1-Firstly if you are a beginner go onto a big map but only have 1 enemy, as you will be further away from them
2-Then pick human then click on start game, but make sure the other person is an enemy and isn't undead.
3-Start off by getting 4 of your peasants to mine some gold and 1 to gather lumber and the other to build a barracks.
4-then train 3 more peasants (2 more for gold,1 more for lumber and the other to help building stuff.
5-While they are waiting to be ready for work the first one that comes out is the new builder and get him to build a farm which increase your food that lets you create more units and if the other builders finished with the barracks get him to help with the farms and build about 4 of them.
6-while all this peasant stuff is happening click on your barracks and keep clicking on footman until you cant make anymore footman.
7-Repeat 6 about three or four times and get them to guard any entrances the enemy can come through.
8-Build a blacksmith to be able to make riflemen.
9-Make a group of guys made up of 6 riflemen and 12 footmen (NOTE:dont put guards in the squad and dont get them to guard your area)they will be your raiding squad.
10-Search around the map for the enemy with your raiding squad but make sure that you dont get seen if you do, do this quickly:click on the attack command and then click in the middle of their base and they will do all the work.
11-I forgot to mention that you should build watch towers at the entrances of your base too.
12-Repeat the squad thing until you win.
