[Vanhouten]

Always click "OK" before you send an army to battle!

to defeat Wild Mary guarded by 199 dogs: you will need 200 calvary to be sacrificed taking out all the dogs. Then go in with 35 militia,50 soldiers, and 115 long bowman and this will do her in. good luck in taking out all the other camps. Linc

always double check what troops you have assigned to your general as nothing is more annoying than sending 200cav to their death when you mean to send longbows or soldiers to a victory

always make as many spare settler boosts in your provision house as you can having a stock of 1500-2000 in your star menu mean never having to wait for settlers to rebuild an army again

THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP OF ALL
Is have fun and enjoy yourself

Dear Settler's community, a few issues have come to our attention. We feel as a group of antagonists to thank you. When you leave your pretty little safe homeland to come entertain us in battle you actually don't have more troops ready as reinforcements. Good. Keep up that ill-advised method of going to war!!! You don't even have more settlers prepared in your star reservoir to enter into service in your armed forces barracks. Haha. You think that your first contingent of 200 or with that illustrious 250 troop general that you will defeat us? Good. Keep it up. We understand that some of our traitors have even given you maps of our camps and you are not studying them in your war councils. Thank you. We know your strengths and weaknesses and who to attack first and last. Please do not prepare for the onslaught that you will receive. We certainly are prepared for you. There we a have spoken. There will be no parlay and no survivors when you enter our realms. We are treacherous killers trained in the fine art of survival at all costs and means. Stay away unless you have planned out "our demise."
Signed, Pirates, witches, outlaws and all the rest of us cutthroats and mercs.

Keyword: Patience

The more you use the battle simulator, you'll begin to realize you need at least as many troops as the army group you are attacking. Don't get hasty and send in fewer troops because you don't want to wait for your barracks to make more.

The more troops you have, the more collective attacking points you have. Therefore, if you can wipe out your opponent in just one round, that's fewer points of damage he can inflict on you.. meaning fewer casualties for you.

Play Hard.. Have Fun!

If you fight a bandit camp and kill all the men, but they also kill all your men and your general (Yes, this really happened to me!), you have to send another man to take down the tent....lol. You will of course have to wait for your general to recover or buy a second general (that's what I did!).

[Wynde]

Measure twice, cut once... or in this case, check camp twice, attack once. Nothing like sending a group of archers to the wrong camp, and having them meet a pack of dogs. Unless you have troops to spare, of course!
Secondarily, use the combat sim! It works wonderfully well. For those that want more detail, I see it above here.
