Each non-King player accumulates credits when they kill an enemy. You only score credits for killing players who are greater than or equal to your current class, and the credit distribution is a ratio-system: credits Awarded = EnemyValue / YourValue. The values for the classes are based on their pieces in chess (Pawn=1, Knight/Bishop=3, Rook=5, Queen=9).

The King doesn't accumulate credits, but the credits he earns are distributed evenly to his teammates, so an active King will benefit his team. Keep in mind you lose a credit for the Pawn's Sacrifice skill, so make sure to kill at least one enemy or you'll lose credits (you can never go into negative credit values though; keep that in mind too...)

We'll should have our own forums up in a few days, so we don't have to resort to using other mods' forums to discuss the game

edit: Our forums are up: http://www.unnaturalgaming.com/forums - just in case the deathball guys don't want us talking about other mods on their forums
