PowerBot+ Dashboard
Version 3.3
Added Arcana Buffs
PowerBot+ Dashboard description
Now you can see everything you need to see on a single screen! The PB+ Dashboard contains
an overview of your city's defensive capabilities and current status. It is integrated in PB+ and
part of PB+ can be configured as well to suit your needs in PowerBot+.
Main Features: Toggle City Defense Mode On/Off
Arcana Tab
Arcana Tower Buffs in Fortification Tab
Distance to HQ & inside or outside Aura (Red/green indicator)

View Troops in City - Split by Defenders and Sanctuary, and categorized by troop type
(Infantry, Ranged, Horsed, Siege and SpellCasters)
Quickly change defending troops
Add extra defenders and defensive presets
View Reinforcements - both encamped and incoming
View Wall Fortifications
The "Overview" section has options to change Marshall, Guardian, Champion and Throne
Room.
The Throne Room selector tells you immediately when the throne room change request has
been accepted by the server. This will help you decide how late you can safely leave throne
room changes before an attack hits, based on your connectivity and the responsiveness of your
session!
Throne Room presets can now be named, and can optionally be selected by name.
Everything else is really just eye-candy, but it's kind of nice eye candy ;)
Let us configure the options,
The Dashboard Settings Tab Options
- Show Dashboard – Show Dashboard in game screen
On/off
- Overview Defend button / Troops defend Button Option to show Hide/Defend buttons.

Preset that is active will be highlighted in Blue.
- Graphical Champion Selector
Option to show name (right) or the Pic representing each champ (Left)
- Show quick Sacrifice icons
Option to show graphical representation of each troop in the Defending city
with option to Sacrifice (Fey) or not.
Clicking a Pic representing a Troop, will Sacrifice that troop for the “Default
Sacrifice Duration”.
- Default sacrifice duration Standard set at 1-minute Sacrifice duration. You can change to higher minute
settings according to your needs.
- Maximum troops to sacrifice The maximum amount of troops you can Sacrifice via Dashboard is 100.000
You can change to lower then 100.000 or higher, depending on your needs.
- Show Assign Defenders section above Troop display
The possibility to put the red encircled section on top (choice) or below on the
Troop section (Standard)
- Show defense add troops
The ability to add troops to defense.
- Default add defense amount
Standard adds 100.000 troops to defense, change to lower or higher setting
to suit your needs.
- Show defensive Presets
The ability to change Troop configurations via Presets based on Defense
requirements.
Presets can be made for different defending scenarios where you would use
different troops to defend in different scenarios’ based on incoming attack
waves.
The ability to change the components order in Dashboard.
This is the standard option when you install PB+.
You can UNTICK the components you do NOT want to show on Dashboard.
In this Example the Fortifications and Outgoing Attacks Components are unticked
and therefore will not show themselves on Dashboard. This can be done to make
Dashboard smaller and/or remove components you do NOT need.
The Sequence can be altered to, My Dashboard has “Incoming Attacks” on top
instead of at bottom. You can change the sequence by changing the numbers
around.
Throne Room Presets
These are the common settings. (It shows your
presets)
You can alter the names “Preset 1 to 24 “etc.
to reflect what preset it is, like “defense 1”, or
Names (Which make sense to You) etc.
You can when selected, let PB+ change your
Presets based on selected Presets. Gives an
illusion you are at keyboard.
If you have named your Presets in TCO, when
clicking this Option, PB+ will pull the Preset
Names from TCO and import them here.
Game wise it should / could look like this on your screen.
This Depends on YOUR Monitor screen and setting and what you set in PB+.
The 3 settings are Normal, Wide and Ultra.
Normal sets the screen width to 100%... Wide sets the screen width to 1520px, and Ultra sets
the screen width to 1900px. (Check what fits your screen size best, if you have a 22-inch
screen ULTRA would best fit you)
For people with screen resolutions of say, 1280px, Normal gives them 100% of their visible
screen, wide gives them a bit extra with a scrollbar, and ultra gives them even more with a
longer scrollbar. Barbarossa 01-07-2015
The Battle Dashboard We will now discuss the various options this dashboard gives in game
I have made it smaller by not expanding all options so it’s easier to discuss by level
Your 8 cities. By clicking the number of the city, the dashboard gives you the
option to go to that city and what is there. In addition, hovering over a city number
gives you a pop up with resources in that city.

The distance from the City you
are on to HQ is measured.
If the distance is Green you are
within the Aura.
If the distance is Red you are
outside the Aura.
Below the 8 city tabs, you have 4 options. To mist, to dove, to use portal of
refuge or portal of order. You can do so by clicking those icons. Mist & dove are
general. PoR & PoO is for the city that is highlighted in the city tab above. From
this dashboard you can take immediate action without going into inventory.
This refresh button refreshes the game WITHOUT reloading the page. It’s great
for stuck scout marches, knights not available etc. Try it, it really works.
This info part gives you a lot of info, city name, the location (cords) + province.
If you have an embassy and how many slots available. If there is a Marshal and
which level. Also if a champion is defending that city, and if not, you can quickly
assign one or change the champion to one of your other champions. (if no
champion is send by attacker, you may want a champ defending that has all troops
stats and thus favoring the outcome in your advantage)
Look may vary depending if you have Graphical selector for Champions
activated or not.
In this row you can change the guardians of your city, you can quickly switch to
defense or attack or else. Selected/Active Guardian is blue Encircled.

This line is for attack/defense / health, the icons reflect the options you can
activate here. In the picture given you see that 50/20/10 is activated. I can easily
click on de 50% attack & 50% defense (blood fury & iron skin) as well as the new
health option icons (last 2)
These are all your TR presets, 24 total.5 If all Presets unlocked)
You can quickly change to your preset of attacking, defending, or peacetime, or
load etc. Again depending which option you have selected, Classic numbers, Or
New Presets by name.

New Presets by Name.

The Arcane Tab
The main part of this is a new expandable section on the Dashboard, labelled
"Arcana", where you can view the currently active bonuses, and activate
additional Personal Bonuses if there are any available.
Note that the game does not provide a way to cancel active Arcana Bonuses, so
use with caution!
IF you are the chancellor of your alliance, you can also activate Alliance Bonuses
here too.
The effect of the bonus on the currently selected city can be viewed by hovering
the mouse over the arcana name or selecting the bonus.
In time when you unlock the levels (1-5) of the Arcane Temple more bonuses
become available for Alliance & Personal use.
On Max level, you will have access to 5 bonuses for Alliance and 3 for Personal use.
Arcana’s running out will be marked in red, warning you that you either you need
to choose a new one or prolong again the one you had active.
The Sacrifice Tab
There is a lot of info here about sacrificing
Number of Altars you have in that city, and what increase (%) that gives. Also it
shows which blessings you have activated for that city. Like in this case Dark Ritual
(yes) and Channeled suffering (no).

On the troop type box, which drops down, you select the troop you want to
sacrifice. Then in the amount box you enter how many. Standard it will give you
already a small sacrifice that lasts around 1 minute. When you change the amount
in the amount box you will increase the sacrifice period. (the more you sacrifice
the longer the period)
When you have 2 altars in that fey city (as sacrificing only works for Fey cities) and
you have the blessing Dark ritual (which allows for 2 simultaneous rituals) as soon
as you have sacrificed the 1st troop, the second box becomes available to sacrifice
the 2nd troop.
OR (Best Option)
Clicking any troop type pic will sacrifice that troop (720 units) for the short
duration of 60 secs.
Here you see the 2 sacrifices in action, the amount sacrificed, duration that it
will be active (countdown) and the ability to cancel the Sacrifice (when needed)

Also, sacrifice as you know takes troops from Sanctuary, if you've moved your troops to
Defend and ask it to sacrifice, it will claw-back the amount you need from defend to
sanctuary, and then does the Sacrifice. TIP!
As soon as you switch to a NON fey city, thus Briton or Druid, the sacrifice
level in dashboard will auto disappear. This has to do with the fact that you
can only Sacrifice in Fey cities and if you have Altars.
SIDENOTE, your attack city needs 2 altars at level 10, this gives you the full
40% boost.
TROOPS TAB
if you have this option ticked, Auto replace, then the troops you have set
defending will get auto replaced when killed. (provided you have enough
troops to replace the lost troops. IE: you have set 200k Flame Archers

defending, and you have 1 million still in city. If you lose the 200k FA in
defending (you lost the battle) then it auto takes 200k FA again and puts it in
defense of city again. You can do this when online and you need to replace
your troops fast in a battle. But if you are defending when not at PC an
attacker can continue to kill the troops defending and if they get auto
replaced, can kill a lot of your troops. Careful thus with this option.
Script Creators Note: AUTO-REPLENISH DEFENDING TROOP LOSSES
Please use this option with care - it's a great way to lose all your troops....
On the dashboard - troops section there's now a tick box labelled Auto-Replenish. If ticked,
after each attack, your defenders will be reset to the levels they were before the attack. This is
to enable you to (hopefully) successfully defend multiple waves. There may be timing issues
with the attack landing, so I cannot guarantee this will work 100% of the time, but it's a feature that's been asked for many times, so why not give it a shot ;)
Here it will show the troops defending and how many. See below pic for an
explanation.
200k Flame archers have been selected to defend the city (But are not
defending yet as they are hiding) (The HIDING button is green) (But defense
is ready & standby by when needed)
2
The green HIDING button will turn RED when you click it and NOW you will
be defending with the selected troops, in this case the 200k Flame Archers.
You see that everything turns red, as a sign that you are defending now.
Clicking the DEFENDING button (3) again will set it back at HIDING.
This shows the total amount of troops available in the city, categorized by
TROOP GROUP,
in the Troops section, pretty much everything is clickable... i.e. if you want to switch all your Ranged troops to defend, you can click on the sanctuary Ranged column heading, and they all move to Defend. alternatively, if you want to move all your scouts to defend, you can click on the Scouts image or label in the sanctuary section, and they all jump up to Defend... and vice versa, to switch back to sanctuary, click the stuff in the Defend section...
3
4
Click Hcav pic or Horsed Tab (Sanctuary) to move all to Defend (Horsed tab
will move all Horsed troops, including Lcav, Hussars, if available, PIC of troop
just moves that troop)
Now all Hcav have been moved to Defend status, Reversing the troops from
Defend to Sanctuary, click the Horsed tab (for all) or the pic of the troop
(Troop specific).
Assign Defenders, from this part you can select and assign troops for the
defense of your city.
I have selected FLAME ARCHERS; the pre-defined amount is 200k. I can
change this to more or less. By clicking ADD, the 200k Flame Archers will be
selected and moved to previous discussed panel, for the defense of the city.
I can also build presets here. With presets I can select a group of troops
defending for specific defensive strategies. Aka, you can switch a group of
troops to defense to suit your needs.
5
In this case I have selected 100k scouts + 200k flame archers + 100k Onagers
as
Defensive preset 1. By clicking the SAVE button, this preset will be stored.
By clicking the REPLACE button, the 200k flame archers that were set before,
are now replaced by the troops in “defensive preset 1”
You can build as many defensive presets as you want with different troop
types and quantities. By using the drop down box for the presets, you can
select the preset you want (with the troops you want defending + qty already
set) Then click REPLACE and the troops will be set for defending.
This is useful, when you need to switch defending troops from RANGED to
SIEGE troops for example. This depending of course what is attacking you.
An Example:
You have 300k Heavy cav incoming. You decide to use as defense 300k Catas.
You select “defensive preset 2” which is programmed by you to have 300k
catas in that preset. Now you click REPLACE and the 300k catas are set in
defense stance. When the time comes to defend, you click the HIDING
button to switch to DEFENDING and you select (at the last moment) the TR
Preset (1-24) of your throne room where you will defend with. (All from the
DASHBOARD) as you remember, the TR presets were in the 1st panel we
discussed.
Just after the 300k Heavy cav, there is another wave incoming of archers. You
decide to defend with RANGED troops. Again from the dropdown box you
select the “defensive preset” you want and click replace button. The 300k
catas are switched out for the preset you built for ranged troops. When the
time comes to defend again, you click the HIDING button to switch to
DEFENDING and you select (at the last moment) the TR Preset (1-24) of your
Throne Room where you will defend with.
When mastered, it saves time by switching presets to defend with different
troops instead of manually adding the troops for defending with. Of course
the troops you want to defend with have to be in the city.
You have to try it for yourself a few times, by building presets of troops you
want and switch the presets & troops, when you have a calm moment (not
under pressure of attack) That way you can see how much time you save,
and train yourself to get the hang of it. When you get the hang of it, it is a
lifesaver.
Note: Now you also understand that when you were attacking someone, why
there where different troops defending when your waves landed and how it is
done.
Basically what you need in Dashboard, has
now been discussed.
Reinforcements Tab
If expanded this part will show you the troops reinforcing, you. Since the
Dashboard is already big with above options, and those are the ones you use
the most, I therefore have not expanded the reinforcements part. If you
have the screen size and it all fits, your choice of course.
Troops that are encamped you can send home via “Send Home” Button,
troops that are still inbound to you, show a countdown how long it takes
them still to arrive at your city. Use Red “Send all Home” to send all reins
home.
Fortifications Tab
If expanded this part will show you the wall & field & Tower (level)defenses
of your city.
In addition, Arcane Bonuses related to the Towers are also displayed.
Remember, Arcane bonuses raise ALL stats of the Towers.
Tower boosts (Shop Items) can be easily activated by clicking on their icon in
the fortification Tab. Giving Boosts to Tower Attack and Tower Life
Incoming Attacks This is the bottom of the dashboard.
If there are no incoming attacks, it will be like the pic above.
In case of incoming attacks, this part will expand to reflect the incoming
waves.
Also you can take action from here.
For purposes of explaining, I have closed some levels so the Battle
Dashboard” is smaller and we can see top & bottom easily in the pic.

On the top of the dashboard, the city that is under attack will turn red and
above the refresh button you will now have a countdown timer, how long till
the attack reaches your city.
Also in this level, you can see the time till attack arrives and there is more.
A) On the A part, you can see the name of the attacker. By clicking on the
name part this will open another pop-up, “The battle Monitor”
B) The B part gives the location of the attacker. By clicking on the cords, you
will be taken to those cords on the map.
C) The C part will inform you what is coming towards you. If there is a knight,
champion, which troops and what quantities.
Let’s See it in action

By clicking on the attacker’s name, as previous said, you will get a new pop
up.
This battle monitor will show you the Throne Room Preset of the attacker
and if the attacker is changing it.
When I click the attackers name, the battle monitor will be launched as you
will see in the next picture.

1) Reflects your TR preset and which one you are currently on (in this case
10)
2) All the info of the Attacker, Name, Alliance, TR/CH Might, Glory Might +
clickable link to kocbyte to see the player’s profile on kocbyte.
3) The Attackers TR will be shown here, what he is using on that moment. If
he changes, it will show as well to what it changes. This helps you
anticipate better in Defending that Attack & counter it.
A) With that button you can post the Attackers TR to alliance chat.
B) With that button you can go to the Attacker’s throne room and see the
items he is using exactly
C) Pauses the monitor. Freezes it. And the PAUSE button becomes a RESUME
button.
Please note that the monitor times out in 15 minutes. As you can see at the
top, a countdown timer reflects that (14:53). After 15 minutes you have to
click the RESUME button to keep monitoring.
Especially when a battle with another player exceeds 15 minutes, your
monitor will pause. This can give you “unreliable” info as it will be stuck
with the TR it freezes on. So keep an eye on the timer, and when the 15
minutes are up, click the resume button. You get a sound alert as well
(arrow sound) when the timer is up.
Monitoring players
Monitor History Log
Keep a record of all the unique throne rooms you have ever monitored! (Well, up to
a maximum of 50, oldest ones eventually drop off the bottom...)
Label them, post them to chat, view them again, etc.
The "Keep" tick box stops them from dropping off the bottom.
For a quick-view of TR, mouse over the throne icon on the left...
This is what the LOG pop up will show, you can look them up again. Or keep
monitoring them, for TR changes, so you can gain INTEL on TR’ presets being used
by that person.
The Monitor Options
These are the common settings. (you may change to what you need)
The Option to use sound alerts with ability to set volume & test that volume.
The Option to use colors in monitor window to quickly show the Battle stats per color
group. Each Stat Group has its own color (Attack = Red, Defense = Blue, range = Green etc.)
and GENERAL buffs & Debuffs are in BOLD as where Troop SPECIFIC are not Bold.

Sharing is knowledge, and a lot of players are not sharing. Yes, it gives you and edge, or advantage, but
it leaves also many people clueless. The objective of these tutorials, is to teach, learn, educate players so ALL players have
a better under understanding of the game. The more players participate, the better the overall experience is for all players.
More attacking and defending means “lively” domains full of activity.
