Hint: Getting weapons, soldiers, resources, or food:
Enable the [Alt] + X code repeatedly until you arrive at a large sum of money. Then, buy a marketplace so that you can buy as much food, weapons or resources desired to get a lot of civilians to become soldiers. Make the bribe to the maximum. Also give them double rations and builds a lot of huts. This brings in many people, and you will soon be able to make as many soldiers as desired.

Hint: Keep bears away:
When bears kill civilians, your popularity decreases. To avoid this, simply build a wood fence around a bear when it appears.

Hint: Keep catapult or trebuchet firing:
When your catapult or trebuchet is out of ammunition and you have no stone in your stockpile it is not necessary to build another one. You can still fire it if you click on the "Launch Cow" button and click a wall or something else. Immediately after the order is issued, click "Stop" and the catapult or trebuchet will fire a rock. Repeat this process to keep firing. You have to have cows remaining to do this.

Hint: Archers fire farther:
During a siege such as "Kill the Rat", set your archers at a location where they are not under attack and are somewhat near the wall. Have them fire at something such as a wall, gate, or tower. Immediately afterwards, click on an enemy or building to fire upon (somewhat close to the area you targeted). If done correctly, your archers should fire upon the new target. This is useful to make your men fire farther and keep them out of harm's way.

Hint: Instant transportation of goods:
Isolate the stockpile, granary, and armory by surrounding them with a wooden fence, or by placing them in a non accessible area (on top of cliffs, etc.). All goods will be transported instantly to each of them. Note: Granary and armory must have at least one open space to each section as a delivery port or they will only fill up once. If the granary can not be isolated, surround farms and bakers with wooden fence for instant transport of food to the granary. If the armory can not be isolated, surround arms buildings with wooden fence for instant transport of weapons to the armory.

Hint: Faster stone transport:
To speed up stone transport, surround one ox with wooden fence. One ox can handle 13 quarries in this manner.

Hint: Extra stone:
Ruins can be used for extra stone.

Hint: Block enemy tunnels:
Enemy tunnelers can not tunnel under caged war dogs or ruins.

Hint: Block mothers and children:
Mothers and children can be confined with a wooden fence to keep them from getting in the way of building.

Hint: Rogue apples:
Leave at least one space between apple farms to produce rogue apple trees. Rogue apple trees are not affected by the witch, so your apple farmers can continue to produce while your apple trees are barren. Rogue apple trees can not be chopped down for removal, but they can be burned for removal by surrounding them with pitch ditches and lighting them on fire.

Hint: Ghost:
A ghost appears when a shrine is built. When two shrines are built, the ghost will go from one to the other.

Hint: Prevent wolf attacks:
Repeat wolf attacks can be averted by placing a building on top of their appearance square. It must be a building that can not be stood upon by your army. If no building can be placed on top of the entry square, surround the entry point with wooden fence.

Hint: Last level:
If you are having trouble completing the last level, the last fight with wolf, because you cannot get past his defense, take about ten archers and kill all of his archers from a distance. It might take a while to do this, but at least you will have more men to fight with. Note: Look out for the long range ballistas. Another way is to kill all archers is from one side, the take the tower and let all of our mace men kill the archers remaining. Note: After killing the second gate house, a fire pit will appear and will kill all men that are there. Another location is around Wolf's keep. Do not send all of your men at once because they will die by fire.

Hint: Map editor:
Use the map editor, whatever size, and select free build. Use invasion making map mode. When you create units and such, you can command them and make them fight. Thus, you can just make a map without the hassle of mining and such for those who just love killing an enemy. You can also pick your enemy color, or maybe be a com color and have some allies. Build your best castle, and see if you can defeat yourself. Beware though, as archers will kill anything nearby. In case you want to come into a castle and have a ton of units attack you, just be the opponent and set them to aggressive.

Hint: Iron ore in map editor:
In Create A Map mode, iron can be placed at the lowest level by making a high plain, cover it with iron ore, then drop the high plain to the lowest level.

Hint: Alternate dialogue:
Change your name to any that starts with the word Megalord. The "Greetings sire" dialogue will be replaced with another one saying "Greetings Megalord".

Between December 1st and December 24th, the "Greetings sire" dialogue will be replaced with one saying the number of shopping days remaining until Christmas.

On December 25th, the "Greetings, sire" dialogue will be replaced by "Merry Christmas, my liege".

Glitch: Battering ram does not get attacked:
Remove the engineers from a battering ram then order it to attack a wall or gate. The battering ram will attack its target, but will not be attacked.
