When you first create you mage, I suggest you do the following things (in order). When you run out of turns, stop and resume where you left off when you have adequate turns. Asterisks mean look at the notes on the bottom of the page.

• Click a banner
  
• Go to status report on you main menu and check if Lady Luck is with you. (If not click another banner and check again. Proceed when Lady Luck is with you.)
  
• Explore for 30-35 turns*
  
• Build your workshops up to 500
  
• Build 150 farms
  
• Build 16 towns
  
• Build up your fortresses so they number about 15
  
• Built 100 Node
  
• Build 100-150 Barracks**
  
• Build up your guilds so they number 500-1000 (Important for researching spells)
  
• Begin researching spells (Give your magic specialty priority)
  
• Begin recruiting troops. (When your army is at full strength, it should number 60,000-80,000.***)
  
• Begin attacking other mages at your convinience
  

This concludes my beginners strategy guide. You should remember to build builings as they are needed throughout the game. If you start to lose money and people you may want to build more towns and farms. Email me if you have a specific question.

* NOTE: While you are building you may run out of space and have to explore more.

** NOTE: Continue to build barracks throughout the game so you can recruit larger quantities of units at a time.

*** NOTE: This does not mean recuit weak units that recruit quickly. Your army should consist of your more powerful units.
