3. WarBringer playing style.

This kind of playing is main for the lulz. You would not go so far since the honor cost of each attack will hinderance your ranking process.

Pros: Insanely fun. You could act as mercenary for hire. But careful, you will lots of enemies. Without a cunning diplomat ability like Elvisz ( Dread leader). Your towns would turn to ashes in matter of days.
Cons: I recommended you not playing as raider if u could not take rage messages. For me personally, i always felt the enjoyment of ppl sent message to me whining about burning their town.

* High : MUST research as soon as it available.
Pillages – It give you all the resources you need.
Command – a group of 500 peasants is major a threat for any med – sized castle.
Force March – Hit them with a speed of light and left our foes no time to prepare.
* Med : Very effective , need to research after important ones.
Castlation – Every good offense came with a good defense.
Fortification – You probably don’t wanna get your ville captured / razed.
Liturature – You need high popularity to generate population quickly for troops.
* Low : After researches that support your playing style.
Decorations – with a low pop you could generate honor effectively to fund your attacks.
Trade – Extra gold to recruit peasants doesn’t hurt anyone.

Tips:
– Keep your pop apporximate 20 is good. it provide you a certain amount of troops and they don’t eat so much. – Big village doesn’t meant they r well defended, but i am sure they have plenty of cash. – Your main force will be peasants cause they r cheap to replace.4. Militariant Researches ( for all playing style).

* High : MUST research as soon as it available.
Castlation is extremely important. It’s fire power at lvl 10 upgraded could be compare to around 15 archers. The Castle fire range is the white square itself.
Force March helped your troops to move faster. It not only enable you to get the AI lairs first but reduced traveling time left your foes no time to prepare.
* Med : Very effective , need to research after important ones.
Fortification allowed you to construct tougher defense line. But it consumed so much RPs that you could spend on somewhere else more effectively.
archer HP upgrade is common sense. If you don’t get why we have to get it HP from 100% -200%. Just wait and u will find out with your troops.
* Low : After researches that support your playing style.
Monk tech upgrade to prevent attacks on your village shouldn’t be on your top prior list. Unless you r a monker player. It just provide you a few extra hours and break enemies constant attack.
