Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City)

So, what the real pluses after eating it? What the difference btwn eating the cheapest food?

What i've to consume after 100 CAN for getting pluses?

All item healthiness' are listed in numeral values in the item title and description. For example health of MEAD is 1, BEER is 2, WINEs higher depending on maturity. Cheapest CAN is health 1 and other wisdom products (CIG, SHI, MUS etc) have higher health benefit.

Additional health points can be obtained from consuming something for the first time (variety bonus) and consuming something every day (time bonus loads by 2 health points each real-hour)

Ok! TY!
So, how mush HP Ive to consume to change health from Brutal to Powerful? 4 exmpl

Powerful is better then Satisfying?
I consumed 100 meat - Powerful
I consumed 100 mead - effective
I consumed 2 musrooms - effective
I consumed 2 W1620 - Satisfying

 

Roopatra has written the excellent Health Guide that is best accessed through our Gamepedia-based Wiki, and here's a direct link:
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Health_Guide#Effectiveness_of_food_and_drinks


In the items you can also see a number like "(H:5)", this is for example much better than "(H:2)" if you're trying to decide between two alternatives as this is the health "raw value" before any bonuses per each consumed unit.

As you can see yes, Powerful is better than Satisfying
For others, feel free to contribute to the Wiki and also please try to note if and when there's urgent needs! There's already quite a lot of content there that can be easily accessed instead of having to do archeological excavations in this thread.

No, the reason was, that im consuming more an more, but become weaker!
So I consumed 100 meat - Powerful first
I consumed 100 mead - effective after first consumshion
I consumed 2 musrooms - effective next
I consumed 2 W1620 - Satisfying next

So, if i eat more and better food, i become more healthy, but i became weaker!((

I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding the issue at hand, but I think you may be missing some of the more advanced mechanics that are explained in Roopatra's guide, so I would advice to read it with a deep thought. http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Health_Guide

For example;
- When you first time consume a particular health-related good (for example, the first consume for MEAT this year), you will gain a bonus for up to 50 units. So the first 50 MEAT you consume in a particular year is stronger than if you consume 50 MEAT again that year.
- You get a time bonus while not consuming, up to 20 hours I believe. So there's a clock ticking that will give your next consume a raw bonus +health, which reaches its cap in 20 hours. So if you keep a break and consume "evenly" during the week, you will gain this bonus to the max. It will also distort the fact that your first consume after a break will be a bit more effective than if you consume something else right after, as your bonus counter has gone to zero.
- There's a variety bonus, encouraging one to consume different types rather than large quantities of a single type.

I hope these will help explain why it works how it does. The subgame is not revealed in full by the designer, but instead above and many strategies have been found out by experimenting, so there is no correct answer. Instead one should try find their optimal strategy that also incorporates factors such as (i) do you wanto reach None-challenge every year or can you afford to take a hit; (ii) what goods can you afford yearly, of course you cannot overspend and everybody eventually dies; (iii) older characters get harder challenges so at some point it just becomes overwhelmingly hard and you might want to consider moving on to a heir, and so forth.

Crypto Kingdom will go on pause for the summer


* Time will be stopped;
* During the period that time is stopped, nothing will happen in the game;
* Development continues during the pause;
* When the game is resumed, it happens in the new Clans platform; all login+password will be the same, all money, land, buildings and items will be the same.


Most of the detailed questions will find the answer just by thinking: "The game goes on pause so that time is not moving. What can happen if no time passes? Nothing." If this leaves questions open, the admins:

SirJacket (Mayor)
Mooo (deputy GM)
saddam (treasurer)
Syksy (all-around good guy)
Roopatra (wiki editor)
and others will help. No help is needed of course since there is nothing that needs reaction - we decided to make this so that there is no need to make any changes or think. Just a summer break, and when it ends, the game is back even cooler.

The theory and practice of successful MMO RPG development knows the ebb and flow of player interest, and it is normal and smart to recharge interest by having a break when the community seems to require it. After a few months, the game is much fresher to play both because it has not been a forced weekly exercise for too long, and because there are nice new features, graphics etc.

Some might have noticed that I took a whole month off from this forum as an announcement tool. That was not a good idea - it contributed to the fast downfall of communication in the game in the past weeks. So when we put the game back online, this forum will be a main way to announce it. Reading the ingame billboard will also give enough info.

Important information:
* It is not allowed to leave game balances negative during the break. This is a serious offence because 1) it is not allowed and everyone knows it 2) we do not run fractional reserve. Please fix the situation immediately. You are held responsible for your clan members' negative balances and it is possible that the whole clan is foreclosed and all assets sold as we move to the pause.

More info will follow by the admins posting here. Thank you for this growth spurt of 1600-1647, looking forward to the next one!

[saddambitcoin]

Hear hear.

Let it be known that Saddam's Depository will be open for deposits and withdrawals as long as the changelog is active. If you have intended to make a withdrawal in the near future, please do so before the pause. Otherwise, your M balance will remain safely frozen until the game returns.

If you need to clear up a negative balance, please visit https://deposit.cryptokingdomgold.com for deposit info.

To reiterate, while the game is on pause withdrawals will be frozen.

Reasons:
The current withdrawal process requires that you initiate the transfer of M to New. Without this,
- I cannot verify that you are actually in control of your account.
- I cannot verify your actual M balance.

Thank you for your understanding!

Dear all NPCC competitors,

first of all, I want to thank you all for bearing with the long and hard competition! The new wine-consumption system has been a success and have really spiced up the wine markets, and I think the double suits worth has been also a good change. I appreciate everybody's effort and I hope to see an exciting finale in the competition.


That being said, I must warn you that the destiny of the NPCC competition is open after/during the pause. Please note this during the last few days before the pause, which is planned to take place in the year change.
It is very possible that the whole competition will end after the pause, since the planned CLANS-module will at least partially overlap or even completely replace the current NPCC system. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT IN YOUR DECISIONS.

Furthermore, I need to highlight (unfortunately I cannot yet confirm), that if the NPCC competition ends at 1647 pause at year change, the suits will again be worth much more; in previous competitions this last suits bonus has been 10-fold, while now we are giving 2-fold points for suits every year. Therefore, we reserve the right to change the last year suits bonus to 10-fold multiplied (or similar) after the pause, if the competition is decided to end (5 times more worth than it is currently, since it has been weighted 2-fold during the competition). I'm afraid I cannot yet give you a guaranteed answer to this as we are yet to be sure in what status the CLANS module is when gameplay is resumed.


The intention for the 10-fold weighting of suits at the end of each competition has been to reward players who have aimed at a sustainable economy for clothing and to reward them for the hypothetical years to come, as they have invested in suits that last a longer term than the ordinary consumables.

For your convenience I have given score sums for the so-far competition in the google sheet ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tgIzgMza7NQsTpMO9pHke1ZVXYH7l5Sj5bHdZHItivo/edit#gid=1569380517 ) . You may use these for guidance in your decision making, but please remember that the suits weighting for year 1647 is still open (it's probably either 2x or 10x).

For any further questions please contact me and good luck all in what might be the final rush!

EDIT: As confirmed below by HM, suits will instead be sold and credited for points using the M values at the end of the competition.

[rpietila]

10. When the module [Clans] opens, there is first a 2 year grace that the lacking number of suits will not cause penalty to the owner of the NPC. Then, according to my discernment (which will be communicated as it comes), the penalty will take 5-10 years to rise to the planned level approximately linearly. At the same time the happiness bonus for having excess suits will start from a higher-than-normal value and decrease to the planned level approximately linearly.
11. The NPCC remaining suits will be sold at market when the NPCC ends, so that the NPCC will get points for the money raised. The money goes to Town in the end. This procedure will be announced in advance so that at least 48 hours is given for placing the bids before the dump may start, and the total liquidation time is a year.

It is likely that the NPCC will close as planned. They will get to sell the suits to the market as explained above, and benefit directly of the full value of the suits as the money received will yield points. Even if that, for some reason, does not happen, their full value will be taken into account as Syksy explained.

In any case, the NPCC need not do anything now. Or anyone else. The game is paused, and will wake up from the very same situation. Enjoy the break!

As you have noticed and most at the IRC channel, only the time/calendar related events have been paused, e.g. production and spoilage of certain goods, progression of age and health challenge etc.
So in theory one can still function at the Agora market as normal, if I have understood correctly, which at least I don't mind.

Lets say I want to buy a quantity of CKGold, do I need to play the game or is there an investor-only option for joining Crypto Kingdom?

There is an investor-only option available. You need to create a FOC account,but there is a fee of 50 XMR if I remember well. Please take into account that the game is in a PAUSE at the moment for further development and it will resume again in some weeks,so now you can't make any actions.

Friend of the Court? Cool  , I'll wait the game resume to buy into then!

FOC actually stands for Foreign Owned Corporation.  It is a great option for people who don't have time to play,but only want to invest in the game.  Check out this wiki page http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Foreign_Owned_Corporation to find out more.

Hello, YM. Glad to hear all is well.

[Syksy]

Hello there!

I hope to hop on a holiday soon too...

[Wizard Developer P.J.]

Hello everyone,

I hope you enjoy your holiday

As it is previously announced , after 1 of playing CryptoKingdom Ultima game in new interface with more interactivity than ever, there is a moment to step into next stage of development.

New stage is called CryptoKingdom Clans and, sure, we have new logo too:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BySGTS-P87aeeUhNVmt3Qlg5Rzg/view?usp=sharing

Let me mention only a few things which will be part of:
- improved command line   
   Now is everywhere you go, accessible in every moment of playing
   Also, it is more secure one too! It will ask you to confirm every order before you execute it, just to make you sure.
   No more issues with pressing enter in the middle of command!

- Edit your home the way you want it
  Place your house, garden and all other elements where you want it. That layout will become visible on global map of the chapelry too.. So, our CK world will start displaying real lots and houses..

 - Quests
  This one will be huge
  It will provide you extra source to earn some good new objects or M, but also help you to learn game concepts and mechanics faster and more convenient..

 - Background tech improvements
  We did a lot of technical improvements in background in order to speed it up and make more stabile

  Looking forward to see you there enjoying in results of hour hard work, once game summer pause is finish.
  
  Let games beggins!

[ChrisPop]

These are great news PJ! But can you give us an estimate time of when the game will resume? btw the new logo link does not work. It says forbidden access.

These are great news PJ! But can you give us an estimate time of when the game will resume? btw the new logo link does not work. It says forbidden access.

Thanks for notification and sorry for issue with link. It should work properly now.

Regarding estimation, we will need to wait for King to sync our teams before starting game, but I expect to activate it very soon
