CaveToKingdom - Feel the Past!
The Archery Range is here!
Today we bring you another big update, the addition of the Archery Range. With the new Archery Range, you can now train Light, Medium and Heavy Archers.
To build the Archery Range, you first need to research the building from the Research, Buildings section. The Archers have different stats than the Swordsmen and together with the opportunity to add multiple types of soldiers to your army, we have also implemented the Combo Boost Factor. The Combo Boost allows you to have a boost of up to 30% for your attack and defense stats if your army consists of both Archers and Sworsdmen. The bonus is calculated based on the equilibrium between the different types of soldiers. For example, if exactly half your army is composed Archers and the other half are Swordsmen, you will receive the full 30% boost. With this new update, there have also been several changes made to the War system and the Taxes paid to the Emperor. Kingdoms whose Kings are inactive for more than 30 days will automatically be dismantled, and if the Kingdom is part of an Empire, the Emperor will receive a notification when this happens. In the near future we will reduce the 30 days. Regarding the taxes paid to the Emperor, the Emperor will now receive the taxes from all the territories under his influences, but only the percentage for the highest position. Which means that from a total of 28% production taxes paid to the rulers, the Emperor will receive 7% of all production taxes. If there are no Kings, Count or Barons under you as an Emperor, the taxes will go to the Gods (Partners Funds). The previous system was a boost in regards to the taxes paid to Emperors, introduced in the War 2.0 Update, which has now been modified as explained above. With the new modifications, as an Emperor, it is beneficial for you to have a small Capital Kingdom and the Kingdoms under your influence to have active Kings. Your purpose is to coordinate war campaigns to attack or defend while your Kings will take care of conquering more territory to annex to your Empire. You can now also move buildings. The move button is available in the Building actions panel once you select the building. When you move a building, you will receive back half of the materials you used for building it and the building will be rebuilt in the new location. The stockpile can be moved for a maximum of 3 times ever so take care when deciding on a location. The difference between demolishing and moving is the fact that you get to keep your citizens and their living place associated with that building, as well as any stock, plot of land and the settings. Make sure you have enough materials to rebuild to not encounter any problems with the move. A new version of the CaveToKingdom patcher has also been released, so make sure that you open the game from the patcher so it can update itself before trying to log in. If the patcher is not updated, you will not be able to update the client to the latest version. Release Notes are available on the General Forum, the Beta Release Notes – Updates thread. Have fun!

The Second Carrier is now Available for Verified Accounts!
In this new update, Verified accounts can choose to upgrade the Stockpile to level 2 and as a result unlock the second Carrier. To unlock the 2nd Carrier, once your account has the Verified Status, you can research “Stockpile Level 2” from the Research menu, Buildings. Once Research, you can choose to Upgrade your Stockpile by selecting it, and clicking on the Upgrade button.
The 2nd Carrier will follow the Priorities list, depending on your settings. For example, while the 1st Carrier will transport the materials with the 1st priority, the 2nd Carrier will transport the materials with the 2nd priority. Once the stock of the transported materials will be gone, the Carrier will continue with the 3rd priority on the list, and so on. Remember! The second Carrier will only be available for the duration of the Verified status. Once the status has expired, the stockpile will automatically downgrade to the 1st level and the second Carrier will return to be a citizen. You can apply to Verify your account in the Invest menu, Verify Account option.

View ArticleStockpile
Here is where all the materials needed for the construction of the buildings in the Kingdom are stored, food, armors or anything else you might buy or sell at the Marketplace. The carrier is tasked with transporting the product to and from the Stockpile, as the time it takes to do a round trip to and from, depends on the distance of the stockpile from the other buildings. That is why it is important to take that into account when placing the stockpile and other buildings. A shorter distance between them means faster transportation and therefore better profit over time. When you buy something from the Marketplace, the products will be stored in the stockpile until used.

The Windmill is necessary in order to make the wheat flour which in turn will allow you to make the bread needed for your citizens. The Windmill processed the Wheat, Corn and Oat sacks into flour which is a fine powder used for cooking and baking. In order to be able to build the Windmill, you will first need to research the technology behind it, in order to make better use of your resources. You can do so from the Research menu, Buildings. After the Research is done, the building will be unlocked and you will be able to build and use it freely. Along with the Windmill building, a new job has opened, the Miller, which is the person who operated the Windmill and processed the sacks into flour. You also need to have your carrier transport the purified grains by the Thrasher in order to process it and make it into flour. The flour can later be transported to the Bakery to make bread for the citizens as a basic food group or to be sold on the Marketplace.
