The latest news

Following on from our release of Calamis Earthshaker we are excited to reveal The City of Kings character sheet, enabling you to create the hero you want to play.

Each hero has a unique skill tree containing 12 skills and a custom design, but the stats, actions, equipment and worker areas remain the same.

For a full overview you can watch this video where Frank walks through the 5 key sections of the character sheet and what they do.

STATS AREA

Your hero has 6 stats:

HEALTH

Your health is represented by a maximum and current value, the maximum represents how much health your hero can have whilst the current is how much you have at this moment of time.

For example, if you have a maximum health of 10 and suffer 3 damage, your current health will be reduced to 7. You then need to be healed to restore the 3 damage or risk adventuring with only 7 of your 10 health points.

ATTACK

How much damage you do when attacking a creature.

HEAL

How much health you restore when healing yourself or another hero.

RANGE

How many tiles you can reach across when attacking a creature or healing another hero.

MOVE

How many tiles you can cross when performing a move action.

LUCK

Adding an element of chance to your attacks and heals, if you like rolling dice for combat you can focus on luck to roll dice when you attack creatures and hope for good rolls!

THE WORKER AREA

In The City of Kings you control a hero and a worker, as you continue on your adventure you can unlock a second worker allowing you to control a total of 3 characters.

Workers have 3 stats:

MOVE

How many tiles your worker can move when performing a move action.

GATHER

How efficient you are at gathering resources from resource locations.

SCAVENGE

How efficient you are at scavenging enemy bases looking for resources.

Each worker has a storage area where it can hold up to 6 resources.

EQUIPMENT AREA

There are 4 equipment slots available for your hero, legs, body, head and arms. You can equip items into the legs and body slots at any time but the head and arms slots must be unlocked.

You can see on the character stats section that the head slot unlocks when your maximum health reaches 8 or your attack or heal reach 5. The arms slot unlocks when your health reaches 10 or your attack or heal reach 7.

SKILL TREE

Each character has 12 unique skills spread over 3 tiers in the form of a skill tree. As you level up you will be rewarded with skill discs which you can place on the tree, working your way up towards the skills you want.

Each skill disc must be placed either on the very bottom row of the skill tree, or in a slot connected to another slot already containing a skill disc.

ACTION AREA

On your turn you can choose any combination of actions from your action area, you will have 4 action tokens to place in the chosen slots.

You may choose to do 4 actions with your hero, 4 actions with your workers or any combination you desire. As such, you can choose to focus just on your hero or worker management if that’s the style of play you enjoy.

There are 6 actions.

MOVE (HERO AND WORKER)

Moving your hero/worker across the board.

EXPLORE (HERO AND WORKER)

Turning over an unexplored map tile

ATTACK/HEAL (HERO ONLY)

Either attack a creature or heal a hero.
