The developers/Game masters/Moderators do not get involved in ingame politics, including espionage.

The information is on topic and if you wish to debate how it was obtained, please take it to the politics section (or bitter sea).

Any discussion relating to: Politics, accusations of espionage, copyright law etc should be taken to either the political, bitter sea or caravanserai forums.

If anyone feels there are legitimate legal issues that should be brought to our attention here, they are welcome to contact us outside of the game and notify us of it.

I have left sufficient replies to mark that there is legitimate concern for meta-gaming being involved in the posting of the reply in question, but beyond posting a link to a discussion in a separate forum this thread is to remain on topic, tips for new players.

hehehee Clap

So newbies feel free to copy or discuss the Guide taken from the Harmelss/Toothless Restricted forum because it has such useful information which you will all enjoy and can share with each other.

But I would just like to highlight one fact and that is "Hamrless" and "Toothless " did not want you to have it. Think on that my friends.

Perhaps Brag, that's why they're one of the best( or best) training alliance out there. Giving out their secrets is something no specialist/master does, as in a master chef or master blacksmith.

And also TD great job helping these newbies outThumbs Up

Whoa hang on,

I watched Top chef all stars and one of the chefs gave out some of his secret recipes to another contestant.  so you are wrong!
It's just a game. :)

The thread is diverging topic again--oddly this time without intervention--so here's some quick random tips:

  • Don't get overly excited about sovereignty early in the game.  Do research sovereignty when you've nothing better to research, but don't rush into it except to bolster a weak (3-plot) resource.  Pursued too early in the game, sovereignty will only hamper economic growth.
  • Level up your commanders by beating on critters, but don't go into a fight blind.  Reference the list of NPC party sizes and units to quickly determine what you are up against, and only send good counter-units (i.e. spears and maybe bows against a mostly-cavalry species like elephants).  The linked page above will help you find stats on NPC units as well as indicate what kind of unit they are.  And if any stats or unit pages are missing, send scouts to the camp to find out exactly what you face.
  • Stack NPC-hunting armies with attack-upgraded commanders as well as offensive units.  If your total attack value exceeds the target's average defense by a factor of 10, you'll take very minimal losses.  Note that this is total strength, not simply unit count.  An average elephant is equivalent to 2-3 cavalry units.  You can use this calculator to assess your own army's strength--NPCs are not yet recognized, but they will be when I get around to updating it and have all the data I need.

It strikes me that these "Tips" and "Guides" would serve  a far more useful purpose if they were  included in the "Arcanium Illyriad" or whatever it is called.
 
Perhaps one the areas that that the community has been lax in is the development of this IllyWiki (as I prefer to call it). Other browser games have quite comprehensive wiki's and we; the community in Illyriad should now work to complete the work started by Honored Mule and other contributers.
 
We have had a recent influx of new players into this imaginative, techincal and "massive" game.  They will find it more enjoyable and stay longer if they have a reference source that they can consult and also contribute to .We should all work together now to bring guides from the alliances and experience from the  long term players into a reference source that we could all be proud of.
 
The two "Begiinners Guides" contained in this thread are well written and should become accesable to all rather than argued about by a few ( and I have to include myself in that).

The guide that has been posted for T? is being revised due to the new UI.  It still has very good information.
