A few tips to help you achieve VICTORY!
Learn which units are most effective in which terrain and which should attempt to avoid certain terrain. For example, Light Infantry and Elves should try to stick to Forests, Dwarves in Hills, Cavalry in the Plains, and try to avoid getting caught in a River or Swamp hex when enemy are nearby. Never send Cavalry into Forest terrain as not only do they lose their Charge attack but they are vulnerable.
Keep your Archers and Crossbowman adjacent to and behind your front line troops. If an enemy attacks your front-line with a melee attack your ranged attackers get a free shot! They only get one free shot per turn unless you have a special perk that allows multiple.
Be patient when seiging cities surrounded by rivers. Sometimes (depending on their pre-defined "role") the enemy will abandon his defensive position and charge into the river to get to you!
