⚔ Kingshot Mapper Quick Start Guide
🗺 Getting Started
💡Use the Place tool [D] to drop buildings. Select type from the sidebar, then click on the map. Use Select [S] to move or edit. Use Erase [E] to remove. Right-click also erases in Select or Erase mode — quick removal without switching tools.
📂It is much faster to map your surroundings by typing coordinates into a spreadsheet and importing as a CSV (↓ Import in the toolbar) rather than manually placing each building.
🏰 Alliance Banners & Territory
⚠When placing Alliance Banners and HQ, use your 3-letter alliance tag as the label (e.g. PHZ). Territory merges by label — same label = shared territory. Placement order determines priority when alliances overlap.
🔴Cities marked with a red ✕ are outside all alliance territory. These do not get alliance bonuses — ensure the city is within territory.
🔢Placement sequence is important — similar to the game, banners / HQ placed first have priority over the territory.
📋 CSV Format
📄Format: type,X,Y,label,#color,seq
