    Could you make a version for RC/RR, Sir Walter?

    Wow, been a long time. Is this guide still relevant? (It was written for 6.2 RR/RC)

    It is much harder to use spies to incite rebellion in 6.4- just noticed you recommend never to bring ballista...early in game when many walls are wooden and ballista is likely the only siege you will have they can break through but ballista are totally useless on stone walls but on wood they work. Also having a single ballista can sometimes make the AI charge your defensive position if you outrange all of its missile units. Not always- if you are too strong the AI will sit and take the bolts but either way it should reduce your own losses.

    You can also recommend playing battles with no time limit if people want more tactical challenges. I've been doing that several campaigns and never had a single problem. It makes the AI much less aggressive and you actually have to move to attack it rather than waiting in defensive spot- which is why sometimes ballista is nice!

    Everything else seems about the same- could perhaps do a more detailed breakdown of faction strengths and what nearby strong mercenaries each has.
