That way, I get the advantage but still enjoy the gameplay. GameTips: --------- * You should have plenty of archers when attacking any fortress or on the open-range fights. And whether you are defending or attacking, keep your archers bunched together and let them knock out the other troops. * Don't try to start off with the largest castle or fort. You'd be surprised at just how many attackers you can kill with 150 archers stationed inside. * My favorite structure to fight against is the second-largest wooden structure. Take about 100 archers or more and pull them around to the right side of the fort. There is a little notch where the land protrudes into the water. Have all of your archers march to that notch. You can take out all enemy archers or other troops that attempt to shoot back at you when they get around the one o'clock position of the fort. Then, after you have reduced most of the troops there, use one battering ram to knock down the door. * Let the other nobles fight among themselves when you get into the country scenarios. Build your defenses (forts and castles) and add about 50 troops each year. * A little ale each time the cart comes around will keep your population happier. You don't have to keep them drunk, just happy. * In battle, flank, flank, flank. Always have a least two groups of melee troops, one to engage and protect your archers from the front, and one fast group to go around and get the opposition's ranged troops. * Always have your blacksmith working in all your territories: even a trickle of weapons per turn can save you when you eventually need to whip up an army in a hurry. There's nothing worse than facing a surprise invasion with nothing but pitchforks. * Always hire mercenaries when you can afford it. They are more effective, and you don't suffer morale or manpower problems, unlike an army raised from the peasant stock you've won. Integer rollover for happiness: ------------------------------- If a province is losing around 160 happiness per season from taxes, the -160 happiness will rollover to about +120 happiness. This will be shown directly in the tax box. Additional taxes lower the 120. The only way to get -160 happiness for taxes is to have about 7 provinces all at 50% tax becuse of the -15 happiness to all counties for each one and the -50 for itself. Then, not only will you have an almost unlimited income, you will have a huge happiness bonus for all provinces. Not immensely useful- you need 7 procinces for it to work, but it's fun to do at the end of a game. Also, watch out for happiness itself's rollover. Once I had a province with 100 happiness and getting 30 happiness/turn, and the next turn it went to 0- another rollover. Don't worry, when at 0, the happiness will start to go up again, but it is unsettling for a turn or two. Receive Faster Letter Replies: ------------------------------ After you have sent a message to any one of the nobles, save your game then reload. You will get the reply in the same season you sent them. Hex Editor Cheats: ------------------ In order to complete these cheats, you will need to have a hex editor installed on your computer.
