Feudalism II is a game very similar to Feudalism I. You basically start as a small tribal chiefstan and try to conquer empires. This is sort of a combination of an RPG and a strategy game. At the beginning of the game, you should go on quests to gain money and XP. Your hero is pretty weak to begin with so you have to use your soldiers to fight instead. Hide behind your army and shoot arrows or something, but don’t risk your guy until he is adequately upgraded.

Play this game strategically in conquest mode which means conquering the small, easy villages first before hitting a large target. The more white stars a village has, the harder it is to conquer. Use the forge to constantly refine and upgrade weapons and learn the special moves for your primary weapon. The hero becomes a very important part of the battle later on in the game. Thats about it for strategy. I may have a video posted later.

Imperium is an epic strategy game that is filled with tactics, strategy, and a whole ton of resource management and confusion all wrapped in one package. While probably not the best for a casual gamer that doesn’t play strategy often, it is great for a strategy junky. This game has 24 different kinds of resources which all need to be used to produce units or provide supplies(food, iron, etc), and gold for wages. You must balance them all in order to build your empire and conquer the island. I’ve played this game on medium and have written a strategy.

This game is very complex so I would recommend you start off on easy to get the hang of micro-management of resources, moving resources, and attacking. I suggest you start playing on speed 2 as speed 1 is too slow and anything faster is tough to manage. First off is that you will have to move your resources a lot. No one city can produce all the different kinds of resources. In the city that I start with I could only produce spear soldiers and arrow soldiers. You have to be fast also as the rival empire is also expanding and conquering lands. You need to try to be faster than them. Start off the game by building a house and then a farm. That will give you population and food. Be careful and watch your resource intake/outgo as that is very important. If you run out of a certain resource in your starting city, your kind of screwed. You must build as you go along. Also upgrading buildings is better than buiding new ones as it is more space efficient. If you are running low on a certain resource, build the structure that produces that resource. Do not run out of food, iron, money, or logs in this game on your first city. When you have about 500 troops or so, split them up into 250 arrow and 250 spear and go attack the area below you. You should be able to conquer it with that many troops and start building on that city immediately with a house and a shrimp farm. Note that you cannot produce a barracks in this city(at least in my game), so you will have to import troops over from your first city. Don’t ever leave a city empty as barbarians will come and attack. Before you import, build and upgrade plenty of extra houses in your 2nd city as the soldiers will need lots of space to love. In this second city, you should be able to access horses and elephants(or other resources since your game may be different). Build horse and elephant stables. You can import bows and spears from your first city. Get a group of 250 archers, 250 spear-men, 80 elephants, and 100 horses, and go attack another province. You should be able to take it out. Remember in battles, the more battalions you have, the better as it will force the enemy to spread fire out more allowing troops to live longer. Then repeat the building process until there are no un-occupied spaces left. Make sure to never leave a city empty on troops or it will get taken over by the enemy or barbarians. When you have to fight the other empire, use a province as a super-house province and import all your stuff there and attack with one huge strike. On easy, it shouldn’t be too hard to beat the AI, but on medium, it might take a few tries. If you’ve expanded and built right, you should eventually be able to whittle your enemy down and defeat him. Happy conquests. Feel free to post and comment on your strategies here.
