Keeping the Enemy From Multiplying
In this game, only 20 squads can be on the war map at
any one time. You can keep your opponent from training more men by
detaching squads (preferably in your fort) until the 20-squad limit is
reached. Whenever one of your squads is wiped out, detach another one to
retain the 20-squad limit.
Ford attack hint
Send Two Squads Against Forts Using archers alone to
overrun a fort can inflict a lot of casualties on your army. Instead, send
two or more groups with a few men each just to occupy the enemy archers on
the wall.
Then, send in your regular units. They'll be able to
sneak over the wall while the enemy is already engaged, and then the
battle will take place in the courtyard, where you have better odds of
winning.
The Coward's Way To Inflict Casualties: (hint)
If your archer is outnumbered while fighting another
squad, fire a barrage of arrows and then retreat. The arrows still move
even after your men are safely off-screen, so you can whittle down enemy
forces without taking any casualties of your own.
Don't Zoom In When Non-Archer Squads Attack Forts (hint)
Armies can't retreat unless you press the Zoom button
during the battle. So, if an enemy squad is dumb enough to attack your
fort without any archers, don't zoom in to see the battle. The attackers
won't be able to retreat, so they'll eventually all be killed.
You Don't Need A Whole Squad To Capture A Flag (hint)
You can capture a flag without tying up an entire squad.
Just detach one man into a new squad, then just send him to the flag. As
long as there is no enemy lurking nearby, a single soldier works as well
as a full squad.
Exporting Graphics (hint)
If you try to create a screen dump using the standard
Command-Shift-3 combination, it won't work. Command-Enter takes a PICT
file screen snapshot, which you can then edit into any graphics file.
