| What we will cover here are some very fundamental concepts to begin with, while moving into more detailed concepts with various different sort of explanations for each concept. I will create some videos showing off several of the concepts, which I will link here. Pictures will have to do for some concepts. | What we will cover here are some very fundamental concepts to begin with, while moving into more detailed concepts with various different sort of explanations for each concept.

| + | __**Kingdom Management**__ : This is where I will talk about a way of thinking that hopefully helps with controlling your nation and making the correct decisions in order to win the game. It can be applied in general to any nation but throughout the guide I will refer to the concepts defined in this section and how you can apply them for a more successful game. Knowing how to manage your kingdom is the most important thing in this game, because it is the way you win. | ||
| - | __**Pretender Design**__ : I will review what I consider some of the best pretender designs. Explain in detail why I choose those pretenders and hopefully convince you that they can be worthwhile choices. This will not include too much detail when it comes to the execution of strats | + | ---- |

| __**Early Expansion**__ : In this section I will cover what expansions I find to be the best. I will not go into every single kind of expansion but will instead talk exclusively about non-awake expansions. Awake expanders simply make expanding trivial and should therefore not be included in a detailed overview of various expansion options(in my opinion). | __**Early Expansion**__ : In this section I will cover what expansions I find to be the best.

| - | __**Macro**__ : This is how I look at your kingdom management. This is overall coordinated army creations, thinking ahead a few turns and having items ready when a thug pops out, thoughts behind site searching, when to stop and when to start recruitments and how much recruitment you have to do. Research economy, gem economy, gold economy, trading, diplomacy... | + | |
| - | ---- | + | These are very important |
| - | __**Micro**__ : This is how I look at the execution of your overall strategy. How you script your mages, how you position your armies, how you move your armies, etc... This is by far the most complex aspect and there is no way of writing a definitive guide on how to do this correctly. All I can do is share my thoughts, to help you as a player maybe add said ideas to your set of skills. **NEED TO REVIEW THIS HEAVILY AND ACTUALLY DEFINE MICRO** | + | |

| The reasoning behind the bless is mostly mage related. It prevents mass aoe spells from killing your mages and communion slaves to a large degree. Will make you immune to several spells such as fire storm, fv(assuming you either go 10-15 pr or cast resist poison with N1 mages), most of the cloud spells, and reducing the effectiveness of air elementals vs your mages. The penetration can be replaced with far caster depending on preference. Unaging can also be removed for higher poison resist and some hp to regen 2 hp on communion slaves instead of 1. | The reasoning behind the bless is mostly mage related.

| Very interesting approach in that you can get into relatively good blood. It does sacrifice some aspects but does open up high blood by itself. If you are fine with slowly gathering blood slaves over the course of the game this pretender can break you into heliophagi, vampires, arch devils, and demon lords. | Very interesting approach in that you can get into relatively good blood.
