Guide
1. What you see:
The screen is divided into 2 sections. The top section controls your character. For example, you can choose to fight another person or move to another location, but we will look at it later.
The second part of the screen is the chat window. Again, it consists of two parts: the actual messages (on the left side) and list of players’ online in your room (right side). You can type a message in a text box next to an icon of a speaking head (?), and then hit Enter. Everyone will see your message.

2. Before your first fight (important so that you don’t loose)
When you have entered the game for the first time you will have 3 points that you can use to increase statistics of your character. Here are the steps to follow:
- Click on the "Abilities" button next to the picture of your character
-> Now you can change your abilities and skills (Do not distribute you skills yet, there is always time for that)
- There is a "+" sign next to every skill. If you click it, the skill level is going to rise. (Choose wisely, this is your only chance to distribute them for free. In the future, if you decide to redistribute your points, you’ll have to pay)

3. Lets Fight!
- On the top menu click "Battles"
- Click on "Novice" (next to "Fights :")
-> A list of players will appear
- You might want to look at players information before fighting (i.e. how many wins they have) you can do that by clicking the [i] button next to the player name.
- Select a player you want to fight with by clicking the white space next to the name and then clicking "Accept challenge" button.
-> Now you will have to wait and see if the opponent will agree to fight with you. If he does not, you will see a notification in your chat window. If the opponent decides to fight, you will see something like a calculator. Enter the 4 digits that appear on the black picture and click “ok”. If you have done it correctly, battle window should appear. If not, then try again. In case, if you don’t see any numbers, refresh the window. (You can always ask a paladin to help you)
- In the center of the new window you will see two columns with choices for an attack (where to hit your opponent) and defense (which part of your body to defend) Make your choices, and click "Go!!!" Make sure that you make your choices and click "Go!!!" before time runs out.
- Once the fight begins the battle log will appear on the screen. There is lots of useful information stored in it, from which you can develop your own battle tactic. But you will discover it on your own, through practice.
-> After you win, or loose, you will have to recover your life level (usually indicated right above your characters’ image, with a green line) it does not take long, and soon you will be back and ready to fight.
-> If you win, you will gain experience and once it is high enough you will receive credits ("money") and points for your character (refer to section 2)

4. The Rules
- You must follow the rules, otherwise you can't play.
- Only English is allowed in this game.
- Do not offend anyone in anyway, otherwise you can't play.

5. Technical Rules
- Only one character allowed per person.

PS: As you advance through the levels the game will get more and more exiting. You will have much more options than you have right now. Weapons, armor, magic, clans, wars.... However, no one said that it would be easy. If you won't give up, you will truly enjoy this game.

Dear citizens of New Capital, please read and take into account the following information. It will be both useful for new players, who have just registered here, and for experienced players.

Paladins (players with crosses near nicks) are always ready to help you, but please make it easier for us. To do it please follow some guidelines:

1. Formulate your question straight up to the point, without any introductions, greetings and so on.
2. If a paladin doesn’t answer, don’t fall into panic. Just wait for 5-10 minutes and repeat your question. Or address it to another Paladin in the room. (P.S. Advisor is a bot, he won't be able to answer you.)
3. Please feel the difference between Order of Paladins and Administration of the FC. We don’t know when the borders will be open, why Guild Registry doesn’t work and when items for mages will appear.
4. Don’t treat Paladins as people whose favorite down operation is to punish you. Try avoiding question: “Why XXX was silenced?” Be responsible for yourself and not for our work.
5. And finally please remember that the fact that you don’t know the law, doesn’t release you from responsibility!

Before asking any question open forum and try to find answer here.

2. If you are asking paladins about entering the Order you probably won't get answer, just work for the sake of NC, help newbies, report the violations you see and then you might get a chance to enter the Order
3. Don’t inform every Paladin about the mistakes you’ve found. Just post it here http://newcapital.combats.com/forum.pl?id=1140147811&n=rebuild

4. If you don’t agree with your punishment (silence or chaos) don’t discuss it in public. Discussing of paladins actions outside the complaints forum is punished. So post your complaint here: http://newcapital.combats.com/forum.pl?n=jeremiad (Find a topic which says "Complaints about paladins")

5. Not to be imposed while making a deal, describe all the conditions of the deal in the following top. Everyone, who participates in it, has to sign. http://newcapital.combats.com/forum.pl?n=sales

And if, after having read this material, you still have questions feel free to ask any paladin your questions

Guide and Faq

Few words about character’s abilities.

Strength – Physical power of the hero, developing strength, will result in stronger hits. Allows to use heavier weapons and armor.
Agility –  your mobility in fights, dodging, affects the number of counterstrikes you make.
Intuition – Allows you to foresee actions of your opponent, affects ammount of critical strikes you do.
Endurance – Measure of health, influences HP points. Increasing endurance will result in increasing HP

First lets start with basic rules:

1. You are allowed to have only one character.
2. Don’t fight with people with whom you have the same IP or using one computer.
3. Speak english in main chat. You can speak any language in private as long as the person you are talking to, doesn’t mind. Private messages are allowed from level 1.
4. Be polite to others
5. Don’t flood or spam in chat
6. Don’t cuss (substituting letters in swear/rude words with “*” or any other symbol will still be considered as cussing)(citing a violation is also a violation.)
7. You are not allowed to have character in English and Russian version at the same time, this will be considered as multinick.

For braking above rules your character will be punished

Couple of tips and answers to most frequently asked questions:

Advisor is a robot, he won't answer your questions, so if you have any, ask any other paladin :)

1. If you see someone breaking the rules in chat i.e. illegal language use, and paladin didn’t silence him, don’t copy and send the violation to paladin cause you’ll be silenced, to avoid that tell the paladin the time of violation and character’s nickname.
2. If you have asked a paladin about something and he didn’t answer just repeat the question in couple of minutes.
3. You will get your first money when you have 45 experience.
Table of experience is here:
http://newcapital.combats.com/forum.pl?id=1095186860&n=paladins
4. You can buy weapons in state shop, second hand shop or from other players.
Armory: http://capitalcity.combats.ru/encicl/ENG/subjects.html
5. I’m afraid but you’ll have to stay in this room until you are level 1, then you can go and have a look at other rooms, shops, etc.
6. Nobody can transfer you anything until you are level 4. Why? Next tip will tell you.
7. Transfers are available from level 4, you can start trading.
8. To address your message, click on person’s name in chat or in chat list.
9. People with crosses by their nicknames are paladins.
10. Paladins are moderators of this game, feel free to ask them any questions about the game.
11. If a paladin has asked you for screenshot, send it and notify him of doing so.
12. When you become level 1, have a look at different kinds of items and plan your character’s future development, so you can put on the items you like in future

Fighting tips:

1. Try choosing an equal opponent by looking at his abilities (Strength, Agility, Intuition, Endurance)
2. Read the fight log, it really helps understanding your opponent’s tactics

You might come over some words which you might not understand:

Chameleon – person who puts on items when you have accepted his challenge, these people don’t have much respect here.
Up  - up is a stage before level, when you can increase one ability and you get some money
Alchemists – People who work for administration, they sell eurocredits for real money.(via PayPal, Western Union, Webmoney etc.) You can exchange euro credits in Bank for credits, exchange rate is:
1 EUR = 1 euro credit = 10 credits. in other words for 30 EUR you will get 300 CR.
If you are running out of money, or you want to buy something you can’t afford, speak to registered Alchemist.
