The first major consideration to make upon arrival in Vermance is whether you will join a pre-existing kingdom or create your own.
Joining a rising Kingdom or an established power will speed you on your way to understanding the many aspects of the server and can provide purpose for players who wish to play a supporting role, but you may also find yourself having taken a side in an ongoing war.
Creating a Kingdom allows you to create your own path in Vermance, but leading a Kingdom can be complicated due to tax managment, weekend Warfare, and more. If you wish to create your own, do /k create {kingdom name}.
/k home - Used to return to your kingdom home.
/k chat {kingdom, ally, ranged} - Enters you into Kingdom, Ally, or Ranged chat.
/k info - Displays basic info on the Kingdom's wealth, resourcepoints, members, taxes and more.
/k top - Lists all Kingdoms by Kingdom Might. The top three Kingdoms receive increasingly substantial gold and resourcepoints rewards at tax time.
/k nexus - Allows you to move your nexus.
/k bank donate - Allows you to donate money into your Kingdom for taxes.
/k bank withdraw - Allows you to take money out of your Kingdom if needed.
/k invite {player name} - Allows you to invite players.
/k kick {player name} - Allows you to kick players.
Kingdoms have a fixed taxation rate to the server, and players have a fixed taxation rate to the Kingdom. These cannot be changed. To see your Kingdom’s taxes, do /k info. Taxes will run daily, and if your members cannot pay their taxes, they will be kicked. If your Kingdom cannot pay it’s taxes, it will be disbanded. Be sure to keep money in your Kingdom Bank to stay ahead!
Resource points are spent by Kingdom leaders to purchase structures, acquire Kingdom upgrades, and to claim land. More details on this can be found in the Nexus section of the guide, but you can already see that resourcepoints are highly valuable. Some well organized Kingdoms base internal promotions off of members donating certain amounts of resourcepoints. A Kingdom cannot survive without them.
Resourcepoints can be collected from the world itself. To see what is most valuable, do /k tradeable - bet keep in mind the names of some items listed are incorrect. To donate certain items for resourcepoints, open your Kingdom Nexus, find the Recourcepoints Converter (barrell), and drop your items in there to convert them.
The Kingdom Nexus is the heart of a Kingdom.
Within it you can control every aspect of your Kingdom - vault, players, ranks, permissions, misc. upgrades, passive upgrades, buy useful structures, donate resourcepoints, purchase shield protection, and more.
Unfortunately there are too many features to get into within the Nexus itself, so to learn more read the GUI within the Nexus to gain a better understanding of what does what.
The Nexus is the target of a ransack war. To read more about ransack wars, view /guide offence.
