The guy that put it together is Bruce Geryk.
But much of the material was a collaboration of everyone in the beta test group which includes the developers and a number of people that have answered in this thread.

Heh, I just yesterday read a proposed tactic for MA Jotunheim from the manual's nations chapter, and thought that the proposition had Gandalf Parker written all over it, with the flood gate analogy and all.

Bruce Geryk at least used to post here every now and then, I don't remember his nick anymore though.

He posted some weeks ago and said that he's going to correct the mistakes in the current manual for a new print run, didn't he?

Ooh... so many choices.

I like Sauromatia. Good cavalry, good archers, decent infantry and nice magic. I think they are quite easy to get a feel for, plus they are very interesting I think.

The military side of things should be fairly intuitive I think. Experiment with positioning your units on the battlefield and getting them working well together.

For the magic, I'd recommend researching up Evocation. Nether bolt is very nice, and all your Enaries can cast it. If you can get up to Shadow Blast and have some gems spare to cast it, that can be devastating.

And be careful with your hydras, they tend to poison your other troops if not placed at a distance.
