Reset is 12:00 GMT +/- a few hours. That means anywhere from around 6:00 pm this evening to 06:00 tomorrow morning.
Make sure that all gold and diamonds are spent, and all turns used up.
The best thing to spend gold on at this late stage is TE.

Nothing is carried over except for the reputation of the top ten players, factions and kingdoms. Glory, gold, population, etc are all reset to the starting level.
This is what gives everyone an equal chance.

A few hints for the start of the new round. Ilearnt this lesson the hard way last round, and want to avoid the same mistakes again.
Resist the urge to start attacking too soon. The gold available is low, and lots of others will be after it as well.
Buy your defensive soldiers early, move to the attacking ones later.
Spend your gold on things like generals, blacksmiths, merchants etc. These will all help to make you more powerful without increasing your score. As a result you will be a less enticing target early on.
Buy universities and libraries early, save the technologies till later.

Archers, Crossbowmen and Knights are defensive. The rest, including knights are attacking soldiers.

This tuition schedule is based on old manuals...but many are still valid...could be some great info for us...

Rules - Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Security - How to protect your account (Beginner) Tutorial This manual is outdated, some values might be incorrect!
Goal The goal in Lords is to become king. The form to get crowned and named king is by gaining as much score as possible to win the game. Your score is affected by glory, palace size, number of technologies and troops experience. The score is calculated like this: (Glory/ 50 + Experience / 3) * (Palace + Technologies) Glory: There are various ways of gaining glory. One way is to successfully attack another lord. If you attack a lord weaker than you and you win, you will receive 2 glory, if the same happens, but instead you attack a lord that is in a higher rank than you, you will receive 6 glory instead of 2. Other way is being attacked. If you are attacked and you win the battle, you will receive 1 glory. You can also receive glory by using the correspondent law. But also you can loose glory, this will happen when you betray your sovereign, in other words, when you leave your sovereign for another one, this reduces drastically your glory. Glory grants morale combat bonus which helps in battle. Palace: Your palace also affects your score, the bigger your palace is, the bigger your score is. Also the greater your palace size is, the more efficient the tax collection is (+2% for each palace size), and also for each 3 palace sizes you will receive 1 more merchant. The palace will also grant you a +10 % leadership bonus while you are in a battle and your enemy has a smaller palace than yours. Technologies: The technologies are upgrades that can be bought in the “Technologies” section. Before buying a technology, it is necessary to buy a university, there are 9 universities total. Each university you buy will give you a certain number of technologies. You must be wise while choosing which technology to buy, since the technologies prices rise drastically after buying a technology. But also there are various ways to lower the prices of the technologies, one is buying libraries, you can buy a maximum of 3 libraries for each university you have. The other way to lower the technologies prices is to buy certain technologies that lower their price. Experience: This consists on how much experience your troops have. To raise the experience, select the army button, and press military training. Also in the button a (cost x) will be shown where “X” is the price in gold for the training. If you have enough gold available, click on the button and 1 point of experience will be added. Also each time you run a military exercise, your attack and defence will be raised. Each time you run a military exercise, the price of the next exercise will be raised.
Time After every hour you will be granted with: Turns: The turns allow you to move your troops to attack an enemy lord. The numbers of turns are displayed in the upper center part of the screen. If you do not have turns, you will be unable to attack an enemy lord. Gold: Each hour your population will be taxed. The tax income will be affected by your palace size, the number of population you have, and the number of mills that are acquired. Also certain technologies will grant you a major tax income when acquired. See buildings section for more information about mills. After each day passes, you will obtain: Population: Every day (24 hours) that pass, a certain number of people will arrive to your kingdom. The population received each day is affected by the overcrowding. The overcrowding is a inevitable action of the game, and not affects new players with small populations. It only affects the players with a high population, and while the population goes greater, also the overcrowding; however there are certain technologies that can reduce this action, but not eliminate it. Diamonds: If the player has arranged trades with other lords, has an active sovereign and vassals, he will receive a certain number of diamonds. To determine how many diamonds a lord receives at the beginning of each day, economy points are used for each 10 economy points that are acquired at the end of the day, 1 diamond is granted to the lord. To receive economy points by trading, you need to buy merchants. There are two ways to acquire merchants, one is to buy markets, at the buildings section, and other is to buy palace upgrades. Also there are certain technologies that add merchants to your realm. The more merchants you and your trade partner have, the more economy points are received. To receive economy points with a sovereign, you must select another player as your sovereign; it is recommended to select someone you can trust. If the player has been active (if he has logged on that day) you will receive 10 economy points. If someone selects you as his sovereign, he becomes your vassal, if your vassal has been active, you will receive 2 economy points.
Battle Here will be explained some facts of interest while you are attacking another lord or are defending your own castle by the enemy lords. At a battle, these two facts are essential for victory, the influence of attack and defense in a battle will be explained later.
Leadership bonus - The leadership bonus will affect a battle in this way: If your palace is in a larger size than your opponent is, you will receive a certain percentage of leadership bonus, it is also affected by the number of generals that have been trained. Fortification bonus - When you are being attacked, the enemy will use battering rams if he has bought battering rams to tear down your walls. So, if you have more walls than the enemy battering rams, you will be granted with a bonus that can help you to win the battle. See buildings section for more information about walls and battering rams.
Economy An effective economy in Lords is very useful. This way you can save diamonds for then make investments on your palace size, training soldiers for your defense, buying mills and so on. As explained above, for each 10 economy points you will receive one diamond.
Trade Trading is simple, if merchants are available for your cause, you can offer trade agreements with other lords. The traders then will sell and buy, but you, being the lord, it doesn’t concern you. Then you will receive a profit for what has been sold and it will be counted as economy points. You have space to make trades up to 5 fellow lords, so choose wisely who you are going to offer trades. It is highly recommendable to buy at each amount of time markets, at the buildings section, to hire more merchants. This way you will receive more economy points, and also be more likely to receive trade offers.
Gifts Each day you receive 2 gifts which you can grant to any lord. A lord who receives a gift also gets some benefits (gold, economy points, and if he receives many gifts, additional population) since it is a sign of friendship, the lord who receives the gift can not attack the lord who sent the gift for the reminder of the game, although there is a certain technology that eliminates the policy, allowing you to attack someone who sends you a gift. It also can be given as a tribute to fellow lords.
Sovereign & vassals The sovereign is a fellow lord who you select as your sovereign, but is has to be a very hard decision to make since you can have only one sovereign and if you betray him (or her), you will loose glory and palace sizes. Sovereigns will give you 10 economy points (1 diamond) each day if he (or her) has logged in the current day. You, being the vassal, you do not need to do anything for your sovereign. If a sovereign does not log in, his vassals will not receive the economy points. To find a good sovereign, these facts will be helpful: - It is recommended to be someone you can trust, to avoid being attacked by your sovereign. - It is also recommended to be someone active, since an inactive sovereign will not grant you the diamonds you are seeking.
If another lord selects you as his sovereign, he will become your vassal. You, being the sovereign, you do not have to do anything for your vassal(s). Although it is nice to gift the vassals some times, since it is a way to show that you are grateful for having him as your vassal. Although you can only have one sovereign, you can have multiple vassal, all the vassals you can get. Like in the sovereign’s case, each time your vassal is active (logs in the current day), you will receive 2 economy points. A very important fact to find good vassals is: - Find someone that is active to be your vassal, that way you will be sure to get the 2 economy points.
Strategy tips - Arrange trade agreements with as much players as possible in the very beginning. Trade affects your treasury greatly; gains from it may be much greater than from invasions during the first days of play. - Choose someone as your sovereign from the beginning; it's better to have a poor sovereign than any. - Train knights as your first units, they will provide an even attack and defense for a clean start. - It's very useful to have battering rams and walls, so buy some once in a while. - Choose technologies carefully, soon these will be very expensive and you can't undo your decisions. - Before you logout turn all remaining gold into diamonds to prevent it from being stolen or spend it in a palace upgrade, walls, battering rams, train units, etc. - You must think on a strategy when you start playing. You can train a lot of defensive units to prevent gold getting stolen, or be careful and have an offensive army to steal gold of everyone. - Buying barracks is a priority; try to keep it as a 100%. - Be fast! When you are managing a big sum of money (Like when buying a technology), be fast, there will be a lot of hunters loving to steal you’re well gained money! - Don’t cheat. Enjoy the game as a good lord and don’t cheat. If you cheat you can be banned and have a bad reputation in the game. - Try to join a faction where comradeship stands out instead of points, that way you will be among good lords, and have more chances of a trade, vassals, etc.

More of Janters great advice...
Subject From / To Options Hunting and gold preservation from Jantar From Mike Lancelot.
These principles apply to attacking/banking and to purchasing as well:
Always bank/spend between each attack (the only exception is multiple attacks against a single target showing lot of gold).
First thing you do is to learn how to use 2 windows.
Have one window opened on the attack tab of the players list or search list if you're a donator.
Second window is on the main tab ready to buy diamonds.
Know your conversion rates. Preset your number of diamonds to buy so when you get a certain amount of gold switch over and just click buy.
conversion rates buy 9 diamonds converts 5000 gold buy 18 diamonds converts 10000 gold buy 36 diamonds converts 20000 gold
How to hunt. Stay on one Attack screen and use F5 to refresh the screen or quickly browse back and forth between pages.
Once you see a player's gold changing you know they are online.
Click on the player's name and place your mouse on the attack link. Keep hitting F5 until you see the amount of gold you want and attack away.
Quickly swith pages and click buy to save the gold you just took.
Now, do NOthing with your diamonds. Don't buy anything, wait 1-2 hours. When you come back, don't convert your gold that is showing. Proceed directly to buying. (You don't want to give out any indication that your online)
To convert your diamonds to gold use similar procedure described above. Open one page to your techs or buildings (what you are about to buy). Visualize where the button is and then go and convert the amount you need. Then switch over and click it. You can even highlight the tech you want to buy so you don't click the wrong one.
