Tips & Suggestions

Your Crossbows don't have Bodkin Arrow. Get blacksmith upgrades to keep your archers effective.

You reached Imperial Age without Hand Cart. This significantly slows your economy.

You reached Imperial but never used your unique unit (Organ Gun). Organ Guns shred infantry with multiple shots.
