Combat Strategies

Combat in Reign of Kings is resolved in real-time. This means that:


 * The timing of your attacks matters a great deal, especially if you want to survive spawn point campers.
 * There are different moves bound to different buttons on the mouse. The standard left-click is a regular swing, useful for chopping wood and people apart, but using the scroll wheel to scroll will attack with a thrust. Right-click causes a block/parry.
 * Don't stand still. Maneuvering around and keeping distance is an useful way to lure your opponent - and distract them from their surroundings, like your friend attacking them from behind with a pointed stick or other sharp implements.
 * Discretion is the better part of valor. Sometimes you just can't win, so flee when you have the opportunity. The only dishonor is getting your head chopped off - or being dragged to a dungeon and then having your head lopped off.
