Cheat mode (alternate):
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor
to edit the "preferences.txt" file in the game folder. For unlimited ammunition, change the value of the "LIMITED_AMMO:"
line from "TRUE" to "FALSE". You can do the same for for morale, fatigue, fog of war, etc. values. Note:
You must start a new campaign for the changes to take effect.

Hint: Stand off:
When you are outnumbered, have low forces, and know that you will lose, get a good stand off position by gathering all
of your remaining forces, and go to a hill or the highest position if possible. If that is unavailable, go into the forests.
Then, gather your forces and put all archers in the very back, all medium to close ranged missile weapons in middle, and all
of your spearmen in the front with the legionnaires, swordsmen, etc. just behind. If you have elephants or horses, put them
javelins. Then, with the spearmen formation, you can either wait for the enemy to hit the spearmen then charge with horses.
However it would be better to horse charge them when they are in archer or javelin range, then keep bombarding them. Next,
use all of your swordsmen to attack after the enemy hits the spearmen. Then, use all of your forces to charge, except for
the archers. Move them away from the fight and keep bombarding. This is also a good choke point defensive maneuver.

Hint: Defend your settlement:
Use the following tactic to fight an outnumbered foe at your settlement. If you know that you cannot defend your walls
because there is too much ground to cover and you forces will be to thin to stop them, then follow this strategy. Put all
your armies in the central plaza of the city. According to their location, put your light infantry blocking the path of where
they would go after the walls break through. Remember that you want to make a small chokepoint so that they can fight only
one way and not surround you. Then, put your heavy infantry behind the light infantry and put your cavalry on the flanks so
that you can attack them at the sides. When they attack and are charging at you infantry, order all the infantry (including
heavy infantry) to charge. Then, have your cavalry cut the enemy's retreat and attack their flanks. If this is successful,
their front and rear will be attacked, allowing you to crush them. Note: This cannot be done against human players.

Hint: Taking a settlement:
Note: This only works when you attack, and when the enemy has a wooden palisade or walls. When you want to take a settlement
and you are totally outnumbered, get two gate rams. When you are deploying, take half of ypur troops and move them over to
one gate. Leave your general with the first group. The enemy should send only horses to the second group. Bring good soldiers
so that you can charge in after you attack. If done correctly, then the enemy should stay attacking the first group. Leave
your archers with the first group to "rain fire on the enemy". You would probably take the settlement. Note: This
works best against barbarians and sometimes rebels.

Hint: Blockades:
If the Senate asks you blockade a port, etc., you can go blockade it for the last turn and not have to do it for the entire
five.
