King Arthur's Gold is a team based side scroller, in which there is combat, building and mining. The core of the game is two teams pitted against each other in a battle. The official game modes, or more essentially, types of battle are [[Capture the Flag]] and the now unfindable [[Gold Hunt]] for Normal servers and [[War]] and [[Zombie Fortress]] for Gold servers.

Deathmatch is a mode where you will fight NPCs all named Henry while learning the basics of combat with the help of signs. You are also aided by your own NPC team. The A.I will often use emoticons at the appropriate time. Once all enemy tickets are depleted, you win the game and can play a new map.

Multiplayer is the main component of King Arthur's Gold. It supports over 32 players in a variety of game modes.

"War" mode is a bit like "Deathmatch". You must fight to the death against your opposing team, but unlike "Rapid Deathmatch", you have all three classes at your disposal and a building time. Each side has a limited amount of tickets that deplete every time you kill an enemy player. To win the game, your team must reduce the other teams tickets to zero, then kill the remaining players. It also differentiates with "Capture the Flag":  There are '''NO''' tents, '''NO''' outposts and you do not get any resources at the beginning of a game, you must collect them. The default maps have a small lake in the middle, and the two teams on opposite sides.

Official gamemodes:

==Capture the Flag==
+
===Take the Halls===
−
Capture the flag is a gamemode in which team Red and team Blue try to capture the enemy [[flag]] and return it to their own [[tent]]. The flag is perched atop the tent so you are going to have to jump to get it, and the tent is usually covered in defenses. At the beginning of a game, players will have time to build defenses before the assault begins. During this preparation phase, [[Builder|Builders]] can receive [[stone]] and [[wood]] refills by returning to the tent and picking up the stone or wood from the stockpiles, and a large red barrier blocks players from accessing the center of the map.
+
Take the Halls is a game mode where two teams fight over control of [[hall]]s scattered throughout the map. The goal of this mode is to capture every hall on the map.
  
−
In capture the flag mode, each [[classes|class]] serves their own purpose. Generally the builder builds defenses around the tent and helps others to destroy or surpass enemy defenses. The knight is the front line soldier, preventing the enemy from breaching the knight's team defenses, while pressing onward towards the flag. The archer supports the knight by forcing the enemy to shield with arrows.  
+
===Team Deathmatch===
 +
In this mode two teams fight until only one team is left alive. There are no respawns and each game usually lasts a few minutes. This mode has a time limit and also features coins that you can earn by killing the enemy. The players spawn with 20 [[coins]] each round, and they can use them to buy various items from the [[trader]].
  
−
===Strategy===
+
===Capture the Flag===
−
Capture the flag requires some thought and strategy (if you want to win that is).
+
Capture the Flag pits two teams against each other as they have to retrieve the other team's flags. The mode includes workshops and coins, similar to CTF in KAG Classic. Each team (on official maps) may have 1, 2, or 3 [[Flag|flags]].
  
−
* As the knight, try to go with others in battalions. This way, if there are no builders, you can collaboratively use your bombs to destroy buildings, as well as using your shields as ladders to scale walls to high to climb by yourself.
+
===Small Capture the Flag===
−
* As the archer, you can shoot through a friendly knight with his shield up if you're behind him, so try pairing up with a knight. In addition, try making your arrows fire (fully charged) in sync with a companion. One arrow will knock the knights shield down while the other goes through to damage him.
+
A traditional but fast paced Capture the Flag gamemode on very small community made maps.
−
* As the builder, know the spike pits won't kill an enemy if they just fall in, it will only injure them. They will most likely destroy your work. Multiple draw bridges with spikes on them do not hurt the enemy players, as spikes need an effectively solid platform to do damage, so as the enemy falls through, they do not take damage. However, spikes on drawbridges ''will'' hurt your own teammates.
+
−
* At the beginning of the match, you should always change to a Builder. Even if you don't have a good idea of what to build, you can always just add [[Castle_Back_Wall|Castle Back Walls]] for support or construct [[Trap_Bridge|Trap Bridges]] to help your team get around.
+
−
* A good strategy for capture the flag is to have knights at the front line and builders building walls behind them. This makes it harder for enemies to advance and if you have a outpost it can be a very efficient technique.
+

==Zombie Fortress==
+
===Challenges===

+
The Challenges gamemode is based on its Single-Player counterpart, where you can play cooperatively (or competitively) with other players to complete one objective per map. Each challenge has a maximum time limit of one minute and, in some maps, the class you spawn as is selected randomly, allowing for fast-paced gameplay.

==Griefing==
−
* Multiple Zombie Classes
+
Griefing is a term used by many players to describe the act of hampering your own team. Whether its destroying your team's structures, obstructing paths intended for your team, or killing them by any way--any intentional act that gives disadvantage to your own team is considered griefing. This also includes team swapping to harm the opposite team.

* "Portals" or "Altars" that spawn Undead,'' You can't buy any Zombie right now.''

* Non Player Characters that will assist you or that you can control.

===Zombie Fortress Multiplayer===
+
−
A bit after the release of Zombie Fortress, the developers released the multiplayer version of the gamemode. While it has mostly the same features, the NPCs are assigned to players and can only be controlled by them.
+
−
 
+
−
Like in Single Player, once all portals are destroyed, the game does not end, an administrator must make a new game.

+
−
==Rapid Deathmatch==
+
−
This is a custom game mode with 0 unit limit (meaning players do not respawn after they die) and the only available classes being knight and archer. Each round is played until one team kills the other.
+
−
 
+
−
===Strategy===
+
−
A good strategy on this game mode is to stick together and pick off the enemies 1 by 1. Another strategy is to travel in groups of two, archer and knight, that way you can attack while having the enemy worry about arrows and your sword. It also allows for picking off the enemy team quicker than fighting one by one.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
==Gold Hunt==
+
−
This game mode puts the teams in a race to gather the most [[gold]]. A team becomes victorious by gathering a set amount of gold before the opponent. Digging for gold is not the only victorious plan, players can also steal their way to victory. Gold can be stored in [[sacks]] in this mode.<br>
+
−
'''As of Build 514, Gold Hunt is unfindable in Normal and Gold servers.'''
+
−
 
+
−
==Custom Modes==
+
−
The King Arthur's Gold community has been creating their own game modes by tweaking the settings of the game. Most of these game modes are only available on '''Gold servers'''. The most popular one is '''Roleplay''' where a player can choose different factions and roleplay a character. Most custom game modes include either new or modified [[Workshops]].

+
−
The tent is often the most valued asset in the game, being the gold storage in [[Gameplay#Gold_Hunt|Gold Hunt]] mode, and the place of the invaluable flag in [[Gameplay#Capture_the_Flag|CTF]] mode. Before a game starts or before there are enough players, the tent serves as an infinite resupply center. Once the game starts, the tent will still function so, but for that the player must cycle through classes to their own again. This leads us to the tent's final purpose; as a class changing station. The player can cycle through the classes by pressing the E key. [[Builder|Builders]] can obtain free resources ([[Wood]] and [[Stone]]) passing the Tent in warmup time.

==Tips==

* Guard your tent well! It is pivotal to victory.

* As well as guards, walls and catapults can increase security.
