Please, see picture near. Fulled people are the people that do not work. Of course village lose resources, but remember that more people do not work faster people grow.

It is usefull to have at least one do not worked people. So in conquered village it is usefull does not put people to work at all and so village will grow very fast and soon it will be possible to increase production in such village to very high level. Better moral also increase people growing.

Upgrade production in your villages according your global strategy. For example for using archers with pikeman you need much wood, for big attaking armies with infantry you need iron and food.

Troops Dislocation:

- Put more powerfull units to the flanks as on the picture near.

- Remember that though infantry is stronger unit than pikeman but in using with archers pikemen are better.

- Elite is good unit but it cost much resources.

- Cavalry are good only again infantry.

- Do not use archers without another units.

- New unit hired in village with better moral will be more experienced

Global Strategy:

- Try conquer weak enemy village first. You can detect what village is weak if it attacks your village with weak army.

- Try conquer enemy village anyway even if you can not defence it. After enemy reconquer it production in such village will be at minimum and such village will be not dangerous for long time.

- Defence your main village with your best army.

- Do not lose time. Find right moment to begin conquering villages.

- Remember that game has no easy levels
