City

Your city is the heart of your kingdom and the place where most buildings go, population is housed, as well as units will be produced. Next to the City is your field, where resources are produced. At the current state of the game you are able to have a total of three cities per server.

Depending on the state of your city, it will look differently on the map once certain buildings are constructed or have reached a necessary level.

City Name

When you first start playing Kingdoms of Camelot you choose your name and a name for your new city. This city name isn't permanent, using a Renaming Celebration you can change the name of your city.

Where to get Renaming Celebrations:

• Receive one automatically when you start playing Kingdoms of Camelot; OR
• Buy from the shop for 10 gems.

City Status

When you click on any city whilst viewing the map you are, among other things, able to view the city's status in the city profile (see the image on the right). Protection Modes discusses the known details of these statuses. Beginner Protection - this status is automatically given to cities when a player starts the game. It lasts for four days and cities in this state cannot attack other cities or be attacked themselves Normal - cities enter this status after the four day beginners protection period has worn off. These cities are able to attack others and they can also be attacked. Truce - this status can be obtained by using a Doves of Peace item purchased from the shop. Vacation - mentioned in the game, but otherwise nothing is known about it including how to set your city status to vacation.

Starting your second City

To start your Second City, you need:

• Obtain a 'Second City Deed' by completing the necessary quest or purchasing it in the shop.
• To be at least level 7 (Baronet).
• To conquer and control a plain.
• To reinforce it with 250 supply troops and 10,000 each of gold, wood, stone, ore, and food.

For more info, see Second City.

Starting your third City

To start your third city, you need: Obtain a 'Third City Deed' by completing the necessary quest. To conquer and control a plain. To reinforce it with 250 supply troops and 10,000 each of gold, wood, stone, ore, and food. Own 4 Sir Bor's Crests, 2 Sir Ector's Crests, and 1 Sir Kay's Crests. Crests can be obtained randomly from lvl 5 Wildernesses or higher when you successfully attack them. See the Tournament of Crests page for advice on farming for crests. Notes: You need the Crests to complete the Third City Deed quest. They will be consumed when you complete the quest. You do not need additional crests to build the third city. You do not need to have a Second City Deed to complete the Third City Deed quest. (I have an account with two cities that was created before the deeds, and he just built his third city without ever getting a Second City Deed. I don't know what will happen if you try to build your third city before your second.)

Things you should know before building a new city

There are a number of factors to consider when building a new city:

• Travel time between your cities for defence purposes and the exchange of resources.
• Travel time between your new city and allies' cities.
• Proximity to potentially hostile cities.

Some alliances have specific strategies for when and where to build your new city and can often offer you some good advice so it's a good idea to check with alliance leadership if you are a member of an alliance.

Note: Higher level plains give no advantage over lower level ones. However, a level 10 plain will make your castle wall appear white in map view.

Abandoning a City

It is possible to abandon a city that you have created by clicking on your castle and selecting the 'Abandon City' button under the castle picture in the top left corner. Note that you can only abandon one of your cities if you have more than one on the same domain. You cannot abandon your only city.
