A few comments by Maerlande:

Setting up
  1. In create game, mention using the same level of independents as the MP game. Usually 5.
  2. Maybe explain 6 PD. But for SP testing I use 11 if I can afford it.
  3. For pretender mention that high resource or rec point units may need specific scales to work.
  4. Good comment on disciples games and making both Pretender and disciple.
Common Mistakes
  1. Nice use of the sidebar. Good trick
  2. For commanders consider a couple bodyguards for fragile commanders. Something slow and tough melee.
  3. Watch range of spells like bless closely. 10 squares. You can count squares using arrow keys to move a formation.
  4. For blessing with H1 consider hold attack.
Choosing
  1. Consider bait squads of junk like markata or weak bats :) You know :)
  2. Blatant weaknesses on important troops like Yavana with zero protection and crappy shields. But awe and hit hard.
  3. The section on sacreds will need more development. How do you evaluate them?
Common Independents

My quick list:

  1. Barbarians
  2. Lizards and shamen
  3. Bone tribe
  4. Poison in water
  5. Dual dagger tribes (land and water)
  6. Blowpipes
  7. Heavy cavalry
  8. Crossbows
Scripting

Big section and will take a lot of work.

Advanced Tips

=Flyers=

I'm sure you have lots of hints for this.

=Tramplers=

  1. I often use very slow heavy infantry with your best morale in the elephant squads. That way they stay way behind.
  2. Be sure to put commanders out of the retreat path of elephants. Top or bottom corner. Or if elephants on flank then middle.

=Thug=

I'd put in a couple examples. There are not very many thugs that work early.

New section: Monster expansion

haha

I better help with the Kailas example :) I better gitgud with it first :)
