01 / THE GUIDE
Technology Path Comparison
Chart two distinct technology branches—one focused on economic growth, the other on military upgrades. Note how each path influences building options and unit strength, then decide which aligns with your current objectives.
- Compare the benefits of economic versus military technologies before committing resources.
- Prioritize technologies that unlock units needed for your preferred army composition.
02 / THE GUIDE
Front vs. Second Line Balance
Create two army drafts: one heavy on front‑line units, another emphasizing second‑line support. Simulate a day’s combat on paper to see how range and resilience affect casualty rates.
- Balance front‑line durability with second‑line firepower for flexible tactics.
- Experiment with different unit combos to discover effective synergies.
03 / THE GUIDE
Manpower Forecasting
Track your manpower pool over several days, recording recruitment and replenishment rates. Use the data to schedule a large offensive when your reserves peak.
- Position second‑line units to maximize their range against enemy front lines.
- Monitor morale changes after battles to anticipate retreats.
04 / THE GUIDE
Resource Dominance Strategy
Identify a resource you can outproduce. Build the necessary structures to secure its bonus, then compare the economic impact against a more balanced resource approach.
- Plan offensives when manpower reserves are high to avoid shortages.
- Allow time for manpower to recover after large battles before launching new attacks.
05 / THE GUIDE
Building Placement Review
Place a selection of buildings in different provinces and record any changes in resource output or unit production speed. Analyze which locations yield the greatest efficiency.
- Focus on producing the resource where you can become the largest producer for its bonus.
- Use specialized buildings to boost the output of your most valuable resources.
