The general's compendium - we make strats for you.

For Dwarf/Warrior, what's a good OOP goal (OPA,DPA,WPA,TPA,,acreage), and how to achieve that. Assuming KD strategy fits with that plan, how would you rather start?

Plan to be an attacker after the first stage, so any more general or specific tips for later OOW and war builds are also welcome.

I am new to this game so if anything about my question seems noobish is because i am so don't hold it against me :) I'm a quick learner and very active, so don't let that be a factor in your suggestions, i mainly want to know how i SHOULD be playing rather than what i CAN realistically archive being new. I'm trying to to find a plan for next age, assuming there wont be any significant changes to the game.

Thanx.

High barracks, high offense, high guilds, armories, and banks.

Camp behind fog, and run tons of plunders on people each day. You'll have your elites up and running in no time, as well as your wizards.

If someone decides to hit you, you can most likely hit them before their stuff's home.

[LameBeaver]

...so that means growing through exploration and paradise?

[VT2]

You attack for land.
Why would you blow resources on something you can get for free?

[LameBeaver]

was just clarifying this one.

run tons of plunders on people each day.

coz i tried it(just attacked for resource and paradized/explored for land) and didn't become fruitful as expected (maybe i really suck as dwarf - damn)

also

High barracks, high offense, high guilds, armories, and banks.

i assume this is the priority list. is it ok with no hospitals on the list? coz with high barracks means more fights, means more casualties, which means your losing your expensive elites...(i guess)

i'm also curious(and hoping) for a detailed answer to his question:

how would you rather start?

Plan to be an attacker after the first stage, so any more general or specific tips for later OOW and war builds are also welcome.

anyways thanks for the confirmation...

You need to be more flexible and innovative as a player.
Just because I don't give you all the strings doesn't mean there isn't more for you to do.

You want hospitals later, when your army and province are both bigger, and you have elites.
When you have almost nothing trained, low acres, and you're using mostly specialists, it's not as important to have them.

Focus on armories and banks first, while hitting and plundering for land and resources.
Once your army's really manly, you convert around completely, and prepare to destroy people.

he means, use an inactive finder, and u will find resources easy. Under 1k acres, plundering is not a challenge.

[VT2]

You don't even need that.
Just go look for humans that have bad NWPA.

[Dlaf]

actually gnomes with 180+ NWPA have the best gc.
if u can break them.

[VT2]

Dark elves and elves, run as T/M's, have even more.
If you can break them.

By then again, if you can break them, you should go for their science instead.

What is a good war build for an orc/warhero at 1000 acres with all offense in elites?

[VT2]

Training grounds, barracks, and hospitals should form your core.
If your TPA is horrible, add watchtowers. If your TPA's badass, which it might just be, add thieves' dens, so you can do something else than just attack.
Farms as needed.

Everything else is secondary.

For the current age, what would be your favorite race/personality and why?

[VT2]

Dwarf/mystic, dwarf/warrior, elf/warrior, elf/mystic, human/rogue, human/warrior.

Sage works for all three.

They're my favorites because they're the most powerful when fielded in large numbers, and human works nicely for soloplay, too, if that's your kind of thing.

can you make a A undead/warrrior strategy guide? (foor a n00b)
