A few questions from a beginner:
(1) How come the battle numbers are not consecutive? (i.e. I won battle no.
43 (not the exact real number), and the next world to be conquered is
battle no. 49.) Are there any worlds in between them? How do I find
out the names (passwords) of such worlds? Is this skipping of battles
related to my score from the last battle? (I usually won with just over
100,000 points on average.) And are there really 500 worlds?
(2) Once while I was playing, I observed a curious character (a fairy?) that
moved (flied) slowly in a straight line, leaving a row of trees along
its trail (when it was on land). I could not interact with it in any way.
It walked on water. Eventually it reached the edge of the world and
disappeared. Anybody else has seen this? What is it? Is it significant?
Any other similar surprises that you've found in the game?
(3) Finally, I am stuck in battle no. 80. It is an ice world. I start with
two men; the computer with four. I cannot overcome this handicap. I tried
to build as much castle as I could (is this a good strategy?), and the
computer did the same (and with more men to spare). I almost keep up with
it until, inevitably, it had enough magna(sp) to create a knight (I didn't
have enough magna). And it's all downhill from then on. (It made more
and more knights and ...) Could someone offer some strategic help?

A guy I know wrote a program using that so you could get the name of a world by specifying its number. > >Steven --- -Erik Lundevall EMail: ludde@adder.bula.se | ludde@nada.kth.se

I would like to try my hand at one of the later worlds. I have only played a couple of times and have only got to the second world, I don't want to go thru say 20 worlds in order to try my inexperienced hand at a harder world. (Call it stupid or whatever you like but that is what they are teaching me at college!!!!!!!). Thanx, David Hopkins hoppi@vax1.udel.edu

Can somebody tell me what is the best way to built up your leader? Is it to have walkers go to leader? Also what is the best way to build castles?
