Warlord: Britannia

Beginner’s Guide:
-----------------
Written by L.U.C.I.
This guide should contain everything you need to get started in the game.
-=Basics=-
* Your overall goal in Warlord: Britannia is to conquer the entire map.
* Read the tooltips that can be accessed by pushing “I”, and you can scroll
through it with “U” and “O”. They help explain a lot of the game.
* In order to save a game your army must be disbanded.
* If your army is not responding, double check their assignments. For them
to follow you, you must assign them as soldiers and and make sure you’ve
assembled them.
* Same thing for buildings not being constructed, check to make sure you
have workers assigned.
-=Inventory=-
Your inventory consists of the following items:
* Your trusty gladius. Swing with LMB, hold your shield up with RMB, hold
up shield and attack to perform a stab. This weapon obviously works best
from behind. Aim for the head if you’re feeling lucky. Less effective
against armored opponents or shielded opponents head on.
* Your bow with 6 arrows. Make them count. RMB to aim, then hold down LMB
until fully drawn and then let go. Seems to be a one hit kill, no matter
where you hit. SAVE THESE FOR ARMORED OPPONENTS! You will not get any more
arrows until you return to camp and disband your army.
* Building tool. Use this to build everything you need. You need
contubernium tents in order to recruit more soldiers. I believe 48-49 tents
will be enough for an entire legion (recommend 6×8, 7×7, or I’ve heard
building 1×48 along the beach can make an excellent setup). I have not
checked if officer tents are even required, and if they are you don’t need
too many of them. Chests hold wood so make sure you have a few of those.
Pots I believe are an alternative form of storage and decoration. You will
occasionally be attacked, however I have found these attacks to be pretty
easy to beat.
* Your vine staff. The mark of your office as a Legate (commander of a
Legion). Use this to target trees you want to cut down. This is also used
to upgrade soldiers and their armor. RMB on a soldier to upgrade armor,
LMB to talk with them (where you can upgrade armor and promote soldiers).
* Your javelins. You get two. I’m not sure if there is much difference
between the two. They both seem to kill with a hit anywhere. Basically a
similar tool to arrows, and you replenish them in the same way.
* Your torch. Douse it at night if you want to sneak up on a settlement.
-=Combat=-
The best tip about this game I can offer is to focus on filling up your
legions with recruits. You will occasionally have to promote soldiers in
each legion in order to allow more to be recruited. At the time this was
written, this game seems to favor numbers over armor upgrades.
Armor upgrades ARE good, however I generally only prioritize armor for
those in the front ranks (since they will usually take most of the hits).
However make sure you do upgrade armor once your ranks are filled out.
Generally speaking, combat will happen in one of three ways.
You attack a settlement. The defending soldiers will rush out of the town
to confront your soldiers. I’ve personally found that the best thing to do
is to hold your soldiers up in battle ranks just outside of town. They will
automatically throw javelins at anyone attacking if you order them to hold
in battle line (haven’t tested in marching line). Use your soldiers as bait
for the enemy, and circle around behind them to shoot arrows, throw javs,
and backstab enemies (kill armor users first!). When the mass of the enemy
has made contact with my frontline, I order a charge to finish them off.
You run into enemies while traveling (or they wander upon you). Generally
the size of these units depends on what it is. Generally use similar tactics
to taking towns. Make sure to hunt down survivors to get a reward (if you
don’t kill them all outright you will have to chase them down; luckily they
can be found on the map).
If you are hanging out in your settlement, there is a chance that an attack
will be launched at you. I haven’t found these attacks to be troublesome
enough to build defenses, however I am not sure if they scale up as you go
to more dangerous biomes.
It is important to refresh your troops in between battles. If you don’t,
even the best soldiers will die from accumulated wounds. Keeping your
soldiers alive has become more important in the latest update.
Legate Guide:

Written by Paladin_Krennik
Warm greetings, my fellow Legates.
-=Foreword=-
After spending over 80 hours being obsessed with this game and conquering the
island and it’s rather annoying inhabitants, I wanted to share the tips that
lead me to victory in my campaign.
-=Beginning Game Tips=-
At the very start, it’s a good idea to focus on attacking convoys rather than
territory. Sure, it won’t give you passive income right away, but it’ll build
your wealth as you let your men gain experience while not having to worry about
possible raiding parties.
Adopt a rotating schedule of the following; Territory attack, VIP convoy/Noble
attack, wait a day (helps troops recover health, javelins and gives them that
much better chance of living to day 10 to get the veteran armor upgrade). Raids
against you won’t happen if you take your time, take territory one bit at a time
and then kill VIPs and Nobles.
-=Mid/Late Game Tips=-
You only need 1,100 silver per day to maintain a full legion, 325 gold per day
for that achievement, 150 civilians killed for that achievement and 150 slaves
for that achievement. Once you have the achievements for taking taxation, slaves
and killing civilians, you can speed up the conquering process by taking multiple
territories in a row without asking for anything once you’ve won. If you take a
settlement but don’t take anything, the local and global unrest will stay at zero
(and by that point, you’ll have enough passive currency to not even need any more
to keep your forces in the best shape possible)
Sneak attack! The farther north you go, the more numerous the heavily armored
enemies there will be in villages and convoys (not to mention the final 4 hill
forts). Planning your expansion via sneak attacking will mean the difference
between losing 0-4 troops to 5-12 troops.
-=Base Tips=-
Normally, you would think that placing your base equal distance between the most
targets will help you tackle them all faster. And while there is some merit to
that thinking, it’s actually much better to build along the coast line as you
make your way north. Since soldiers on guard duty tend to roam outside the walls,
its best to place as many guard and patrol posts within the walls as possible.
That, combined with the newly added gate doors and watch towers, will ensure that
everyone stays within the walls and protected, should any convoy happen to come
by. If you build along the coast, you have very little chance of ever having to
deal with passing convoys.
Only have 1 entrance/exit. I’ve seen a few screenshots of bases with multiple
entrances. While it may look pleasing to the eye, you’re asking for trouble if
a raiding party comes. Bottleneck the enemy as much as possible.
-=Misc. Tips=-
Early and mid-game, it’s actually easier to go take farms and way stations by
yourself. If you lure the enemies out of the area, use your bow and javelins,
then slowly pick them off as they turn around to run back home, you can win
single handedly in less than an in-game day. (not to mention, it’s another way
of giving your troops more in-game days of service to allow them to advance).
On top of trying to plan your late game attacks for sneak attacks, ensure that
the sneak attack happens just after a convoy forms and leaves the area. If you
happen to sneak attack a village and a convoy spawns there half way through the
fight, the convoy will essentially get the same sneak bonus that you get, meaning
you’ll lose 40-50 men in the assault (it’s happened to me 3 times, even with a
fully veteran legion, trust me. it ?? blows big time).
Save scum. It might be obvious to a lot of players, but just in case it isn’t;
save scum lol if your attack goes really poorly (please see prior comment about
convoys spawning on you) jus reload the save. its faster to redo your march
across the island in 8 minutes than it is to replenish a large portion of your
forces.
