-ADVICE
TO PLAYERS-
1)
Read the rules (again).
2)
Use the different troop types appropriately according
to
the prevailing
terrain.
3)
Never attack
with a
slight advantage when you
could
attack
with overwhelming odds.
4)
Diplomatic contact with other players is
essential.
If
you do
not make alliances with other
players,
they
will probably make alliances against you.
5)
Try to avoid getting involved in a war with more than
one
of your neighbours.
6)
Do not start a war against an equal enemy unless you
have
the assistance of allies.
7)
Overtaxation provokes revolts or causes economic
decline.
8)
Ensure that your supply routes are secure.
Try to
cut
off enemy supply routes.
9)
Use your
generals carefully.
A disloyal general may
revolt
if put in command of too many troops.
If
possible
your commander-in-chief
should command your
largest
force personally. Energetic generals
move
faster,
but may engage their forces in a battle that
they
cannot win if they
are not very
skillful. Give
energetic
generals risk level 1 orders, or
avoid
employing
them where
they might
be outnumbered.
10)
If you are Civilised,
protect your capital. Its
loss
will
severely affect the morale of your troops.
11)
Remember that troops in enemy territory must retreat
to
their own territory for the winter.
If they are
unable
to do so they will suffer attrition. If
they
retreat,
they may suffer normal movement attrition if
applicable.
12)
If your enemy has been foolish enough not
to
garrison
his cities, you can capture several cities in
one
turn with the same
general. This
is done by
dropping
off at least one unit at each city en route,
so
that you have forces at each of
the cities during
the
conflict resolution phase. Note that
any forces
that
are out
of supply
may suffer attrition.
13)
Always write your orders clearly,
and in
the
proper
format.
