This guide is currently a work in progress that will go on to cover all aspects of Ancient Empires in great detail. For now it concentrates on the different battle mechanics. I have done this because a lot of people seem to be confused by the way the combat in AE works, as it is different to vanilla and showcases a much more authentic immersion into Ancient Warfare and relies more on positioning, reserves and fatigue conservation than is normally present in battle mods. To make the transition easier I have added some tips on how to play AE and why the battles act in the way that they do, explaining all the intricate mechanics that I have put into it over the years.

I will later go on to expand into the campaign mechanics to explain those even more confusing and new aspects that are also entirely different than anything in Attila so far.
I hope this helps those who are struggling to understand how and why AE works the way it does.
