Very important:
When you have your game turn open and are looking at it, along the top there are several headings: Game, Headquarters, Map, Messages, HQ Plans, Turn Number, ?, and Main Plans.
If you click on 'Main Plans' it will show you a synopsis of all the orders you have issued that turn. At the very bottom it should say: Possible problems - none. If you see no problems there, then you have done everything correctly and all your orders will be carried out. If there are problems listed, then you did something incorrectly and part (or all) of your orders are invalid and will not be carried out. Then you'll have to figure out what the offending orders were and correct them.

Is anyone else having any difficulties, or is not exactly sure what they're supposed to be doing? I'm referring only to the people who are already in the game at this point.

I know you said your PC was older, but I am sure it is not so old it cannot handle the graphics of the game - I am a computer geek by profession and would be happy to help you troubleshoot the issue.

That, coupled with the inexplicable difficulty in dealing with the administrators at agegames.com, has made me abundantly sorry I ever brought this whole thing up in the first place.

But it may turn out well in the end. Keep your fingers crossed and think good thoughts.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungThey're the last in the line but will become involved. I think the trick is to use your more expendable/cheap troops up front. I'm not sure whether it's better to put infantry up front, cavalry second and archers third - or whether to put archers second. I suspect the latter.
Question: what is the Reserve rank? Is it simply a 5th rank, or is there some rule that says units in Reserve won't fight until the first rank is dead or something like that?
