I suppose Arralen covered most of your questions. Can't really add anything more since they were so general in nature.

However, if you later have any more detailed and specific questions, fire away and you'll find a lot of people willing to help you out there.

I'll also give you a tip for the early era: Do NOT choose the Vanheim or especially Helheim as one of the AI opponents unless you like getting stomped flat, because they have a tendency to get out of control and you could end up facing a fairly powerful nation with two or three times your own resources and stacked with the AI bonus modifiers. Once you get a finer grasp of the various aspects of the game, you should be able to stand up to them.

On the other hand if YOU want to stomp the AI, select Helheim in particular to play yourself, Helheim is a very, very good nation for a beginner to play. For various reasons Helheim is something of a supernation and you should do very well even through you will make alot of newbie mistakes.

A powerful bless (lvl 9 in a magic skill on your pretender) works very well with them.

I have purposely been vague so as not too spoil your enjoyment of the game, if you require more specific answers just ask.

How I wish I could go back to the time when I struggled to beat the AI, those where real fun games.
