This is the online aspect of the game. You must be connected to the internet in some way to get access to multiplayer. Personally, I do not think that this is the greatest part to play. I would really only recommend people who are highly experienced to play online. I have tried it a few times but never really had the time nor interest to play much more. I don't have much else to say on this part of the game. On some future update I will get and give some tips for online play. Thanks for your patience.

4.4 Campaign Tutorial
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
===============================================================================
This is simply designed for a small bit of practice before entering the
Campaign stage. It really is pretty useful if you want to get used to the format of the game. They will pick a random country for you and will tell you to do certain objectives such as attack some place or defend some place.
In my case, I had to defend from the British. I have three provinces and am to prevent them from being taken over by the northern British. In the tutorial you will experience clicking on armies to find out the number or units at a certain camp. Also to train a unit you are to go to a castle (you should have one to start) and click on it. In the left corner click on the train unit button. This will allow you to buy men for money. You will also me able to hire mercenaries from other countries to fight for you. It will also provide you with informatio on how to end years and build houses. If you want to continue with information keep on reading the tutorial. For now let us check the Battle Tutorial very briefly.

4.5 Battle Tutorial
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Here you practice those battle tactics I was talking about. There are 2 major battles that you can practice on right now. The Sicily Battle and the Bulgaria Battle. I am going to the Sicily Battle for this part of the guide. You will be told that knights are a major part of the battle. This is very true! They have great charge and are the most powerful units in the game. These particular knights are pretty common but you can obtain much harder and more powerful knights.
===============================================================================
From the start you should send your knights towards the peasants. This will easily kill the peasants as your knights are much stronger and have a huge charge force. This is a major advantage you should watch out for when fighting battles. This is generally an easier battle. Just charge your knights all over onto their enemy forces. Good luck on finishing them off. Look at your final statistics if you would like and then go back to the main menu.

Here are the real options. They are the more detailed and precise ones. Yes,
I think you understand. Anyway, once you hit the button you will come across some general options. This is what it should look like.
* Video
* Audio
* Performance
* Controls
* Game
First click on Video. This is where you can change the screen resolution. I don't see how you would have to change this option but if you really have bad resolution change the scroll bar. Now go to the Audio button. Here you can mute the noise and change the volume of the music. Set it to your likings. You can also set the sound quality to whatever you want. Next go to the Performance button. This is where you can switch smoke on and off. The main option here is the unit size. Change it based on how big you want the units to be. Go to
Controls. You can change the mouse speed and camera turning speed. Sometimes it is better to get a faster camera speed. The next part of the options is
Game options. You can change realistic aspects of the game. This included fatigue and limited ammunition. Set all of these to your liking and let us get on out of the option part of this game.
