Terrific collection of guides, nice work Acavado.
(Also...firstfirstfirstfirstfirst)

 

Thank you for this, even though I've read all of this (Sadly having to find it myself), It's great having it compiled.

 

Hey ! Acavado ! Maybe you should add this https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/the-low-down-on-tunnels.3932/ about tunnels. Even it's not really a guide, but more a compilation of tips.

 

Thank you very much. I've added it and never meant to miss it but somehow did; thanks for the reminder.

 

Good work! add on more tips/guides if you can!

 

Yep Acavado, you could also add this one https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/complete-structure-compendium.5602/, on your list, it is the complete list of all this shit... you know building design posted on the forum.

 

Thanks acavado this helped me alot! :)

 

Great post dude. For some reason I totally suck as fighting. I'm looking forward to gaining some tips.

 

Updated.
