Castles 2 - Siege & Conquer Small cheat: ------------ To make the days go faster and have all the work done in no-time, just press/hold the right mouse button. Quick neutrality check: ----------------------- You can not send a Saboteur, Diplomat, Spy, or Merchant to a territory if it is not owned. If these options are not available for a territory, then it is neutral. Free Resources using Merchant Option: ------------------------------------- The "Merchant" task allows you to trade your resources with another family. However, it doesn't check that you have enough resources to give away when you trade (although it will subtract them if you have enough). So for example, if you don't need iron for a while, you can keep trading away your 0 iron for other resources such as gold. Merchant is also the fastest task that helps toward your administrative, military, and political ratings, so doing it early and often is one of the fastest ways to increase your ratings.
