Step one of becoming a KOC player:
You start out with a single city. But as you will notice, you can actually have 8 cities under your rule. Don't worry about building them all right this second. You need to learn a few basics before you do that. The first move you want to make is checking the Shop tab. Once in there, find the Chests tab and if you see one or two that are set at 0 Gems. Get them. They have all you city deeds and many more prizes for free to help you while you start out. Once you have "bought" them, go to your inventory tab, click on chests again and open your new prizes.
City Names:
One of the great tools you will receive in those awesomely free boxes, will be some naming ceremonies. You are going to want to re-name your first city. It is automatically named the same as your Lord or Lady name. You want to avoid that! Later in the game another player will be able to find your "main" city aka most important city if it is named improperly and you don't want that to happen.
Make sure that all city names are not numbered like:
Make them something special to you, like....

Building your City:
Each city has plots that you have to build buildings on. I recommend First building the building called an Embassy. This building allows you to join an alliance. Alliance members can then send you resources and further help so you can get building your cities up.
While your embassy is building you may want to go to our bots tab here on the site and download some bots. Don't worry about setting them up once you have them. Lets focus on the city you have first.
The second thing you will want to build is your field buildings. Click the field tab in the left hand corner. You want the four buildings, Farm, Sawmill, Quarry, and Mine. These will give you more resources so you can build more buildings in your city. More on fields below. Be patient it can take a few days to get on your feet. That is what an alliance is for.
Once you have those built the rest does not matter as far as an order. But these are the recommended number(s) of each building you should have. NOTE this varies between leaders in alliances, so talk to the officers and see what they would suggest. Some buildings can only be built once. Some as many as you like.

Fields:
Your fields are what produce your resources(Res). Like Food, wood, stone, and ore. You need these materials to keep building your city and also to feed troops in the near future.
Your city starts out with 13 free spaces in the field. But each time you level up your castle you get more spaces. Don't worry about your castle for now, just fill in the 13 spaces first.
You can fill the spaces in however you like. You may want to talk to your alliance members again to have them help you figure it out.
Lady H likes to do the following amount of each of the four field types.
Farms:3 - Produces food
Mines:3 - Produces Ore
Quarries:3 - Produces Stone
Mills:4 - Produces Wood
Why does she like one more Mill then the others? Because wood is what you use most when building things. So its good to have a little extra. But don't forget to ask your alliance members for resources when you first join. They can usually help get you on your feel faster then you could yourself.
