The game guide doesn't work. So I suppose I'll ask Beatles.

It doesn't? Works for me. Here is the section on industry managment.

Industry Settings
The percentage of each type of unit your blacksmiths put effort into.

Troops are produced according to the formula:
(Barracks) * (Troop_type_percentage) * (Multipler)

Multipliers: Mice = 1.2 Squirrels = 0.6 Hares = 0.3 Otters = 0.2

And in battle, the strengths are:

T/A/D
Mouse/2/2
Squirrel/3/5
Hare/5/4
Otter/7/6

But... there is a catch.

Mice die quickly. Squirrels and hares eat/spend too much.

Otters, for some reason, actually work best.

I'd send you some, but aid is broken. Someone remind the admins to fix that.

Anyhow, use mice for quick runs, otters for long-term military power, hares for most agressive strategies, and squirrels to be unpredictable.
Back. I think.

Thanks. I'm currently massing hares, they seem to work. Heh. At Ragnarok, we have way smaller gains. An army of 200k is a hard achieved goal… Here I guess it's pretty normal.

It only takes somewhere between 500k and 1mil to hit all of CORIM. There's a way to get that much, even on 2k land.

Yeah, your right. That was fun! I just revenged myself against those Corim folk on Battle for Redwall. Quite fun.

Heh. But hit the ones without troops defending. I can't espy LP or Fireheart for you, but notice how they can't defend. Learn to use land, and then lose it without damaging your empire. I'm guessing you can break most of CORIM. You just need a way to make retals painless.

Why do you want to attack me anyway? And what do you mean I can't defend?

*laughs* If you think my defence weak... Think again... Also if you happen to mass and puncture me I will most likely kill you the next day... Or if I can't... Well I'm not a nice person to get on your bad side... Or if you use hawks... Well you'd need to be almost all hawks to break me...

It's standard strategy at RWL. Hitting, and getting hit, and having resources stored. Besides, I meant myself, I had very few defences at the time. But, now, I've learned to keep a few mil unhidden. I figured CORIM already knew about resource massing.

Yeah, I tend to mass a large army with very little food and only a little more money... Then I begin to mass as much money as I can and put it in the stock market...
