6.0 FAQ's


Q: Are Tutorial's helpful?

A: Yes. They display the formal way of playing and will explain in detail each step of the game.

Q: Is this worth buying?

A: Let's just put it this way. DON'T rent it. It is extremely long and displays excellent replay value. It is one of the best games ever.

Q: Should I make a castle in each province?

A: No. Only build one castle in a general area. This will make it a lot easier to make units. You will not have to wait as many years to make all those castles for each province.

Q: Are any of the countries easier and/or harder?

A: Yes. I would say that the location and amount of land matters. You don't want too much land but you don't want to little either.

Q: What should I say when other countries offer an alley partnership?

A: In the beginning you should always accept the offer. It prevents many battles and gives you time to set a well established economy up. At the end you can start to decline as you are trying to take over all of the provinces.

Q: When should I invade a province?

A: Don't in the beginning. Maybe one or two at most for a little more space but keep that as a lower priority. As you start to develop better and more skilled armies, start to invade all those smaller provinces. This is the smartest strategy.

Q: What is a good country to start out with?

A: I would start with the Spanish or Byzantines. They are probably the easiest.



7.0 Tips and Tricks


I don't have a whole lot on this right now. I will update soon with anyone who gives me tips or tricks. Anyone who does will get credit. Just e-mail me.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Tips
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

1. Alley all requests when given.

2. Make one castle in each certain area.

3. Don't spend so much time on each year. Sometimes you should simulate 2-3 years at a time.

4. Do not keep bunches of men in each province. This will increase the price for each province causing you to loose a lot of money.

5. Build Crusades as soon as you can to get it out of the way of the Pope.

6. Higher your taxes if your loyalty is above 100%

7. Don't waist time as your time is short to rule the world.

8. Sign missionaries as they are sometimes very good and are very cheap. They really build up your army to great numbers. They are highly recommended for crusades.

9. Do not have a king in a territory that will have a battle since the king will always become the general even if he has only 1 command compared to another general in the same territory with 9. This can cause you to lose.

10.The amount of men is not always the key but who is in the army. Always pay attention to this.

11.Build Inn's to make mercenaries.

12.Make farmland to increase the income for a province. It boosts your Florins.

13. Royal Palaces are something you should concentrate on early. They are your first actual GOOD knights.

Tricks

1. To prevent yourself from losing, save and load your game whenever necessary.

2. Press P to pause a game during battle time.


8.0 Strategy Walkthrough


Now for the cream of the crop. This is the juice. Call it whatever you want.
Anyway, I am going to play as the SPANISH. You can choose them or any other country. Just do something similar. All of the strategies are similar. You will have to resolve some of your countries more complex problems. I would like to give credit to Daevy11 for the Danes guide. I will write a Spanish guide. Daevy11, I have tried to contact you but you have never gave a response. You did not indicate if your document could be shared. If you want it off this FAQ than please indicate that by e-mail. Thanks.

As I start as the Spanish I have the two provinces Castile and Leon. I would strongly recommend that you use Castile to create your units. In any other
