Help needed: How to defend? / Guides to nation

[Ironhawk]

Mid to Late game is tricky for a new player. You are presented with so many options in terms of spells/summons/forging that it can be difficult to form a coherent strategy. My suggestion to you is to look up a standard strategy for whatever nation you are playing on the forums. Use that strategy as a guide for how to get through the mid game and gain experience with the whole process.


Aran is the traditional first-game map since it comes with dominions. And while it is not a good map in the sense of balanced starting positions, it actually is a good map in terms of terrain training. It will teach you how to get into the water, how to survive in waste, why farmlands are so prized, etc.
