-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.
