Rename kills to points and give points for damage dealt, not kills.
You should get rewarded for damaging players, not just if you do the killing blow.
This will reward everyone and will have a positive impact on teamplay.
- Lower level players or less good players will now be rewarded as they will now atleast get points instead of zero kills
- Less teamwounding and teamkilling as people will still get points for damaging, not just the final blow that kills
- Less attacking of peasants as it's more worth killing a higher level guy
- Improved teamplay as people will likely go for higher level targets who actually pose a threat instead of those harmless peasants
- Rewards good players who actually does a lot of damage but doesn't make many kills due to low damage
- Cavalry fighting each other will increase if you also get points for damaging horses
Withdraw points for team damage the same way. Horse bumping included.

POINTS = ((DAMAGE * LEVEL) / 100) rounded up.
$damage = 5;
$level = 10;
$points = round(($damage * $level) / 100);
DAMAGE = Damage absorbed by target (eg. if you deal 50 damage and target has 10 hit points left, it is still just 10 points of damage)
LEVEL = Level of target hit (1-35)
Below are examples for dealing damage to level 10 (60hp max), 20 (81hp max), 30 (102hp max) and 35 (112hp max):
0 points
4 damage, level 10 (or 10 damage, level 4)
(It's the same result if you switch values between level and damage)
1 point
5-14 damage, level 10
3-7 damage, level 20
2-4 damage, level 30
2 damage, level 35
2 points
15-24 damage, level 10
8-12 damage, level 20
5-8 damage, level 30
5-7 damage, level 35
5 points
45-54 damage, level 10
23-27 damage, level 20
15-18 damage, level 30
13-15 damage, level 35
10 points
95-104 damage, level 10 (not possible - 60hp is max of level 10)
48-52 damage, level 20
32-34 damage, level 30
28-29 damage, level 35
15 points
73-77 damage, level 20
49-51 damage, level 30
42-44 damage, level 35
20 points
98-102 damage, level 20 (not possible - 81 hp is max of level 20)
65-68 damage, level 30
56-58 damage, level 35
25 points
82-84 damage, level 30
70-72 damage, level 35
30 points
99-101 damage, level 30
85-87 damage, level 35
35 points
115-118 damage, level 30 (not possible - 102 hp is max of level 30)
99-101 damage, level 35
40 points
113-115 damage, level 35 (not possible - 112hp is max of level 35)[/i]
So the most points you can possibly get is 39 (109-112 damage on level 35)

Horses
What about points for killing them?
I don't know it's possible to check if the horse took damage while an enemy was riding it or not. Is it?
If it is then count a horse as a level 10 maybe?
1 point
5-14 damage, level 10
2 points
15-24 damage, level 10
5 points
45-54 damage, level 10
The more points you get from damaging a horse the more will cavalry fight each other. Good, huh?
