Armory Guy calling them "M'Lord"

Command Center
The Command Center contains a synopsis of all the information about
your army, including your overall rank and your attack, defence and covert
rankings. It also shows your strength in each area, how much gold you
should receive at the start of the next turn, information about army size
and disposition, and lists your officers.
[ return to top ]
Kingdom
The Kingdom Page shows your kingdom name, the status of your kingdom, who
is the leader of your kingdom, and all of the kingdom officers. There is a
command central station in which you can perform certain actions such as sending
the entire kingdom an in-game message. Other kingdoms is where you may view a list
of all other kingdoms in the game and their status.
You will notice that Kingdoms have a rank of their own. This is measured
simply by the amount of players that are in a Kingdom. Only one thing is effected by
Kingdom size (excluding the obvious benefits of security in large numbers and the
benefits of having a kingdom to back you with turns and gold). There is an additional
kingdom bonus. As stated above, it can be chosen only once. This bonus adds to one of
four categories: Strike Action, Defense Action, Covert Action, or Income Now as
the Kingdom rank, it is depicted in this chart:
- Outpost - Up to 10 members
- Shire - 11 to 20 members
- Barony - 21 to 40 members
- Dutchy - 41 to 75 members
- Kingdom - 75 and up

Attack
The Attack page is a listing of all the players currently taking part
in the game. It starts off on the page of players whose rank is close to
your own (you can see your own position on this page, your name shows up
in bold text). Using the Next and Previous links at the bottom of the
page, you can move up and down the rankings looking for suitable armies to
attack. To find out more about any army, click on that player's name.
This will give you their stats page, showing their army size, how much
gold they have, and various other info. At the bottom of this page are two
buttons, allowing you to either Send a Message to this player using the
built-in messaging system,
or to Attack them to try and take their gold.
If you choose to Attack the player, you will be taken to another page
which allows you to select various types of attack (including covert
missions and reconnaissance), and other details about your
planned attack.
If you are planning a normal attack, you will have to specify how many
attack turns you wish to use - you can see how many you have available at
the top of this page. The more turns you use on one attack mission, the
more gold you will take if your attack is successful - however, you will
also sustain more casualties and weapon damage when using higher numbers
of attack turns.
If you are planning a covert mission, you will have to specify how many
spies to send. Sending more spies will enable you to find more info, but
increases your risk of being caught in the act.

Attack Log
Your attack log is divided into two parts - people who have attacked
you, and people you have attacked. Each part shows the 30 most recent
attacks, with next/previous links for changing the view to show older
attacks. Next to the basic details about each attack is a link to the full
battle report, which will give more detailed information about that
particular battle. Entries in the attack log will be deleted after 1 week.
[ return to top ]
Armory
In the Armory you will see a list of your current weaponry, along with
buttons enabling you to repair it if damaged, check it for sabotage, and
scrap or sell it. Underneath that is a list of all available weaponry for
your army, which you can purchase items from if you have sufficient gold.
At the bottom are the upgrade areas for siege technology and
fortifications.
Repairing damaged weapons is done on a per-weapon-type basis. Damage is
shown as an average of how many points of strength each weapon of that
type has lost. You choose how many points to repair (on all weapons of
that type simultaneously), and then click the button (which will be
showing you the cost per point). Note that sometimes when you buy new
weaponry, the average damage shown will fall, as the new item will be at
full strength, thereby reducing the average damage across all the weapons
of that type.
If your weapons are above 60% strength, you have the option to sell
them back to the armory for an amount of money based on their state of
repair. If they are undamaged, then you will receive 70% of the amount you
paid for them originally. If your weapons fall beneath 60% repair, you are
instead given the option to scrap them - this will enable you to discard
largely ineffective weaponry and start again with new, healthy items.

Training
On the training page you can see details of your troops, as well as
training troops as attack or defense experts, or as spies. You can also
remove attack/defense training, to allow you to reallocate troops from one
category to the other. You cannot reallocate spies.
Also on the training page are the upgrade areas for spy level and unit
production. Increasing your spy level will give you a better chance of
successfully spying on or sabotaging other players, and will help to
protect you from other players who attempt to spy on you.
Upgrading your unit production will increase the number of men you recruit
automatically once per day.
[ return to top ]
Intelligence
The intelligence page contains two lists of information. The first is a
list of any covert missions into your camp, which your own spies
intercepted. This may allow you to work out who has been spying on you or
sabotaging you, if some of their missions failed.
The second list of information is the people you have spied on or
sabotaged. Here you will see the number of covert missions you have
launched against each person, with a link to a page containing the
detailed report from each mission. Covert mission are deleted from your
intelligence logs after 1 week.
[ return to top ]
Mercenaries
On this page you can see the details of your current troops, and you
can hire mercenaries. Mercenaries can be hired as attack specialists,
defense specialists, or all-purpose troops. Once hired, they cannot be
retrained. Mercenaries cannot be spies, and do not contribute to the
amount of gold you receive each turn, but they do boost your attack and/or
defense strength (depending on what type of training they have).
Mercenaries become available for hire at the start of each turn, but their
numbers are limited and so there are often none available shortly after
that.

Logout
The Logout option on the menu will log you out from War Omen.
This is useful if your computer is used by more than one person, to
prevent others from accessing your War Omen account. If you stop
using the site for a length of time, you will be automatically logged out
anyway - this is to help reduce the load on the extremely busy W.O.
webserver.

Messages
The Send Message page is accessed from a user's stats page, by clicking
on the Send Message button. You are then presented with a page which has
areas for you to enter a subject and a message to be sent to that user.
When someone has sent you a message in this fashion, you will notice
the message indicator beneath the main menu will change to show how many
new messages you have waiting for you. To read them, simply click on the
red number and you will be taken to the Read Messages page. The most
recent message will appear at the top of the page, with older messages
beneath it in reverse order of receipt. You can use the buttons on the
right to Reply to or Delete each message.
