I was contacted, via my About page, about a new Lords & Knight battle calculator, seemingly based around Microsoft Excel.
The link that I was given was to http://www.lordsandknightsspreadsheet.com, but when I look now the site does not seem available.
Hopefully it will be available again as it looks to have some new features compared to other calculators.
I must remember to look again at the site soon!
A couple of weeks ago, version 2.1.0 on the iPhone version of Lords and Knights was announced.
There was nothing spectacular in the release to be honest.
The full list of new features is available on the Lords & Knights forum.
Everlasting Legion continue to extend their lead at the top of the United Kingdom 1 Server of Lords & Knights.
Points Change since 20/12/2011 (at 11/07/2012)
The graph above shows how Everlasting Legion have added over 207000 points since 2nd July. This is, of course, mostly down to moving players from their wing, Everlasting Guild.
Total Points (on 11/07/2012)
This surge to over 1.6 million points has left all the other alliances trailing in their wake.
An update on the Version 2.0 download issues that many of us are experiencing – XRALITY have posted and said do not download:
If you do have the issue, the advice seems to be to keep trying to download until you hit an App Store server that does not have the corrupted binary files.
If you have not yet downloaded, then heed the advice and keep on the older version.
I know it is not XRALITY’s fault, so come on Apple! Sort it out!!
So, as suggested, the new version of Lords & Knights for the iPhone and iPad is available and is marked as Version 2.0. However, it does not seem to have been announced on the Lords & Knights website or their Facebook page.
Features include:
However, I am having a nightmare getting it to work. It does not launch when updated from my iPhone. And when I try to download it via iTunes, I get an iTunes error 8324 – which seems a popular error from iTunes at the moment according to this post. There is also this post, which seems to be the issue that I am facing, though I also note that many people are downloading with no problems.
Maybe this iTunes / App Store error is why XRALITY are not promoting the new version of the game yet.
So, for the moment, I cannot play Lords & Knights on my iPhone! Grrr!!
I suggest you hold off updating until Apple sort out their iTunes / App Store problems.
It looks like XRALITY are hoping to release a new version of Lords & Knights for the iPhone on Thursday 5th July.
See for yourself on the L&K Forum.
Have all the alliances fought themselves to a stalemate on Lords & Knights United Kingdom 1 Server?
It seems this may be the case:
Total Points (04/06/2012)
As can be seen from the graph above, all the major alliances seem pretty stuck from a points perspective, with only Uprising showing any ‘forward momentum’; all the other alliances seem to be fought to a stalemate, with Assassins holding their score at around 1,400,000 points, a score that they have had since mid-May.
Kings And Queens (the old Kings & Queens, following their reforming) have settled down too, and are not showing any major change in points score over the last fortnight.
For those of you that want a break from Lords & Knights, a fantasy football league has been set up for Lords & Knights players on the Sky Sports website.
The PIN is 8015698, so sign up and join in the fun!
It has been a while since I have published the league table, so here it is. I have split it into two, showing positions 1 to 10:
League Table (1 to 10) (26/05/2012)
And also positions 11 to 20:
League Table (11 to 20) (26/05/2012)
The key change has obviously been the break up of Kings into its constituent parts: Kings & Queens / Kings and Queens; NW Army; Royal Crown Elite etc. The other change has been the merger of Shields and Knights of the Steel Storm to create Knights and Shields.
The wars on the United Kingdom 1 server of Lords & Knights is getting more confused.
As I posted previously, Benztown Allies took a bit of a kicking after it declared war on Assassins. It looks like some of their members left to join Golden League, who also then began a war with Assassins.
Benztown Allies and Golden League (26/05/2012)
Golden League have lost points since going to war, but this could be as much to do with players leaving the alliance than the efficiency of Assassins, who seem to be fighting on a number of fronts.
