Don't attack independent barbarians with your pretender in the beginning, they can hurt. Barbarians can't handle arrows.

Heavy Cav / Knight provinces are also dangerous to attack with high value units due to thier lances.

Always buy at least 1PD in every province. Don't buy more than 10PD unless you have a specific reason to do so.

-Always script Divine Blessing and Blessing if you have sacred troops, because the casting AI is not smart enough to do it.

-Alway double-check Stealth commanders, because they Stealth as a default and won't join battles.

-Mercenaries are a great way to site search for Paths your nation doesn't have naturally.

give to your mages exactly the number of gems they need for casting what you have scripted

give all the other gems to a scout, always in stealth moving with your army.
