oney, they say, makes the world go around and the world of King Arthur’s Gold is no different. Coins are awarded to a player for accomplishing various tasks such as building, mining, destruction, and of course, killing. Coins may then be spent on various things like arrows, bombs, and can even be used to replenish depleted hearts. Beware however, because upon death, a percentage of your coins will drop. Players will automatically retrieve any dropped coins they touch.
esides coins, other resources and objects can be retrieved from the battlefield. Upon death, a player will drop all the resources they had. Players will automatically retrieve things associated with their class - knights pick up bombs, archers pick up arrows and builders pick up resources. Other items can also be retrieved manually by using the pickup / drop key as shown below.
ertain structures and objects in King Arthur’s Gold can be interacted with. A radial menu is used to help the player understand their options. Other game mechanics use this system as well, including the quick-chat, and emote menus. Below, a player is shown changing class from a knight to a builder.
nights are the King’s most hardened warriors. Relentless, they train their bodies to become an unstoppable force of metal and will-power. With sword & shield, these units excel at dealing massive blows to both flesh and bone, as well as creating a strong defense from incoming attacks. What’s perhaps most intimidating about these units is that recently, the King has provisioned these units with a new technology best described as ‘explosive’.
rchers are masters of ranged combat. These units often come from a heritage of woodsman and survivalists who hail from the outskirts of the kingdom. This has taught them to be extremely resourceful on the battlefield, often crafting make-shift arrows from, and even hiding in, the woods they once called home. While extremely effective when deployed in groups, showering the battlefield with arrows, it’s also possible that a single sharp-shooter can fell several enemies before they even catch a glimpse of their attacker.
uilders are the backbone of the kingdom. The role of these units is threefold; digging, gathering, and construction. What these peasants turned specialists may lack in combat ability, they more than make up for with hard work and perseverance. While some builders might enjoy mining and construction away from the battle, their ability to create paths and efficiently demolish enemy buildings on front line cannot be ignored. Interestingly, these units have developed an ability to find materials that are hidden deep within the earth that other units remain oblivious to.
