Hints, Strategies :
-------------------------
How to play:
My Kingdom for the Princess is a strategic game, where you click on locations, places and people to interact with them, and complete the tasks set out for you in that level, and create a clear path for you to exit the level.
Bonus:
At the bottom of the screen, you see a bar that slowly fills up, with a little logo in the middle. This logo shows you which bonus the level has, and once it lights up you can activate it. In later levels, you will have the choice between multiple bonusses; so if for instance (see screenshot) you want an extra worker instead of extra supplies, just wait for the extra worker-icon to light up.
An important tip when it comes to bonusses, is to time them right, so you can make the most of it. For instance, if you want to use the "work faster"-bonus, don't activate it immediately when available, but wait until one of your workers has actually started working. And if you want to use the "extra supplies"-bonus, wait just before your worker enters the house. This way, you don't spend valuable time on just walking somewhere.
Reading the walkthrough:
The first few levels, will describe pretty much step by step what to do and where to go. This is to help you get a feel of how you plan effectively in this game.
After that, I will list the priorities in which you can best take up tasks, in order to play the level most effectively, and go for an expert score. The trick is to work your way in one main direction, constructing the buildings as you go. Unless stated otherwise, constructing a building has priority over finishing a certain part of the map.
TIPS TO GET THAT EXPERT SCORE:
- Take your time when you enter the level. The timer doesn't start until you click for the first time, so take your time to oversee the level and plan ahead.
- You can only set one action at a time per worker. So it is not possible, like in many time-management games, to give your character multiple tasks at once. However, once you have multiple worker, you can assign one task for each of them. If one worker is clearing the path, you can send the other worker down that path shortly before the worker is finished. This will save you valuable seconds.
- Keep an eye on the spots where you gathered free supplies before. These supplies will often regenerate during the level.
- The warehouse is more valuable than you'd think at first. Try and build, and upgrade this as soon as possible, if it is available in a level. My prefered order is usually: build the warehouse, build the sawmill, upgrade the sawmill, upgrade the warhouse.
- Despite the time pressure, it can sometimes be better to wait two seconds for a building to be build, before picking up a resource. If you have related buildings (i.e. a sawmill for logs), the resource you pick up is worth more.
- If you are waiting for a worker to clear the last path, you can go out and gather some extra free supplies for bonus points. However, make sure you're back before the last worker, since you don't want to have to wait for that worker gathering supplies; time is much more valuable than supplies.
- Keep moving! Even if you're waiting for resources to load to continue down the path you've chosen, do something else, even if it's in the other direction.
- A well makes your workers work faster, but it is generally not interesting to go out of your way to repair one. If you have to build bridges, or restore quite a few roads to get there; only repair wells that are on your route, or if you have one of your workers with nothing else to do.
Walkthrough
Level 1.1
Tasks: Chop up 3 fallen trees and branches
After watching the intro, enter the first level. This is a very simple tutorial level, so just follow the game's directions.
Level 1.2
Tasks: Construct one farm; Repair the bridge
Construct a a farm, simply by clicking on the empty location. When the farm is build, it will provide you with 1 unit of food per minute, which your worker will need to keep going. Now chop up the several fallen trees lying on the paths to collect wood.
Don't forget to pick up the free supply of food just above your farm. If your worker runs out of food, just wait for a new supply of food to be offered by the farm, and pick it up.
When you find broken (dilapidated) pieces of road, just click on it to fix it. After fixing the road, just before the bridge, you will find a free supply of wood; take it. Now click on the bridge to fix it, and you will be able to continue your journey.
Level 1.3
Tasks: Construct one farm; Construct one cottage; Turn 5 sections of swamp into road using logs
Turn your worker's shack into a cottage by clicking on it, and at the same time, start building a farm. Once the cottage is finished, you will have a second worker. Use one worker to clear the fallen trees on the west path, and the other to clear them on the south path, and collect two free supplies of wood. While clearing the trees, you can send the other worker to start building a log path through the swamp. While you receive enough logs to clear the level, keep an eye on the southern path; free supplies of logs will slowly reappear, and while you don't need them to finish the level, any supplies you have extra add up to your score.
Level 1.4
Tasks: Repair the sawmill; Turn 7 sections of swamp into road using logs
Turn your worker's shack into a cottage and build a farm. Gather the two free supplies of wood and start clearing the fallen trees. Once you have gathered 15 wood logs, send one of your workers to fix the bridge. Once you've completed the bridge, build the sawmill and when that is done, start building a log path through the swamp to finish the level.
Level 1.5
Tasks: Pick 3 flowers; Repair 2 bridges
Bonus: faster workers
Start by gathering enough wood -10 in total- to build a cottage and get your second worker. Gather wood to build the sawmil and start fixing the broken farm in the West. As you work your way through the fallen trees to the flower field in the North, build the farm when you have enoug resources. Once you have a clear path to the flower field, gather the 3 flowers and start working your way East, fixing bridges and roads as your progress.
This is the first level that you are given a bonus: faster workers
Level 1.6
Building priorities:
- Build a farm
- Build a cottage
- Build a sawmill
Map priorities:
If you built a farm first, you should have plenty food to work your way through the forests. The most time-saving strategy is to gather gold, plant a flower, gather gold, plant a flower, gather gold and plant the last flower. With your other worker, just work your way to the exit.
Level 1.7
Building priorities:
- Build a sawmill
- Build a farm
- Build a cottage (after reaching the south beach)
- Build the temple (after starting on the first bridge)

Level 1.8
Building priorities:
- Build a sawmill
- Build a farm

Level 1.10
This level is really easy, if you can keep your head. All you have to do is send your 4 workers out to collect all the gold. The key to doing this effectively, is by spreading them out, one in each direction, so they don't have to wait for eachother and constantly keep them moving.

Level 3.8
This level is really easy, if you can keep your head. All you have to do is send your 4 workers out to collect all the gold. The key to doing this effectively, is by spreading them out, one in each direction, so they don't have to wait for eachother and constantly keep them moving.
Level 3.9

Since you don't have a warehouse in this level, it is really important to keep collecting supplies and use them effectively. For instance, if you have 18 gold and 5 wood, clean some sand path, so you don't waste collected supplies because you can't keep more than 20 supplies of one type. Time the use of the "more supplies"-bonus to keep a constant stream going. Alternatively start working on the quicksand-area with the gold supplies, and the west route towards the burried treasure. Start on the rock path as soon as you have access to the gold in the quicksand and area and you have a second worker, since clearing that path takes a long time.

Wait with collecting the keys until you've cleared the boulder path to the exit, and are working on the bridges.
