Yet another new person with a question...

[sector24]

I can only reiterate what I already said. My first game was more about understanding the interface and the game mechanics. What are afflictions, what's old age? How much upkeep do my soldiers cost? What's the difference between attack and precision, what's fatigue? Can my army take out 50 light infantry? 10 knights? In my first game I didn't even know you could click on a guy's weapon to see its length and damage, there would be no way to know whether I should recruit more archers, pikemen or glaive wielders let alone what armor to give them. The stuff you're talking about I didn't even attempt until my 3rd or 4th game.
