This guide contains all you need to know to get 100% achievements on "9 Kings" game Overview, Terminology and Useful Info OverviewGame consists out of years (treat them as rounds). Each year consists out of four phases (in that order): card select phase, year-effect phase, building phase and battle phase: On card select phase you select a new card out of three that will be added to your hand (skipped on year 1, after boss-battles and if "Burglar" perk is selected). Card pool always contains cards from King with which you fought last (+ Castle card, until Castle is max level). Once card is selected "year-effect" phase begins During automatic "year-effect" phase some year-specific effect will be played (Merchant, Peace or War, etc.). Once that effect is dealt with - building phase begins. This phase is skipped if there are no "year-effect" during that year. During building phase you're allowed to play cards from your hand, Once building phase is other, some building effects are triggered after which battle phase begins During battle phase you simply observe as your troops and towers participate in battle against other Kings (you can assist them using your Castle ability). Once battle is over - years ends and new year begins Terminology Plot - square on a field Castle - your base, that will aid your units in battle. If enemy's unit will reach your castle during battle - you will lose a life (up to 3) Tower - construction that stands on a plot (except "Flamethrower") and will be ignored by enemy units. Towers can't be affected by troop-specific cards ("Farm", "Procreate", etc.) and can't be affected by most spells ("Steal Coat", "Static", etc.) Troop - unit that will go on the battlefield during battle phase. Troops can be affected by most cards in the game. Significant difference from Towers - there can be more than one unit on a single plot (increased by leveling up, some additional cards and several effects) Building - construction that occupies a plot. Cannot be affected by most of cards and effects, but provide an effect on adjacent cards (except "Quarry", that provides effect on all towers and a castle, whenever they are) at the end of the building phase Card - playable card in your hand Hand - bottom part of the screen, from which you can play cards on the field. Once you left with 2 cards or less - your turn ends and battle begins; as well as you can't start battle until you will have 2 cards or less in the hand. It is unknown (for me) if there is an upper limit of cards in hand, I reached ~12-15 at most Notes and additional information All achievements except "True Royalty" can (and advised to) be obtained on easiest difficulty (Peasant) Most achievements either require or advised to play as King of Greed or King of Progress, so during you playthrough prioritize on playing them (for leveling up and gaining perk points) Each king has at least 3 unique perks. Perk can be bought for perk-points, which can be obtained from leveling up that King (by playing). Perks are not shared between Kings - each King has its own set of perks, perk-points, level, etc. King against which you will fight is selected randomly (as far as I saw - you can't fight the same King 2 times in a row, with exception of boss battles). You can always see which King you will fight next for few seconds in the right bottom corner once building phase begins (except year 1) Due to limitations of characters in Steam Guide sections, I divided lists of year-events, policies, blessings and special cards on separate sections - all that information might help you get an achievement (especially, one of the hardest ones). And only after all that you can find section for every achievement. Huge thanks to Milkyway, Linifimeu and Dr. Husten for awesome guides to hardest (or, at least, "grindiest") achievements to which I referred to in related sections. List of year-events Until year 33 every year-event happens on specified year. After year 33 every year-event happens once in 11 years. List of all possible events (and year at which they happen): Royal Council (5, 14, 21, 29, 37, 48, ...) - during "year-effect" phase you can select a random policy - passive effect that will be applied until the end of the game (some policies have one-time effect). Some policies appear only if you play as specific King. For full list of policies refer to "List of all policies" chapter Prophet (7) - blessing, that provides some random upgrade. Mostly this upgrade affect random plot (selected randomly from unoccupied slots, if possible) and most likely will affect troops. This blessing will be applied at year 17 (at "year-effect" phase) Diplomat, War (9, 35, 46, ...) - during "year-effect" phase you need to select new unique enemy (King) that will be added to the pool Diplomat, Peace (23, 42, 53, ...) - during "year-effect" phase you need to select a King that will be removed from the pool (except yourself, which is represented as rebellion) Merchant (11, 25, 31, 40, 51, ...) - you can purchase cards during "year-effect" phase. Each next card costs +15 coins more (or +50%?) The Tower (12, 19, 27) - during "year-effect" phase you can add 1 more plot to the field for free (after year 33 you will be able to add more plots for 30 coins at any year) Boss fight (33, 66, 99, ...) - year at which you will encounter King alongside with his army. Losing at this year will not take one of your lives - instead you will lose the game Chaos (44, 55, 66, ...) - enemies become stronger (from stats perspective) List of policies Policy is obtained at Royal Council. Policy usually is passive skill that will affect your troops, build or something else. Some policies have one-time effect. Some policies will appear in the pool only if you play as specific King. Most of policies can be obtained more than once. List of all policies, their description and some comments (if needed): General policies "Bunker" - Increases the attack speed of your towers by 50% "Exploration" - Unlocks 3 new random plots "Eyeglass" - All your units and towers have +20% chance to deal critical damage "Feast" - Doubles the maximum HP of all troops "Gambling" - Receive two cards after every battle. You can no longer choose your loot (skips card select phase) "Gunpowder" - Increases the damaging range of area attacks by 30% "Iron fist" - Doubles critical damage "Leatherworks" - Doubles the movement speed of all your units "Loan" - Receive 99 gold coins "Outsourcing" - Receive 9 free re-rolls "Overwork" - Your building apply their effect one more time "Poison Thorns" - Every time enemies attack your units, those enemies gain 1 poison stack "Sharp Blades" - Increases the attack of all your units and towers by 30% "Venom" - Every poison effect is now applied twice "War horns" - Summons are 50% stronger King of Nothing policiesHave no unique policies King of Spells policies "Abracadabra" - 10% of all enemies turn into frogs "Glass Staffs" - Your wizards now have 100 attack points but only 1 HP "Re-enchant" - Doubles all enchantments of all your active troops "Spiremana" - Doubles the amount of healing rays of your Spires "Static Fields" - Doubles the attack speed of your Citadel's lightning bolts (Citadel - is King of Spell's Castle) King of Greed policies "Bargain" - Merchant's cards cost half the price "Burglary" - All active troops gain 2 stack of Midas Touch "Insurance" - Receive 1 gold for every 9 allied unit deaths "Salvage" - Cards thrown into the pit return 3x more gold (pit - is a well to which you can send cars to sell them for 9 coins by default) "Scimitars" - Thief attack are always critical strikes King of Blood policies "Covenant" - Doubles the stats of all active Demon's Altars "Embalming" - Enemies killed have a 10% chance to be summoned back to life as allies "Evil Pact" - Doubles the maximum quantity of Pagoda's summoned imps (Pagoda - is King of Blood's Castle) "Fireworks" - Bombers have their attack range area doubled "Transmutation" - All active troops are replaced with level 3 Imps King of Nature policies "Fertility" - Receive 3 Procreate cards immediately ("Add 9 units to the troop") "Nettle" - Your Treant attack now deals damage to enemies (Treant - is King of Nature's Castle; but this policy doesn’t work with auto mode) "Populate" - Whenever any unit is added to any plot, add one extra unit "Revitalize" - Doubles every heal effect you receive ("you" - meaning your units) "Wilderness" - Unlock 3 new random plots, with Forests on each of them King of Stone policies "Barricade" - Walls reflect 10% of damage taken "Dynamites" - Traps now cause double damage "Engineering" - Doubles the damage of all towers "Towerdome" - Stronghold can now build tower twice as fast (Stronghold - is King of Stone's Castle) King of Progress policies "Franeksteinian" - Converter towers now summon Bombers instead of Lab Rats "Gentrify" - All currently active plots gain one level "Scopes" - Adds 9 Precision cards to your hand ("Unit's first hit is always critical") "Splicing" - The level of all active Lab Rats is doubled "Ultragravity" - Doubles the attack range of your Mothership (Mothership - is King of Progress's Castle) List of blessings Blessing is a random effect that will be select at Prophet (year 7) and will be applied to random unoccupied plot at year 17. At year 7 for most of blessings random unoccupied plots is selected using the following principle: If there is an unoccupied plot on player's field (field, on which you're able to play cards - including ones you got from The Tower or "Earthworks" from King of Stone) - select random available (plot is highlighted during "year-effect" phase). If blessing requires more than one plot (like "Illuminism") - it may select the same plot more than once (the darker the border of highlighted plot - the more times it was selected for blessing; from light blue to blue to dark blue) If all plots on player's field are occupied - select random plot outside of player's field (which means, that you will need to get to that plot before you will be able to earn blessing's reward)In other words, if you want to have a small chance of getting blessing's reward - do not occupy all available slots until year 7 (most Kings unable to do so anyway) List of all blessings: "Baby Boom" - If you have a troop card on the target plot by the year of the prophecy, doubles its number of units "Illuminism" - The card on the target plots will level up in the year of the prophecy. Select 3 random plots, if less plots available - select some plot twice (indicated by darker rim) "Peacetime" - Doubles the HP of the card on the target plot in the year of the prophecy "Prosperity" - If you have 20 gold or less by the year of the prophecy, multiplies your gold by 9 (does not select any plot; to do that you will need to spend gold on re-rolls) "Zenith" - Doubles the damage of the card on the target plot in the year of the prophecy List of Special cards Special Cards can be obtained only from Merchant. They appear in the pool at low rate, on which you can affect with King's perks (increases chance of appearing Special cards up to +30%). List of all Special cards that I was able to find so far, with their description and some comments (if needed): "Shrine" - Spends 9 gold every year to level up a random plot (including itself) "Scapegoat" - Passive backline unit. If killed in battle, generates 3 gold per level "Unify" - Sacrifice all troops adjacent to target. Target plot gains the number of units sacrificed "Razing" - Destroys target plot forever. Automatically triggers a Royal Council event ("forever" means that you no longer will be able to play cards on that plot until end of the run; Royal Council - allows you to select a policy) From various runs, I was able to find only those 4 cards (even with +30% chance), so I believe this is all. If I will find more, or someone will highlight it in comments - I will add them to the list above His Winningness

顾名思义。只需赢一场游戏 就像沙丁鱼一样

你需要在单个地块上获得99个单位。这是一个简单的成就，你只需正常游玩游戏即可获得。或者，你可以在获取【Ratticus the First】成就的同时获得它，因为该成就要求你将你的实验鼠（进步之王）升级到99级，这意味着你至少会有100只99级的老鼠（初始2只+升级获得的98只）。有几种方法可以增加地块上的单位数量： 1. 升级它们——大多数部队在升级时会增加部队数量。 2. 施放“繁殖”法术（自然之王）——为选定的部队增加9个单位——只需对部队施放此法术。 3. 通过“农场”招募（虚无之王）——为随机相邻的地块增加1-3个单位（基于农场等级）（使用“过度工作”政策可增加更多），因此确保只有一个单位与农场相邻。 4. 通过“婴儿潮”祝福——在第17年将随机地块上的部队数量翻倍，地块是在第7年随机选择 使用【神社】特殊卡牌的效果 - 每提升1级神社，可花费9枚硬币随机升级1块土地 已强化

你的其中一个地块需要造成999,999或更高的伤害。你很可能无法在无尽模式之外获得这个成就，因为大多数国王的单位总生命值不会达到100万。无尽模式会在你于第33年击败最终Boss后，选择继续游戏的选项时解锁。要获得这个成就，你需要优先提升单个地块（塔楼或部队）的力量，如果可能的话，让该地块造成大部分甚至全部伤害。这是一个简单的成就，你只需正常游玩游戏就能获得。或者，你也可以在获取【Ratticus the First】成就的同时获得它，因为该成就要求你将实验鼠（进步之王）升级到99级，在这个等级它们很可能会造成100万或更高的伤害。 【Sir Spends-a-Lot】

要获得此成就，你需要在一回合内购买9张或更多卡牌。最简单的方法是扮演【贪婪之王】，因为他的卡牌和政策能让你在各年度赚取大量金钱。卡牌只能从【商人】处购买。你可以将此成就与【Cheapskate】成就一起完成，因为后者要求你赚取999枚硬币，之后你就可以用这些硬币来购买卡牌。

【Like Sardines】成就的简易版本，但仅适用于单个单位。它要求你在一个地块上获得40个盗贼（贪婪之王）。获得此成就最简单的方法是在你的盗贼地块上使用4个以上的“繁衍”法术（自然之王），因为这会额外增加36个单位，加上1级地块默认的9个盗贼，总共会有45个。 Cheapskate

要获得此成就，你需要在任意年份结束时积累999枚以上的金币。选择【贪婪之王】很容易达成，因为他在游戏中有很多赚钱的方法。此成就可以与【So You Think You Can Speedrun】成就一起完成，因为完成后者的其中一种方法需要你扮演【贪婪之王】并处理掉卡牌，这将帮助你赚取足够数量的金币。

要获得【King of the Hill】这个成就，你需要将十字弩架设在野猪上。为此，你需要在战场上打出【十字弩（石之国王）】和【野猪（自然之国王）】卡牌，并确保它们彼此相邻——因为只有相邻的部队才能架设野猪。为了排除随机性，要确保只有【十字弩】这一个部队与野猪相邻。

要获得此成就，你需要将城堡升级到9级。为此，你首先需要以任意国王身份达到3级（通过游玩游戏），然后选择【Ingenious】 perk。获得此成就的更快方法是扮演【King of Progress】，因为他拥有【Overhaul】卡牌，该卡牌在牺牲另一个地块时会随机升级2个地块，且每次使用都会增加升级次数（可以升级同一个地块）。你可以将此成就与【Ratticus the First】成就一起完成，因为你很可能会为了获得该成就而扮演【King of Progress】，并大量使用【Overhaul】。

要获得此成就，你需要在不使用任何部队的情况下赢得游戏（达到33年）。这里的“使用”是指部队不应参与任何战斗，即建筑阶段结束时战场上不应有任何部队。获得此成就最简单的方法是扮演贪婪之王，并使用他的【分配塔】。你可以将此成就与【So You Think You Can Speedrun】成就一起完成，因为完成后者的其中一种方法需要你扮演贪婪之王，并且只使用【分配塔】。 Ratticus the First

要获得此成就，你需要将实验鼠（进度之王）升级到99级或更高。实验鼠是游戏中唯一可以无限升级的单位，每当任何相邻地块升级时，它就会升级。要获得此成就，你需要在实验鼠达到50级之前忽略“基因剪接”政策，并将所有升级都集中在实验鼠上——如果你把它们放在中间，周围环绕4个已占用的地块，这应该会增加你获得此成就的机会。例如，如果你投资“精巧” perk（允许城堡升级到9级），将其建在实验鼠旁边，再建3个建筑——当你升级它们周围的所有东西时，这将为实验鼠提供+14级。现在你需要专注于【Overhaul】卡牌（允许你通过牺牲另一块地块来随机升级地块）——因为它可以升级同一块地块，并且每次使用后升级次数会增加。除了【Wildcard】（无冕之王）、【Clone】（自然之王）和实验鼠本身外，另一张有帮助的卡牌是【Shrine】特殊卡牌，它能在建造阶段结束时花费9金币随机升级一块地块。当你的实验鼠达到50级时——只有这时才专注于获取【Splicing】政策（因为经过多次尝试，我开始相信在一次游戏过程中不可能多次获得它）——获得它几乎能让你达成一个成就。另外，在我写这篇指南的时候，Milkyway又创建了一篇指南——这次是关于那个成就的。请欣赏作者的作品：True Royalty

要获得此成就，你需要在国王难度下通关游戏。要解锁国王难度，你需要以任意国王身份至少通关一次以下难度（每完成一个前序难度，下一个难度就会解锁）： 农民 乡绅 骑士 领主 男爵 伯爵 公爵 王子 解锁国王难度后，剩下的就是努力争取胜利，不断尝试直到通关。不过，有一种更简单的方法可以几乎无需刷取就能获得此成就。 So You Think You Can Speedrun

要获得Die Hard成就，你需要在9分钟内通关游戏。在SteamDeck或使用任何手柄的情况下无法获得该成就，原因很简单，你会在建造阶段花费大量时间。你可以随时在暂停菜单的右上角查看游戏内计时器，但请注意，根据我的观察，游戏内计时器永远不会停止——无论是在过场动画期间，还是在暂停菜单中等等。不过，感谢Linifimeu，有一种更简单的方法可以通过扮演贪婪之王来获得该成就。

要获得此成就，你需要存活到第99年（包含第99年）。该成就在SteamDeck上无法完成，因为到第60年以后，数值会变得非常大，SteamDeck无法足够快地处理这些数值，导致帧率下降，这对你的敌人有利。任何“性能较弱”的电脑也是如此。只有在无尽模式下才有可能达到第99年，该模式在你于第33年击败最终Boss后，选择继续游戏的选项即可解锁。此成就非常“肝”，而且大多数策略在第70-80年后（从帧率角度而言）都无法“存活”下去。不过，多亏了Dr.Husten，有一种更简单的方法可以获得这个成就，几乎不需要刷——请参考本指南。
