⚔ Kingshot Mapper Quick Start Guide
🗺 Getting Started
💡Use the Place tool to drop buildings. Select a type from the left sidebar, then left-click on the map. Use Select to move or rename buildings. Use Erase to remove them.
📂It is much faster to map your surroundings by typing coordinates into a spreadsheet and importing as a CSV (Import button in the toolbar) rather than manually placing each building on the map.
🏰 Alliance Banners & Territory
⚠When placing Alliance Banners and HQ, use your 3-letter alliance tag as the label (e.g. PHZ). Territory is merged by label — buildings with the same label share territory, and placement order determines priority when two alliances overlap.
🔴Cities marked with a red ✕ are outside all alliance territory. These do not get alliance bonuses; recommendation is to ensure the city is within alliance territory.
🔢Placement sequence is important — similar to the game, the banners / HQ placed first will have priority over the territory.
