General Tipps / Things not to do / Scripts

[Meglobob]

Gandalf Parker said:By the way, on the gems thing. One tactic that alot of people start using is sending scouts along to hold the gems and blood slaves. They stay out of the combat and wont use those up.

This is a very good tactic, but always remember to have your scout on sneak or hide orders. You do not want to lose those gems/blood slaves/magic items. Its also a good idea to script retreat with your scout and place to the rear of the battlefield just in case.

As a rule of thumb lets say I have a army with 2 mages who are scripted to cast spells in combat of 6 gems, my scout would typically be carrying 12 gems, enough to fight another 2 battles with. Make sure you always remember to transfer the gems from scout to mages, I have forgot once or twice and had some embarassing defeats...
