Pro Tips - Battle Edition

[RYEGOLD]

To avoid a combat disaster like me, use the transfer garrison to move your garrison closer and in more of a direct line of your target. By moving your garrison not only does it take less time for your general to attack but you won't attack a camp you are not ready for like I did!

[Zantor]

Your General is the KEY to everything that is in this game. If your general is killed in battle, you can't fight. ALWAYS keep a good look out on him, cause without him your toast.

Is it possible to send just a handful of recruits into two of three overlapping bandit camps with the intention of distracting the bandits in the two camps while your main force attacks the third camp (your intended target)? i'm new to battle. Don't know if this is a sound strategy, but if so, it could result in fewer recruit losses while wounding a few bandits.

Players new to the game will notice that cavalry does very very very very little damage, and take forever to make. Cavalry are not a waste of money and time. They are a first strike troop that kills dogs, and are necessary to complete your first multilayered battles.

When following a adventure guide always think about what you can change and make better.

Lets say you have 200 soldiers and 200 recruits and your following a guide that doesn't include soldiers.

Camp A says: Send 200 recruits - Losses are 50 recruits.
Send 50 recruits and 150 soldiers instead

This reduces your losses and help you manager your population limit.

You should always make sure that you have more fighters in your army than whatever camp you are attacking. You should also make sure that your fighters have more power than the camp you are attacking. (e.g. You shouldn't send 50 bowmen against 50 guards because the guards do more damage than the bowmen)

Use terrain pathing to your advantage.

[FerretKing]

Use and protect advanced units whenever possible - limit losses to basic units.

[FerretKing]

A unit that doesn't die heals to full after the battle - your units and your enemies'.
