Getting 1 from NH is luck. The reality is:
View attachment 2419
I earn enough coins to buy 4 or 6 KP every day. Look at that 767K price again. Two KP is over 1.5 million coins. I do that twice every day, plus some so that it averages to 5 KP purchased every day.
Now would you like to say how someone is playing this game poorly again?
I was trying to include renewable KP gain, only. I excluded anything that was, in theory, limited. Since provences, purchased KP, etc scale in cost, I didn't include them.
Also, to clarify, the people who are "Playing poorly" are the ones who aren't doing Tournaments at all, and not getting that free KP.
And I said I was only talking about combat, not negotiating. Typically, my provinces actually look like this:
1) ****** 2) ****** 3) ***** 4) ***** 5) **** 6) **** 7) * 8) * 9) * 10) ** 11) ** 12) ** 13) ** 14) ** 15) ** 16) **
You know that round two of provinces 10 and up give you 5 kp each, right?
Ok, I totally misunderstood what you were saying, then. Again, when I said people were playing poorly, I was referring to players who don't do tournaments, or who don't negotiate tournaments after fighting (since you can get further, as you pointed out). I'm similar to you, in that I fight early rounds, then start negotiating. Some of the "poor players" I was referring to are the people in my Fellowship who have been playing for 2 years and have half as many relics as me, somebody who started during the egg event this year.
Also, it is a poor decision to level up your ToS with the idea that it'll give you more KP. I don't care to redo my math, but it's over 1000 kp to get to 2 kp a day. I do think it's probably worth the space it takes up at level 1, though. Somebody else might disagree, but renewable KP is very hard to get in this game, especially compared to FoE, which I started a month before Elvenaar, and in that game, I get 100 "KP" a day just from buildings and regen. (In FoE, they are called Forge Points or FP, but they are identical in function)
