'''King Arthur's Gold''' (KAG) is a team-based side-scroller action game revolving around mechanics of combat, building, and mining. KAG allows a variety of game modes in which players can work together and pit themselves against other teams in battles. The official game modes are [[Take the Halls]], [[Capture the Flag]], [[Challenges]] and [[Team Deathmatch]].

There are three official tutorials, covering the basics of KAG Gameplay:

*'''Basics''': Shows many of the features of each of the three [[classes]].

*'''Capture the Flag''': Introduces the mechanics of the [[CTF]] gamemode, including collecting [[coins]], building [[workshops]], and capturing flags.

*'''Take the Halls''': An overview of the [[Take the Halls|TTH]] gamemode, including capturing [[hall]]s and building [[factories]]

===Save the Princess===

This game mode puts the teams in a race to gather the most [[gold]]. The first team to reach a set amount of gold is the winner of the match. Gold can be mined in caves or stolen from the opposing team. Players score points by killing opposing players and returning mined gold to their own teams' bags. When you have collected gold via mining or scavenging off players, you can place it into one of your team's bags by approaching it and pressing [E]. If you plan to steal your way to victory, you must find the opposing team's gold bags, press [E] to pick them up, and return them to your own [[tent]] (spawn point).

In this game mode both teams have a [[flag]] waving over their [[tent]]. The first team to capture and return to their own tent three times the flag from the opposing team wins. In Capture tha flag, [[gold]] is still very useful as it can be used to build [[outpost]]s that function as spawning point and let you change classes.

There are three [[classes]] in King Arthur's Gold: [[Knight]], [[Archer]], and [[Builder]]. Each class has different abilities, making each class appropriate for different situations. Cycle through the classes by pressing the [f] key in front of your team's tent. You can also recover any lost health and equipment by returning to your team's tent and cycling through the classes until you reach your desired class again.

Official gamemodes:

=== [[Knight]] ===
+
===Take the Halls===
−
The Knight is a combat-focused, close range class. He carries a [[shield]] and [[sword]] along with [[bomb]]s which explode in four directions just like in the Bomberman games. Bombs are thrown by pressing the [f] key; tap the key to simply drop the bomb or hold it to throw the bomb. Don't hold on for too long though, as the bomb will explode in your hands and kill you if you don't let go of the [f] key. Teammates are not damaged by bombs but any opposing player caught in the blast radius will be killed instantly. Soldiers can use their shields in two ways; they can simply hold the shield in front of them by holding down the right mouse button, blocking any [[arrow]]s, attacks or blast damage coming at them. They also become a wall of sorts, able to push players of both teams with their shields. This can be dangerous for teammates who wish to retreat behind friendly Soldiers because, in a tight space, they won't be able to get around the Soldier. Soldiers can also hold the shield above their heads, which protects them from damage coming from above, but also turns them into a step for other players to jump on and over something. The sword does heavy damage to opposing players and can also dig slowly through [[dirt]], [[stone]], [[ladder]]s, and [[door]]s.
+
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.
  
−
=== [[Archer]] ===
+
===Team Deathmatch===
−
Archers are ranged players. They use their [[bow]]s and [[arrow]]s to deal damage from afar and can be quite accurate if controlled by a skilled player. While each arrow only removes one Health, a constant rain of arrows can pin Soldiers in position and pick off Builders from afar (especially because Builders often need to be zoomed in and may not be aware of their surroundings). Archers spawn with a finite number of arrows and can run out quite quickly but they can harvest [[wood]] from [[tree]]s to add more arrows to their inventory or scavenge more off fallen archers around the battlefield (always make sure to press [C] to loot fallen enemies and see if they have anything useful). To fire an arrow, press and hold the right mouse button; holding the button for longer will fire the arrow longer and faster. Arrows lose velocity and begin dropping quite quickly, so you'll often need to aim a bit higher than your target. Archers cannot dig stone or gold, nor can they break down doors or ladders, but they can dig through dirt.
+
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]].
  
−
=== [[Builder]] ===
+
===Capture the Flag===
−
Builders are an important component of any team. They pursue the ultimate goal of the game (accumulating gold) and build their teams' defenses. Builders mine through materials like [[dirt]] and [[stone]] much quicker than any other class. The tradeoff is that Builders are far weaker in combat than Archers or Soldiers, with only their low-damage pickaxes to fend off enemies. Builders can place a variety of blocks of various purposes, including [[ladder]]s, stone walls, [[door]]s or even [[catapult]] pieces. These blocks require materials (stone and wood) which can be acquired by mining or cutting down trees. Builders can also build back walls which act as a way to build against a substance without building ladders or walls originally.
+
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]].
