Bonus peasants
You can get lots of extra peasants (more than the limit of 24) by doing the
following. Put your Quarries and Oxen to sleep. Now there will be that many more
available when buying Swordsman etc. Just wake them up when you are done.
This is useful if you don't want to wait until for your Peasants to fill up the
campfire, or you just need them right away.

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

No resources tip:
If you can't get food and wood and resources, you should keep the population
down to make food last longer and make taxes and buy food and stuff at markets.

Battle tips!:
Ok if you are loaded with Gold and can use alot then you should make a army of
one unit. Like horse arches witch can be very deadly since they can move and
shoot and avoid most attacks. And should consider making arab arches instead of
reguler arches because they are faster and do about the same damage.

Find enemy killing pits:
Select an engineer and press the build button. Then press on something to build
but don't place it anywhere. Just move it around the floor and occasionally it will
go red though there is nothing to stop it. There will be a red square some on the
floor of where you want to place the tent and that will show you where the killing
pits are.

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.

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.

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.

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".

Free construction:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file
before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "game_data.txt" file in the game
folder. Change all the numbers to "0".

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.
