Horseback is very do-able with only recruits. if you have the veteran.

Milita makes for better cannon fodder than soldiers...they do equal damage, M is cheaper

Be wary of server lag and glitches when blocking.

Having two Vets is better than having just one

Two tips for newbies, based on my own newbie mistakes:

1) After you get all your units assigned in the garrison, be sure to click "okay" to save that setup before clicking on "attack." One time I rushed and clicked attack before saving, and I sent far fewer troops into battle than I intended (which obviously resulted in a loss).

2) I guess I didn't read the guides, because I didn't know for a long time that you can move your garrison closer to the battle zone. Use the "transfer" option and you can position the garrison anywhere within your own territory. (It took my poor general forever to march to his battles before I figured this out, lol).

Always make sure you know if there are any wolf camps, because they will eat your cavalry for lunch.

make sure that u have a good amount of troops in several areas that can help each other while fighting. Also check at what ur against ; if its rock throwers or rangers i suggest u have that many if not more ranged units on ur side. Same for melee units.

In the "Old Friends" adventure you can move you're troops to the other side of the Island by the "Bone church" NOTE: you can only move 2 Generals to the other side of the Island. Once you get them there you can attack every camp around the Bone Church, you can then go attack the Bone Church and then the "Witch Tower" to avoid serious losses when attacking Bone Church send:1st 200R, 2nd 50R 50M 100LB => Loss: 220R to 225R when attacking line up you're Generals and time the attack from both Generals to go into the Bone Church at the same time. If executed properly both Generals will return.

Usually you only fight with one or two generals. Have the rest of your generals drop their troops on the adventure island and return to your island and load up with fresh troops. Your fighting general can reload these troops and keep fighting without having to return to your island. Even though my 250 general can travel twice as fast as a regular general, I use him to fight with because he can have more recruits to absorb punishment and protect the more expensive troops. A meatshield as it were. I always keep the appropriate adventure guide open in a second tab, so I can refer to it with a single click.

if you are sending your general on a suicide mission and you know he will lose send in your army full of bowmen they will kill more than recruits
