well as for style, just staying alive would be nice
, It just seems that in beginning, you have a choice of expansion with cheap troops, however you need priests to build temples in those captured provinces, or you start research but this means you have to build more mages to help up your research and cut back on troops, plus you will need mages and priests to search the captured provinces. Ok, It seems that the Ai does swarm quickly where ever a human player is even if there are neutrals still left. SO, generaly, do you go for research immediatly and less troops, or more cheap troops and take provinces, or build mages to help with research and searching for magic sites? Also in searching magic sites, I know you need a priest or mage to search and helps if they have that particular type. It just seems like they never find many. Last 2 games I found exactly 2 sites, no matter who I put to search.. which doesn't help. So any advise in general as to starting out would be appreciated. I will boost the Neutrals higher as Gandolf said...
