adds
Has anyone noticed that during some point in the game there are adds? I have to close these and I really don't know what to do about it as it is ruining the flow of things. I noticed it at around 4 this morning and I cannot get them to go away. They appear at random and this is starting to turn me off from the game. Is there an in app purchase you could make to turn iAdds off in this game? Over all it's wonderful and I'm working on getting my stuff up to level 22 before my 14 days are up.
recruiting
For the person that asked about the flaming arrows, the alliance I'm in are recruiting. If you give me your castle link I'll give them the link and they will send you an invite. .
To find your castle, tap it on the map then copy the castle link and paste it here.
Oh by the way the web interface for the game is 100 percent inaccessible after you log in with facebook. Just thought I'd let those who wanted to know a while ago know.

It is but gold is more
It is but gold is more expensive and I'd rather collect my free castles with silver. the will be easy as all they are are level 1 forces. also the time is cut in half from 7 days to 5 days according to the easter message for anexing the castles.
Take care.
Moving your castle
Hello, can somebody show me step by step how to move my castle from one place to another? I want to move my castle a little over 200 fields. Does it cost silver or gold to do this? Also, how can I get gold? It says something about watching commercials, but I cant find the place to watch it. Another question If you lost a castle once, does it eliminate free castles that are one field away from you? I'm looking at a friend's castle, and they said they have a free castle one field away from them. I cant see it for some reason, why? If I cant move my castle, how can I start a new one and be in the vicinity where I want to be?
How can I get to the shop?
Hello, I'm back for more questions lol. I saw that they are having some kind of a special deal on gold. I see the link for the shop, but when I tried to double tap on it, it will not do anything. I also tried to activate it through the router, and still nothing happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First you can not move a
First you can not move a castle but you can capture additional castles by attacking and ccapturing them with troops and silver. You will need one thousand silver for each castle you currently own. If you own two and are trying to capture a third you need two thousand silver.
The reason you can't see the free castle next to your friend is your map is zoomed in. To zoom out turn off voice over, use the pinch inward gesture on the center of the screen and then turn voice over back on. You will now see a lot more previously unseen castles.
Lords and Knights often has issues with links getting stuck. If this happens log out in the profile tab and log back in to reset it. You can also see the gold purchaseable by clicking on the gold denomination link in the keep and profile tabs.
A word of advice before you run out and spend money on gold. Make sure you are in a fairly strong alliance. I've seen several castles get taken that were either not in an alliance, created one of their own with less than 10 members or were simply too weak and didn't play enough to assist when they were under attack. Most big alliances will help you capture a castle near the heart of their forces, where you will be better protected from hostile take overs. This game is not one of those join your friends alliance that has your drinking buddies or other part time players. You will want one with members that play often and will have your back with the strength to fend off attackers. I've done this and now am six castles strong and in the process of taking my 7th very soon.
I almost forgot
You can only move the number of fields of your castle. So if you are 150, you can only move 150 frields. This is important when trying to capture a castle very far from you.
Don't update to newest version
The new version has a bug that will give you issues with the map causing it to become stuck on a particular field. I would avoid it for now unless you really want to see silver during attacks.
It's always a good idea to keep the previous versions of certain apps in case something becomes broken in a new version, since you cannot downgrade via the appstore.
I'm not havingv the issue. I
I'm not havingv the issue. I managed to capture 3 castles so far and am working on a 4th the new version. Try contacting the dev with a bug report format as that seems to help. It helps me when somethign brakes on my site(s)
Take care.
Honestly
I don't bother the devs personally with minor bugs of inconvenience that don't affect the core of game play, and I probably won't with this one as it's easily dealt with. I complain enough as it is over small silly things that aren't important.
My sister and another have confirmed that the bug is there, but I've discovered it only happens if you swipe to a particular nameless field that only displays how far it is from you. I forgot to mention earlier that you can tap a different part of the screen to get out of being stuck, but will get stuck again if you swipe over that square.
I've already downgraded and I still suggest keeping older versions of apps if not for future bugs but for other things such as options/settings of a particular version you may like over the newer one. Older versions aren't useable forever but they should be good for awhile. An example is I kept an outdated version of Audible when they eliminated certain controls, but thankfully they decided to add them back in a few updates later. In that time though I didn't have to use the app without the controls I liked.
Lol. I bug the dev no matter
Lol. I bug the dev no matter how mundain. they want you to do that as it might effect other people as well. even if it is right down to a spelling and caps mistake. I want the game to be 100 percent perfect. lol!

Accessibility of battle reports in v3.5.0
Since the update has anyone had trouble viewing troop numbers on battle reports?
I could not get voiceover to read them and was wondering if anyone else had same experience, I tried sending feedback to the developer however it requires an image capture solution to complete
I could not solve it so I wrote a review on the App Store instead

Tutorial
Hi,I've downloaded the game but I can't get past the tutorial, I keep double tapping continue or complete but none of the buttons do anything, can someone explain how to close the tutorial window and get back to the game?

Library//Research
Hi, I'm new playing the gme, "how do I research for the first time?" I tapped on research for the long Bow, but I can't see any progress... Any suggestions? I'm still in the (14 day) period...
You will see time remaining.
You will see time remaining. You will be notified when it is done.
IOS 9
Just be aware that updating to IOS 9 will affect the accessibility of the app. A couple of things I have noticed is that it doesn't announce which castle is selected when you are selecting a different one. Also, in the graphical view in a castle, it reads the levels of the buildings wrong, e.g. it may say a level 10 keep is level 4, but it has no upgrade button, meaning it knows it is 10, just reading wrong. Hopefully they catch up and fix the issues. If someone could let the developer know, I doubt they are even aware.
I see what you mean Mike
I'm playing Crazy Tribes another game from the same developers as L&K. It has the same bugs you mentioned and maybe more. I'm still testing it out but the bugs are making it hard to play. I hope the devs fix this soon!
Finally decided to play...
So, I actually downloaded this game like a year or more ago, but never got into playing it. I came across it in my "purchased" apps and decided to give it another shot.
I'm quite impressed!
I'm roughly 2 days into my 14day "grace period" and already have 3 castles and 200 "points" or whatever the player rankings are based on (ya know, the points listed in your summary?).
I formed an alliance for other blind players to join, but would be just as interested in hooking up with an existing alliance consisting mainly of other blind players.
My L+K nickname is BlindSarcasm and my capitol city (main castle) is Rillanon. Its coordinate link is l+k://coordinates?16494,16260&144.
@BlindSarcasm is also my name on GameCenter as well as Twitter, so feel free to hit me up on both.
"Have fun storming the castle!" :D
Any tips on How to use the support bridge?
The subject mostly says it all. I'm on server Ten which may or may not be significant. It seems to be intensely color dependent, so I'm wondering if anyone has found a work around! Thanks!

Subjects and the Farm
Hi,
I've been playing this game before, and although I'm not playing at this point, I still throughout the 2 years I've been looking at this game find one thing quite strange. I'm writing this comment, because I'm interested whether I'm missing something here, or if this is something that's done by design.
The issue I've got, is regarding the subjects at your castle. So, let's say you've got a castle that's mostly complete, nearly all your buildings are done, all you need is a few upgrades. Say your farm is complete, and you cannot upgrade it anymore, so I assume this means that when you use up the subjects that the last upgrade gave you, you won't get anymore subjects? Now, this is what I find difficult to process. Even though the building upgrades are complete, and all the research projects are also complete, and you have over 400 of each army member, doesn't the subject limit put you at a disadvantage, considering once all the subjects are used, you cannot get anymore army for your castle. So, this means, that if someone sends an attack on your castle, with over a thousand of each army member, but you only have over 400 because you can't get anymore subjects, you will most likely have your castle taken. This is what it looks like to me at least. Can anyone confirm this, or tell me whether I'm missing something here? It just seems like players are put at a disadvantage here.

Losing a Castle
I'm concerned about that too, Hubert - can anyone shed any light on that if it is the case? Is there a level cap for the Farm? I haven't reached it yet, myself, though I find myself fearing attack by other players that seem to send an inordinate number of troops to the point where I can't seem to win.
For example, I started playing a month ago and, not knowing any better, opted to take over a Free Castle next to my original castle very early on in my "Newbie Mode"/"Protected Mode". Essentially my resources were split, as I was doing the Tasks and accepting the rewards between the 2 castles. Turns out this was a major weakness since at the very minute my Beginner protection ended (or so it seemed), both my castles were attacked by 1000s of troops. I tried to frantically update my Fortifications and make more troops, but both my castles were lost.
I opted to start again and this time avoided taking over a 2nd castle - I've been focusing all in updating my single castle. My Beginner protection just ended yesterday and, so far, I haven't been attacked yet (knock on wood.) I had got my husband to play, too, though, and he had gone the single castle route until a week after his Beginner's protection ended and he took over a 2nd castle - it seemed only 4 days after this that he was also attacked by someone on both his castles with 1000s of troops that he has no hope of defending against (60 battle rounds or something ridiculous like that.)
Is there a way to best protect against these attacks? I'm starting to get a bit hesitant, as my troop count is probably just as high as my husband's was and it looks like he'll lose his castles.
Maybe it's best not to branch into a 2nd castle until you've pretty well maxed your original castle? It seems like if you have more than one castle, you become a target.
But if there is a troop limit based on a Farm level cap, how are you supposed to defend against these things?
I suppose another factor is that hubby and I just created our own Alliance rather than join any of the other alliances peddling for our membership that seem to all use a ridiculous amount of symbols, etc., in their names. I guess having a powerful alliance at your back may deter these random attacks for fear of retribution? It seems in bad taste to demolish newbies so thoroughly, though this is the internet after all.
Makes me wish we had a castle building game that didn't involve the risk of players completely taking weeks of work away from you because they feel like being mean. Though I can see why they'd rather go after our castles instead of free ones - our castles will be levelled up already enough so they'll be better defended than a Free castle. It just seems hard to get a foothold.
Playing The Game
Hi Kristen,
My first tip of advice would be not to take over any castles until you first one is complete. I've tried many times to get 2 castles before my original castle was complete, and it never worked well for me in the end and I ended up losing both castles.
The farm maximum level is level 30, like with most of the buildings, and you'll have just enough subjects to upgrade all your buildings, complete all researches, and recruit around 500 of each type of soldier in the arsenal, however, there's no way to get more subjects, at least from what I've seen. The problem with being attacked by more than twice the numbers of your army, yes, that can be a problem, and it does look like we're at a bit of a disadvantage here.
I once was in a situation when I had one completed castle, and one that I just took over, I had a few army recruited in my new castle, and the most army I could in my original castle, however, I couldn't get the army from my new castle to defend my original castle, but I could do it the other way round, where the army from my original castle would defend my new castle. I'm not sure whether this was due to the fact that the new castle wasn't strong enough yet to be able to send army to defend my original castle. However, The last time I played, I lost my original castle, and was left with my new one, however, I'm not sure how I'll be able to defend my castles considering there's always more troops attacking me than I can defend against.
As for alliances, I'm afraid this experience isn't as good as people make it out to be. I find that creating your own alliance with friends is better, because then at least they'll help you. I found that when I called for help to other alliance members in the alliance that I've been invited to, they all have been ignored, so if you don't have an alliance with your friends, it seems like people won't be too keen to help you, at least from what I experienced.
Hubert
Re: Defending Castles
Thanks for the reply, Hubert. I think I'm going to stick with my original castle and try maxing it out and hope that I don't get attacked before then.
I did some searching online and the only defensive strategy I noted was called "trickling". Apparently it takes advantage of the fact you only need at minimum 101 troops in your castle at the time to trigger a battle round and that, even if you lose, you only lose 50% of your troops in that round (IE around 50.) Apparently the trick is to keep 50-60 troops arriving every 10 minutes just-in time for the battle rounds so that you have enough for the round, though your losses are minimized.
From the gist of this, you'd have to look at when the first round starts and find something to send your troops away for - lets say Market trades - and see how long it would take them to finish that and come back. So if sending 60 Archers away to trade for wood takes 1 hour, you'd wait until 1 hour before the battle and start sending 60 troops away to do trivial market trades every 10 minutes. Then, theoretically, you'd stop when you only had 101 or more troops left in the castle. Then when the battle starts, groups of 60 reinforcements would come in to replace what was lost in the battle round and hopefully will last long enough.
Seems a bit tedious, though may be the only way to ensure your castle survives enough so you can get the 5 castles or however much you need to make a Fortress.
I may see about trying it if/when I get attacked. Probably is too late for the hubby's castles, alas.
Re: Tripling
Sounds like an interesting method, haven't heard of that before, well, hopefully you won't, but should you get attacked do let me know if that method works for you. Although hopefully you won't have to use it too soon.
