What's KCVDS?KCVDS is a free Yu-Gi-Oh online game created by "Seto Kaiba". It basically allows people to duel over the internet
How can I get it?#1.First you'r going to have to register.Click this link (
http://www.setokaiba.com/BattleCity/ ) and then click Register
#2. To get the latest version (1.15). I personally dont like Rapidshare but its the only place where I could find it. Click this link (
http://www.rapidshare.com/files/1313731 ... S_1.15.zip )Once downloaded,extract it to your desktop
#3. Once done downloading and extracting, you should see a folder called "KCVDS 1.15" on ur desktop. Enter the folder and click the duel disk icon.
Let's get started Once your logged in your gonna want to build yourself a deck. Click Desk Construction . At your right you will notice many "booster packs" from which you can select cards you want. Just drag the cards you want to your deck area.
You can also use the Search button to look up a specific card. Once done building your deck ,save it. If you have several deck and want to bring one to a duel, select the deck you want to use and click
Set As Default.
DuelPretty obvious,just click
Duel xD. You will see a lobby(similar to GunZ) with many hosted games. You will notice game with the word
IP or
HAM under the game's name. IP are game hosted by an IP adress(I guess?) and
HAM are games hosted by using
Hamachi.
Currently the game is having problems with IP hosting so most players use Hamachi to duel and host.
Hamachi is basically a program that allows you to join other players network so you can connect to their hosted game.
Note: If your hosting a game using Hamachi,when clicking
Creat Duel type down the IP adress you see when opening Hamachi in the adress box
It's ManualOne thing I dislike about KCVDS is that almost everything is manual except for drawing. You just have to click a card to give command such as :
Activate
Set
Special Summon ATK/DEF
Normal Summon
Send to Graveyard
RGF
Return to Hand
Show Hand
Shuffle
View Deck
There is also commands you can use by opening the chat box :
/add 500 (this would add 500 Life Points)
/sub 500 (this would substract 500 life points)
/dice (rolls a dice)
/coin (flips a coin)
AcademyThe KCVDS community has increased a lot since its release, to the point users started creating Academies. Academies are pretty much a community where you can get help,tips and even join tournaments. Most Academies have their own website and a ranking system where you get tested by someone to see how well you duel. Theres 3 rank ;
Red Slifer(low skills),
Ra Yellow(average skills),
Obelisk Blue(pro skills).
From that point you duel other Academy members to gain credits which can get you all sort of goodies. You'll even get to be in Academy v.s Academy tournament

(As for myself im in Light Duel Academy)
So yeah thats pretty much it. This game is pretty decent overall except for it annoying server issues and the fact its manual. KCVDS 1.16(next version) is suppose to be released really soon which will introduce 4000 new cards including the new sets such as Lightsworn,Sacred Beast & Synchros.
Sorry for bad english.
