 7zip, now should works! (anyway, previous archive also works for me)

My issue with file consistency was taken care of. Problem solved, and it wasn't the consistency of the file. Pure user error on my part.

Watched your replay with pleasure - good game!

yesterday game:

Team 1: RomeK, jajeczko, ImmortallFen, mr Bo
Team 2: Kruciprdel, mulberry, czechboss, Edgar

I also can play with someone on the level!

Hi, this time something smart - 2-2 at Wilderness!

Team 1: Florek, koczis12
Team 2: Beerzoeper, Mulberry

http://speedy.sh/4wGe7/powah-tour-Wilderness.rar - INSANE lags at 28-30 minutes of game.

Also I will gather links for all posts including replays into first post.

Oh... I think you shouldnt post this replay... It is a shame for me

Hello again, next dose of replays - this time it will be Warfare in the Wilderness 8p (long and laggy as hell) and classical Wilderness once more!

#1 Warfare in the Wilderness
Team 1: Florek, koczis12, Kanonier, King Piersaw PL
Team 2: Kruciprdel, Mulberry, Mixons, bucek100 (victorious!)

http://speedy.sh/pFfYc/powah-tour-Warfa ... erness.rar

Stats screen:

Hard game for both sides. Many sieges, but game is full of manouevers in middle of map! I think especially worth to see is economical aspect of few players playing.

#2 Wilderness
Team 1: Florek, Mulberry (victorious!)
Team 2: Kruciprdel, bucek100

http://speedy.sh/Whavm/powah-tour-Wilderness-2.rar

Stats screen:

ABC guide how to maintenance fast attack!:P Also I think it's good example how to play on hardest location 4 in my performance.

I think enough replays for some time, have fun!

EDIT: Last thing I forgot - feel free to comment!

It's really great to watch competitive games like this! I watched the Warfare in the Wilderness one. I'm amazed by how much stuff you guys get built in an hour, and the players who built out into the center were very brave! And everyone uses 4 stone masons, I thought 3 was a lot! It was hard to tell who would win, the game was very back and forth.
Please keep posting these replays

I would love to have you guys beta test the next release, would you be interested in that? If so please spread the word to the other pro players. I can send you the release candidate some time this weekend, and if you can play a few of your matches in it hopefully you'll find some bugs we haven't noticed yet. (and you can comment on balance changes like archers being less powerful)
If anyone else on the forums wants to help test the new release too, just send us an email to contact@kamremake.com.
Cheers,
Lewin.
