Play the Tutorial game; it offers an unbeatable explanation of the
ins and outs of this richly textured program.

Develop your land. Your computer opponents will expand their
territories relentlessly, so don't let any of your resources lie
fallow. Build new structures on each turn, and move on when a
castle is fully developed.

Attack the big guys first. If you go to battle against an opponent
that has one large, particularly tough unit, throw all your forces
against that cadre and ignore the other enemies for the time
being.

Learn as a knight. Knights are effective fighters, and their
castles are easy to construct and beef up. The Wizards' power may
be seductive, but their castles are complex. Barbarians' slap-dash
castles are no-brainers to build, but poor defensive skills make
them a bad choice for long campaigns.

Master the Impossible. The game's Impossible level is a baptism by
fire that will challenge even the best players. Your opponents
start out with almost overwhelming resources, are rewarded at
twice the rate you are, and won't attack unless you're hopelessly
outnumbered. You start out with zilch -- and things go downhill
quickly from there. Use this level only when you want a very quick
game or want to really test your skills.
