01 / THE GUIDE
Pause Timing Comparison
Run the same battle twice, pausing at different moments. Note how early versus late pauses affect unit positioning and overall success, then decide which timing feels smoother.
- Use the pause function to scan the battlefield before committing to an attack.
- Experiment with different pause intervals to find a rhythm that suits your planning style.

Logistics Trade‑off Test
Play two separate campaigns: one focusing on feeding troops, the other on looting cities. Compare how each resource strategy influences army condition and battle outcomes.
- Consider the balance between feeding troops and looting cities before each campaign turn.
- Check city loot options to understand what supplies are available.

Branch Decision Mapping
Record key story choices and the resulting narrative branches. Visualizing this map helps you see which decisions lead to preferred endings.
- Take note of early decisions, as they may affect later events.
- If you replay, try alternative choices to explore other branches.

Map Editor Exploration
Create three distinct battle maps emphasizing terrain, unit placement, and objectives. Play each map to observe how design choices shape tactical options.
- Test a custom map locally before sharing it with others.
- Start with simple terrain changes to understand the editor's basics.

Mod Impact Evaluation
Install a unit‑adding mod and a weapon‑adding mod separately. Test battles with each active to see how new content alters balance and strategy.
