Chapter 1
Your Kingdom
Everyone knows that your kingdom is the lifeblood of your great and powerful armies
it just isn't obvious till its to late.Now at the beginning you got only a few province/s.
You first got to capture as many rebel settlements as you can and try to build a very good economy as MONEY
is the lifeblood of your kingdom.NOw try to make as many friends as you can suck up to the Pope if you are using a
catholic nation and foster three things in your kingdom:
1: Happiness
If you can get the people to be happy more people will come more people mean more TAXES which means more money!!
Plus it has the added benefit of preventing them from revolting!
2: Trade
Trade will be your main source of income and you must keep it going to achieve maximum profit.
3: Religion
Try to keep your religion rating high in your province that way it keeps them happy and promotes happiness and weakens the enemy with
a different religion also it makes the Pope very happy.
Chapter 2
Keeping the peace
Now every kingdom needs good defenses to defend their interior and to keep the peace.
Try to keep Castles around most of your borders and with large proinvinces keep strong Castles in the interior from time to time as well.
Every now and then a major city after some time gets too unhappy ad nothing can be done about it so I personally let them revolt then
move in and defeat them then select EXTERMINATE to reduce the population to a controllable level bu this is rare and should be avoided.
Chapter 3
WAR!!!!!!!
Now when in war try to chose where you will fight, keep to the high land if you love ranged attacks ,
forests for ambushes and river crossings for a good squabble.
In battle stick to the rules of engagement try to occupy them with
our heavy troops and flank them with cavalry, try to soften them with as many ranged units as you can to weaken their moral and
numbers.
My best tip I can give you is this........
NEVER EVER FIGHT MORE THAN ONE ENEMY ON DIFFERENT SIDES!!!!!
This is because you could get distracted by one enemy while the other attacks your other end!!!
