    Default Gameplay questions round up!

    Hi All,

    Have been playing M2TW a while and am wondering if there are any gameplay tips am missing:

    1, Is it possible to create or appoint generals/governors other then through coming of age, man of the hour and adoption?

    2, Cavalry - the alternative attack, i.e. lance or spear, is always through right click and 'Alt'?

    3, Waypoints for moving units is 'shift' plus right mouse click?

    Any small practical gameplay hints people could offer?

    Cheers

    1: Yes, recruit them from a Baron's Stable (or something like that
    2: Dunno. Will test that. I thought Alt Attack meant melee attack for misile units
    3: Just shift and having the unit selected.
    and on what do you want hints? Battle or Campaign? Governing or army balance?

    Thanks for the recruiting tip. Will investigate. I seem to be perenially short of Generals and Governors!

    Am looking for gameplay - as opposed to strategy and tactics (am quite good at them - I think) hints
    to improve the experience.

    Be noble. Makes the game a lot harder. Don't cheat or exploit.

    1. You can Bribe rebel or AI generals with diplomat. Recruit from Baron's Stables or marry a general with your princess.

    2. Yes if your cavalry use a ranged attack you'll need to hold alt and use right click to charge.

    3. Yes

    Role play or read up on the kingdom history of the faction your playing. Recreating the roman empire playing as the byzantine's is quite popular

    Migrating campaigns are also fun. I.e play as England put all of your forces onto ships , call a crusade in egypt then move your entire faction there and either sell or destroy your original settlements. Then convert the holy lands and make it your new home. Then slowly fight your way through europe and retake the british isles

    Migrating to Italy as a muslim faction and conquering rome as your new capital and home land is also fun. Very difficult though i have never been able to survive very long but i think its possible if you can deal with genoa,sicily and venice quick enough to secure a position.

    Conquering 3-4 settlements inbetween france and germany and then gifting them to the pope can be very fun if its an aggresive pope he kicks ass and steam rolls everyone in europe.

    Alt+Attack enables secondary weapons, regardless of your units type.

    Confirmed. If the unit is cavalry, they will pull out their swords. If it is an archer unit, they'll pull out their knife/sword. If the unit has no secondary weapon, it will use its primary one.

    If you want to charge with horsearchers you will have to use alt + right, unless they're out of ammo.
    Ring Poem in Italian:
    Tre Anelli ai Re degli Elfi sotto il cielo che risplende,
    Sette ai Principi dei Nani nelle lor rocche di pietra,
    Nove agli Uomini Mortali che la triste morte attende,
    Uno per l'Oscuro Sire chiuso nella reggia tetra,
    Nella Terra di Mordor, dove l'Ombra nera scende.
    Un Anello per domarli, un Anello per trovarli,
    Un Anello per ghermirli e nel buio incatenarli.
    Nella Terra di Mordor, dove l'Ombra cupa scende.

    alt means alt weapon, so in the case of a cav, they will drop the lance and use swords in their charge,

    not necesarily wrong. obviously it would be better to use the lance if you had a chance to form a good cav line first.

    if you cant form a line, a sword charge would be better, (more likely anyway)
