"When in a battle, if you position cavalry units so they're facing perpendicular to the direction of the enemy, when the enemy charge order those cavalry to attack them at the last second. The leader will circle round and your cavalry unit will surround most of the enemy group" - Crusader

"Instead of sending one assasin in at a time here and there, build an entire army in peacetime, preferably in a province devoted to the task with an upgraded tavern to give them extra stars of skill. Then before a large battle send them all in at the highest ranking general (usually a prince)and watch as your several assasins witht their 10% chances of success finally beat the odds and one of them kill the general in question. At 100 bucks a pop, the effect of robbing an enemy army of its morale and skilled general (for the auto battle where his number of stars are compared to that of your best attacking general) is made without the extra 100s of expensive soldiers of yours who would have fallen to defeat the same general." - Sir Reveller

"When attacking or defending place archers and siege weapons on high terrain to get that extra distance. When the cpu attacks your position you will cut him down way before his own archers get in range. Also, use your generals smartly dont put your 6 star general under your 2 star king unless your general is very, very unloyal. Put generals in your armies in order, powerful generals should have lesser subordinates just in case your general falls his captains and majors can take full command. Just dont let your general fall." - Sun_Tzu
