Script Summary: Remembers your attacks and when you last attacked them. Displays levels & player names on the map
Helps you farm your neighbours, remembers attacks and how many troops & when they were sent. Shows you the levels + player of wildernesses on the map.
Thanks to RoadRunn for a lot of changes to the script to add transporting, skipping cities fix, etc.
To use...
* Attack as normal, put in a comment in the attack dialog if you want.
* Put your mouse over the map to see when you last attacked them and your comment about it.
* To unignore an attack after you have pressed "X" or to change an attack's troop numbers, go to the tile and click "attack" and attack without a knight.
* Easy copy and paste locations: You can copy and paste a location like 111,111 into the X coordinates box and it'll split it up into X and Y boxes.
* You can right click on "view report" in your messages and copy/bookmark the link, to see it again you'll have to be back in the messages screen and go to that link that you've copied.
* The delete barb/wild/transp button only deletes attacks from you to a non player wilderness or transport to your own city.
Recent attack list
* There're two links each row which take you to the location, and the hours since last attack which takes you to the attack page.
Note: It doesn't remember scouts, transports, etc. Only attacks of more than 1 troop.

various others, send me a message I probably forgot.
Auto attack
* The auto attack button is a blue tab button above the game. If you can see this button right click on the game, open the frame up in a new tab. Then right click on the greasemonkey icon at the bottom right of the browser and pick "user script commands" - "KOCAttack - ...."
* It'll auto attack barbarians in the attack list that haven't been attacked in the past hour. Starting from the closest within a max distance of 60.
* Make sure you click "X" on your attack list if you've failed a barbarian attack or else it'll attack that camp too with the failed number of troops.
* When attacking wildernesses, make sure you tick "Retry march if it has unknown error" in the options or else it'll skip attacks when the "unknown error" pops up.
* You can copy and paste a list of coords to attack into the "bulk add" box from a mapping site like http://koc.dunno.com/
Auto train
* The auto train will only work if you have 100% happiness and a full population. You can change this in the options.
* To disable auto train, click on the auto train button again.
Auto gold
* In the castle there is an "auto" button next to the gold, you can change when it clicks the gold button in the options.
Remote attack
Only works if two users are using the script, to use it...
- Put Player A's name in the "allow these players..." box. Not "Lady A", just A"
- You go off to work, sleep, etc. and leave the auto barb turned on.
- Player A types in your name into the box and clicks "status"
- Player A, goes to the attack screen and does a normal attack but puts in your name + one of your cities and clicks "remote attack"
- Wait a few minutes or more and it should come back with an "attack.attempted" message.
- If no other errors came up, your troops should be on their way. KOC could come up with various errors so it's not so accurate.
When things go wrong...
* I've been getting a lot of messages from people who simply say "it's not working", I can't do much with that, have to explain what's not working, what happens when you use it, etc.
* Go to options, click "reset all", this will wipe everything out and start you off from scratch.
* Go to tools > error console > messages and watch what it's doing. It may come up with an error or explaination.
* To completely wipe everything and start from scratch, right click on the greasemonkey icon at the bottom right of the browser, select "manage user scripts" > pick KOCAttack, tick "uninstall associated preferences", click "uninstall"
* Try a Previous versions.
* Note: if firefox does not exit normally(ie. windows update reboots, crashes, etc.), your settings will not be saved. Quit firefox normally once in a while to save everything.
To do
Here're some ideas people have, but I don't have the time to add them. If someone wants to do add these features I can tell you where to find the info and where you can add them in the script.
* Auto troop movements on an incoming attack.
* Auto send transport to your cities when resources reach a certain amount.
Tweeks
You can edit the script by right clicking on the greasemonkey icon at the bottom right of the browser and pick "manage user scripts", select "KOCAttack" and click "edit"
* Two players on same domain: http://userscripts.org/topics/55565 (untested)
* Pick which knights go out on the attack: http://userscripts.org/topics/56210
* Enable scouting: http://userscripts.org/topics/57749
* Here's a fix for poc helper if you use that script: http://userscripts.org/topics/56920
