1. Before the game even starts
You will receive 2 free comandeers.
So there wont be a serious need for comandeer, however its recommend u start with 1 more units
so the units u choose should be
commandeer
spearman, swordmen or scout<i would choose
spearman, swordmen or scout or comandeer<i would choose
spearman, swordmen or scout<i would choose
spearman, swordmen or scout<i would choose
this pattern has been choosen from many other players from the other threads

>you castles has 3 road they each lead to a resource biulding send your comandeer to each road and when the turn starts u can take over and send ur scout searching for your gold mine
>the game is played on a "diamond view"
>look at 8.turns to figure out which game is best for u

3. techs and upgrades
techs
upgrades
resources
when u upgrade a resources biulding in the long run u will gain, if u do it in the first turn u take the biulding over
when u upgrade u gain 50% of the production

castle walls
when u upgrade here this converts all ur palisades inside ur castle to stone walls after u do this upgrade ur allowed to learn drawbridges in tech

4. taking over
taking over requires ur troop commandeer to be adject to the biulding one your commandeer is there make sure
your commandeer has more than 40%battle points(bp)
if its not fully taken over u try again next time u have more than 40% bp

after u take it over its your building by click on the object on the area ur commandeer is adject to on the side panel of the map u click take over

if its a resource biulding wait til u have more than 40%bp before u repair it so u can collect the full resource

taking over castles is more tricky
first there has to be no enemy troops within the castle
second u has to be a clear spot not on rubble
third if first and second is done u click on your commandeer unit then u look at the side panel of the map all the way to the bottom of ur commandeer stats u will see take over castle u click that and u willbe taking over the castle

u will choose a spot adject to ur commandeer click on the spot look at side map panel and choose biuld click blacksmith and select yes if u dont see black smith refresh map
>if u see wrenches u will have to wait til u have 40 or more bp to finish the biulding once the wrenches are gone ur building has been biult
-black smith also u to biuld others biuldings and to develop blacksmith tech

-Training Guild a 1x1 allows u to upgrade troops and gives u training guild tech or
-Barracks a 2x2 biulding allows u to deploy troops from there military training is where u can manage the troop type for the barracks
>if the biulding is in red u need to follow the direction on how to fix eg.that it may that ur too close to enemy not enough funds not and so on

6 attacking and defending
melee are units that attack only when ur troop is adjcent to the other to figure out hte strenght u can use the warcalculator or do the math which is ur troops total damage capablity (which u can see in the map panel when u click on ur troops)times the 1.%bp +the difference in %between ur attack modifer and ur opponents defense modifers= ur opponents loses
make sure this number is atleast half his health
his defense is his health times 1.%in the difference of his defense modifer and ur attack modifer

Range units
-they are best from far away and should be protected by ur melee units
-archers range of 6 squares as highlighted can move 9 mp per turn
-arbs range of 4 squares has some melee stength
-balist range of 9 the best range capability can move 6 mp per turn
-marksmens range of 8 strongest range unit can move 9 mp per turn

attacking biuldings
-melee troops can attack biuldings at a damage of 250 per attack
-range units cant not attack biuldings
-seige weapons are ideal for this they can do full attacks
--battling rams are like melee seige and capults have a range of 7 and are able to inflict damages on biuldings

10. Military Training
here is where u choose ur troops after u upgrade
-first thing u can have a maximum of 3 active barracks u can own more than 3 but only 3 will produce troops
-second after u already upgrade units in the upgrade u can assign them to barracks with a free learn after the free learn u have to wait 1 full turn til the troop is trained into that barracks where u can select them in the list above the assign
-third advise if u plan to dedicate one barracks to melee just learn melee in it, dont just learn everything in one barracks, what u can do is learn one melee of one kind in one another kind in another or learn range units in one and seige in another its all up to what u plan to do

11 quitting and innactives
-if u choose to quit a game during turn 0 this will not affect ur level but u will not be able to join that game til it begin again
-if u choose to quit after turn 0 this is forwn upon so in the games ranking u will drop below the players who have been eliminated
-going innacitive after game starts is also frown upon so if u go innactice for over 5 turns u will show up in ranks and go under those who be eliminated
