{England_Initial_1_Advice_Text_01_Text1}Greetings, Milord. I am your advisor, Lady Gwendolyn. I will guide you on managing and expanding the noble kingdom of England. You are currently looking at your capital city, London, on the campaign map.

{England_Initial_1_Advice_Text_01_Title}English Campaign

{England_Initial_5_Advice_Text_01_Text1}To expand the kingdom of England, you should first look to conquer the British Isles. You must also contend with the Scots to the north and the French to the south. The nearby rebel town of York will make an ideal first target.

{England_Initial_5_Advice_Text_01_Title}Where to Start

{Enrage_The_Enemy_Text_01_Text1}Provoke a defending enemy into unwise attacks by stinging them with missile attacks. Skirmishers are a good troop type to provoke this response.

{Enrage_The_Enemy_Text_01_Title}Enrage the Enemy 

{Enticing_The_Enemy_Text_01_Text1}Hiding stronger units to the rear may entice the enemy into a rash attack. They can then be brought up quickly to the enemy's weakest point.

{Enticing_The_Enemy_Text_01_Title}Enticing the Enemy 

{Exploding_Shell_Special_Text_01_Text1}Your cannons not only fire solid stone balls - they can also fire exploding shots!  Exploding shots are less accurate than normal shots and unable to skip, but they explode upon impact and cause a blast that can slay many enemies!

{Exploding_Shell_Special_Text_01_Title}Fire Explosive Shells!

{Facing_A_Shield_Wall_Text_01_Text1}The enemy have at least one unit that can use the Shield Wall special ability. This ability locks a unit's shields and spears together and presents a wall of steel! This is very effective against frontal attacks, so try to pin such a unit down and then work around to attack its flanks or rear.

{Facing_A_Shield_Wall_Text_01_Title}Facing A Shield Wall

{Facing_Archers_Text_01_Text1}Standing under missile fire is never a good idea - but if you must, keep your troops in loose formation, stationary, and facing the missile fire. Left-click on Show Me How to see how to change formation.

{Facing_Cavalry_With_Infantry_Text_01_Text1}If your infantry are about to be charged by cavalry, make sure they are stationary. That way they can brace themselves against the impact, and will take fewer losses. Left-click the Show Me How button to zoom to your unit.

{Facing_Cavalry_With_Infantry_Text_01_Title}Facing Cavalry With Infantry

{Facing_Elephants_Text_01_Text1}You are facing a charge by elephants. Put your heavy infantry into loose formation. You can't stop the charge, but by spreading your units out you can reduce casualties.

{Facing_Elephants_Text_01_Title}Facing Elephants

{Facing_Missile_Cavalry_Text_01_Text1}Chasing after cavalry archers and javelinmen is generally fruitless, and therefore only worth doing if you can drive them off the map, or trap them against terrain. The best way to deal with them is to shoot back at them with your own missile troops. Keep your other infantry stationary, so they can hide behind their shields.

{Facing_Missile_Cavalry_Text_01_Title}Facing Missile Cavalry

{Facing_Missile_Infantry_Text_01_Text1}The best way to clear away enemy missile infantry is a direct cavalry charge. However, be wary of them retreating to terrain that is difficult for your cavalry to manage, or where there are friendly units that could threaten you.

{Facing_Missile_Infantry_Text_01_Title}Facing Missile Infantry

{Facing_Swimmers_Text_01_Text1}At least one unit in the enemy army can swim and thus bypass the crossing point. The enemy may try to surprise your force defending the crossing point by flanking it!

{Fatigue_6_Text_01_Text1}The enemy are not used to the heat, and will tire quicker than usual. A bit of skirmishing before the main clash should help them work up a sweat.

{Fatigue_6_Text_01_Title}Fatigue

{Flanking_With_Cavalry_1_Text_01_Text1}Cavalry troops make an excellent flanking force. They can move fast around the edge of the enemy formation and strike the sides or rear. But beware: a clever opponent will be ready for this.  

{Flanking_With_Cavalry_1_Text_01_Title}Outflanking With Cavalry 

{Flanking_With_Cavalry_2_Text_01_Text1}If an attempted flanking manoeuvre of yours is thwarted, you can still leave your men nearby to keep sections of the enemy army fixated on them.  This can open up gaps on the enemies flanks.

{Flanking_With_Cavalry_2_Text_01_Title}Outflanking With Cavalry 

{Flanking_With_Cavalry_And_Infantry_Text_01_Text1}A flanking force of cavalry can be a serious threat to the enemy, but a mixed force of cavalry and infantry, although slower, is far more dangerous. The infantry can engage enemy spearmen, leaving the cavalry free to attack.

{Gunpowder_Causes_Fear_Text_01_Text1}The flash and thunder of gunpowder weapons causes fear in your enemies! Targeting the same enemy unit with multiple units of gunners, will increase the chance they will run away in terror!

{Gunpowder_Causes_Fear_Text_01_Title}Gun Powder Weapons

{Gunpowder_Deploy_in_Blocks_Text_01_Text1}Your gunpowder troops cause fear. When you have multiple firearm-equipped units, concentrate their fire on a single enemy unit. This increases the chance of that unit breaking and fleeing.

{Gunpowder_Deploy_in_Blocks_Text_01_Title}Fire The Guns!

{Gunpowder_Infantry_Dont_Block_Text_01_Text1}Unlike archers, your hand gunners, arquebusiers and musketeers cannot fire over the heads of their own men. Do not place troops between your gunners and their intended targets.

{HRE_Initial_1_Advice_Text_01_Title}Imperial Campaign

{HRE_Initial_5_Advice_Text_01_Text1}Although the Holy Roman Empire is strong, it is surrounded by enemies. You will need to contend with the French to the west, the Italians to the south, the Danes to the north and the Poles to the east. You should first strengthen your position by conquering the rebels to the north-east. The nearby Rebel town of Prague will make an ideal first target.

{Heavy_Cavalry_and_Pikes_Text_01_Text1}Cavalry pay dearly when attacking spear formations, but are punished even more when attacking ready pikemen. When fighting pikemen, use the same kind of tactics you would against spearmen - pin them with infantry then charge them from the flank or rear.

{Offer_Bait_Text_01_Text1}Sometimes it is worth trying to bait the enemy into breaking formation.

{Pike_And_Shot_Text_01_Title}Pike and Shot

{Pikemen_1_Thread_Text1}Pike units are great at receiving frontal charges when they are stationary and set in a 'Spearwall' formation.  They do have weaknesses though.  If charged from the flank or rear they present little defence and will quickly be defeated.

{Pikemen_1_Thread_Title}Pikemen

{Pikemen_2_Thread_Text1}Pike units behave differently with various combinations of their special ability 'Spearwall' and the use of the guard stance.  The best defensive combination is forming into a 'Spearwall' and being in guard mode while stationary. This allows the pike unit to present a wall of pikes to attacking foes. The best offensive combination is being in 'Spearwall' and not being in guard mode, then attacking an enemy.  This means the pikemen will aggressively lower their pikes and march them into the enemy stabbing and thrusting with multiple ranks.

{Pikemen_2_Thread_Title}Pikemen

{Pikemen_Form_Block_Defense_Text_01_Text1}When you field a large amount of pikemen, you have a couple of options.

{Use_Artillery_To_Kill_Missile_Units_On_Walls_Text_01_Title}Using Artillery

{Use_Artillery_To_Kill_Non_Missile_Units_On_Walls_Text_01_Text1}Your enemy has placed troops on the top of his walls to ward against an assault by your Siege Ladders and Towers. You can help your troops by attacking these enemy warriors with your artillery. Go on, wipe them off the wall.

{Use_Artillery_To_Kill_Non_Missile_Units_On_Walls_Text_01_Title}Using Artillery

{Use_Flaming_Ammo_Text_01_Text1}The enemy's morale is low, try shooting at them with flaming ammunition. This weakens their morale further, and could cause them to run in terror. The explosion caused can kill more than a normal rock would. The downside is that aiming accurately is much harder, and reload times are increased.

{Use_Your_Archers_Against_Artillery_Text_01_Title}Use Your Archers

{Using_A_Shield_Wall_Text_01_Text1}We have at least one unit that can use the Shield Wall special ability. This ability locks a unit's shields and spears together and means the enemy faces a wall of steel! This is very effective against frontal attacks, but is only truly effective when several units can be lined up together so that flanking moves are difficult to execute.

{Using_A_Shield_Wall_Text_01_Title}Using A Shield Wall

{Using_Elephants_Text_01_Text1}The charge of your elephants is irresistible, but the noise of battle and the pain of inflicted wounds may cause them to panic and run amok.

{Using_Elephants_Text_01_Title}Using Elephants

{Using_Javelinmen_Text_01_Text1}Often the best way to use javelin-armed units is to place them behind your battle line, and have them shower the enemy with javelins once engaged. This works whether attacking or defending, but be careful, as your own troops may get hit too.

{Using_Javelinmen_Text_01_Title}Using Javelins

{Using_Missile_Cavalry_Text_01_Text1}Often the best tactic is to try and circle around the sides of the enemy and shoot them from behind, or from the right flank, so they do not have the protection of their shields. If the enemy turn or chase you off, their formation will be disrupted and their men will tire considerably.

{Using_Missile_Cavalry_Text_01_Title}Using Missile Cavalry

{Using_Mortars_Text_01_Text1}Mortars, unlike other siege weapons, can be fired safely behind your own troops. Mortars arc their shots high into the air to fall upon the heads of our enemies. Mortars are not the most accurate of weapons, so once your troops are close to the enemies it would be best to find another target.

{Using_Mortars_Text_01_Title}Using Mortars
