December marks the return of Skellimas! Throughout December, earn Xmas Keys from Dungeons in Kingdom Karnage. Use your Xmas Keys to enter our Xmas Dungeon where if you defeat Skellimas before winning the battle you will win a guaranteed Skellimas loot.

In addition to the start of our Xmas promotion, we have some big changes coming to the Kingdom Karnage ecosystem!

First, Some Background

We have recently had some issues getting game updates approved by certain app stores. App stores by their nature currently don’t like cryptocurrency as cryptocurrency transactions are harder for them to monetise than regular fiat money. During November we faced the option of removing our game from some major app stores or making major changes to the game. We decided on the latter.

In addition to the changes we are making for the App stores, we are also delivering some major changes to the menu structure and simplifying things for new players.

The Changes

  1. Kingdom Karnage Token (KKT) - KKT will no longer be used in-game. Most places KKT is currently used will transition to red gems (including the auction house). KKT will still be awarded as prizes and will remain spendable on our website. Items currently for sale in KKT like Spell Books and Skandir/Skorpir Heroes will remain for sale on our website and in 2024 a new website-based auction house will be added that will support trades in KKT.
  2. Improved User Interface -You will note the background, icons, and menu style have all been refreshed.
  3. Game Modes - Adventure Mode, King of Karnage (KoK), and Campaign have been removed. This is to simplify and streamline the experience for the new player. Some of these features will be re-added at a later date when they have been revamped. As Campaign is being removed, so is the ability to earn a Pioneers Pride ring, which will not be returning as a Campaign reward.
  4. Dungeons Streamlined - Dungeons are now only 3 options “Random Dungeon”, “Catacombs” or “Midas Temple”. Both the enemy deck strength and your loot chances in a “Random Dungeon” will increase as your own deck strength increases.
  5. Prize Pools - Due to the changes in game modes the Community Fund now only fills 4 prize pools: PvP, Voting, Golden Touch, and Catacombs.
    5b) Adverts now fuel the KK prize pools - You can expect to see more dynamic PvP and Midas pools. Both the Golden Touch and PvP prize pools have had their share increased.
  6. In-App Purchasing (IAP) - You will now be able to purchase a select number of items through Apple/Android app stores. Initially, this will be red gems and Midas keys.
  7. Midas Dungeon - The Midas Dungeon will now pay out prizes in red gems. The rate will be more favorable than buying red gems directly from the store.
  8. Red Gem Rate - The rate at which red gems are distributed into the game will depend on the previous rates of advert income. It will begin at 2 red gems per advert but may both increase and decrease from this point.
  9. 2% Luck Item - The 2% luck item has been removed from the store. Any outstanding luck boosts will be used up each time you run Catacombs.
  10. Logs and Referrals - Both logs and referrals will be removed from the game and placed on the website. As part of this change, many new logs have been added including a diamond log, a red gem log, and a scrap log.
  11. Catacombs Key Revamp - The Catacombs Key system is being completely overhauled:
    -
    Player-owned rentals and bounties have been removed.
    - Game-operated rentals and bounties have been added.
    - Key rentals are now operated in red gems.
    - A Catacombs Prize Pool has been added.
    Catacombs Prize Pool
    -
    Catacombs now has its own KKT prize pool which receives a drip feed from the Community Prize Pool. This will be separated into two sub-prize pools, one for key owners and one for bounties.
    - The Key Holders Prize Pool will be divided among key holders once per day. Each keyholder's share is locked in a personal prize pool, of which 10% can be unlocked by completing 1 daily Catacombs dungeon. If a day is missed, 1% of that player’s personal pool is returned to the Community Prize Pool.
    - The Bounty Prize Pool will be used to offer bounties. Players will be offered a percentage of this prize pool every time they run a bounty. Bounties are now unlimited but do not generate a Catacombs loot.

Ask Us Anything!
This is an INCREDIBLY large update, which affects many parts of the game. No doubt everyone has questions so we have scheduled an AMA session for 29th November 2023 @ 20:00 UTC.
