Troubleshooting
Dice rolls consistently seem unfavorable.
Remember that Tactic cards can be used to mitigate bad rolls or enhance good ones. Focus on strategic deployment and using card effects wisely, rather than relying solely on dice outcomes.
Players are unsure how to form reinforcement chains.
Refer to the rulebook for a clear explanation of reinforcement chains. Typically, capturing a castle adjacent to an already controlled region can trigger additional actions or troop placements.
Difficulty deciding where to deploy soldiers.
Prioritize castles that offer strategic advantages or are crucial for controlling larger regions. Consider your opponents' positions and potential moves before committing your forces.
Running out of soldiers too quickly.
Deploy soldiers judiciously. Focus on securing key objectives rather than spreading forces too thin. Look for opportunities to gain reinforcements through game mechanics.
