Starting the Game

Having trouble getting started? Here's what I recommend:

Step One: Choosing a Class

You must decide which class you prefer. This will result in the recruitment of a hero of the same class. Each class in Eador: Masters of the Broken World will have it's benefits and drawbacks. They will be discussed in another post.

Step Two: Soldier Up

You need to get your heroes to recruit soldiers. No matter how powerful they become, your soldier will never be able to do it all on his own. So go get him some backup.

Step Three: Castle-mania

Get to know your castle. You want to construct the appropriate buildings in order to make it as efficient as possible. Which buildings should you construct? I'm going to cover that in at least one other post, as that's going to be a hugely complex topic.

Step Four: Stay Local

Here's something most people don't know: the provinces directly adjacent to the castle are the easiest to take over -- either using diplomacy or warfare. Then the provinces touching those are the next easiest and so on spiraling outward.

Step Five: Assume Your Hero is a Liar

Heroes are notorious for being all, "Yeah, we'll roll right over them." and then losing 90% of their army. Always look at the number of enemies and see if it's something you can handle. Assume three enemies is a solid victory and five enemies is something you should put on the back burner.

Step Six: Keep Reading

In this blog, I'm going to cover a lot of advanced strategy. Keep checking back from time to time to see what else I've learned about the game that may make your strategy more efficient and successful.
