It just hit me that so far no one has posted an FAQ so I'm starting one if anyone would like me to include anything leave a topic and you screen name and I'll include it in the FAQ peace out... ou yeah between math/french and history class it may take a while but i'll do my best to make it relatively quick

definately include race benefits and detriments.

also the recommended units and tactics for each race.


if you dont know this stuff then its not too hard to find. just Wiki it or google it or something and youll find it all.

good luck mate

Races?

This is madness! No....this is Fantasy : Total War!

Alright that should work as long as I don't shit myself.

well you call them races in real life, so why not the game?

or call them factions then if you want. but to me that has always made it sound like they are one big nation divided into factions or guilds or some crap. it doesnt sound as realistic.

ok well this what i'm including so far feel free to ask me to add to the list but tentatively this is whats going in the FAQ
-islamic factions versus christian
-battle strategies for different races
-info on the basics of each unit type (infantry,cavalry,etc)
-rough walkthroughs for each race
-towns vs castles
-Crusades and jihads
- and bunch more that I don't care to put in the one post but again please keep suggestions coming and remember this is for people that are new to the game but for more veteran players there will be a section for your input

**thanks for the encouragement bogan king

no problem. just make sure if you are going to start it that you keep a solid effort up the whole way. dont rush it just to get it finished.

include a section about managing towns/castles. and something about the detrimental effect that brothels have on your generals. it took me a long time to figure that one out.

a bit about the guilds maybe.

the mongol and timurid invasions.

the new world.

seiges/defending a seige.

Well I don't consider the French a different race, or the Russians, but whatever, stick to your own teminology.

brothels have anegative effect on generals? I never knew but hey thats why I askedfor input and admitedly a little bit of help:o

Yup it does.

It gives the Drunkard line of traits, one of which can put a -5 to Command.

cool thats going in the FAQ and of course you'll be given credit and lordgoof will get credit to for bringing it up

another thing to include is princesses and marriage.

and trade if no one has mentioend it. mainly the importance of trade rights with other factions.

Trading is the key to victory in this, it's the only way you can really make a large amount of profit which is needed to fund construction and armies etc.

and one more thing i'm gonna hace to know how do you increase your kings authority?

Not exactly sure aboots that, I've been wondering myself but I read somewhere that using him in a lot of battles gives him authority, but I suspect it'd be because he'd have the Scars line of traits, which gives an Authority boost on about the 2nd or 3rd one.
