Default Re: Finally got it!..now a question on manual use?

Some basic tips that can make first games much more enjoyable:

- take good scales [especially stay away from misfortune]
- take a nice nation that has a lot of possibilities [MA T'ien Ch'i would be a great idea]
- take more gold [about 200] and resources + supplies [around 150], you will have more castles and temples that way
- you can refrain from playing against water nations as it is hard to attack them and frustrating to defend
- if you want to defend a province with a castle you need to order your troops to patrol, not defend; also when you move reinforcements to the castle move them and change their orders to 'move and patrol' [it was very painful lesson]
- use '8' to get connections between provinces, that makes conquering much easier
- you may increase independents strength, it makes initial start slower, but AI has bigger problems with it
