				004-Tactical Help for Skirmish
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
					
1-)Stances:Each Battalion can enter a particular attack mode,or what we refer as
stances.
These stances can boost their attack or defence.
The stances boutton is located on the palantir.
If you click on the Stances Button it will bring up 3 stances to choose from.


a)Battle Stance:Battalions on this stance have no boost on Attack or Defence.

b)Hold Ground Stance:Battalions on this stance get a boost on their Defence but a
decrease on
their Attack.

c)Agressive Stance:Battalions on this stance get a boost on their Attack but a
decrease on
their Defence.


2-)Line Formation:Press and hold both left and right mouse buttons and drag your
mouse.You will
notice that a formation preview will be displayed on the ground.Once you release
the buttons
your units will form up into this battle line.


3-)How can I stop Cavalry against Archers:Cavalry (Men on Horses)can crush Archers
(Ranged Units).
To stop them select your Archers(Ranged Units) and put the stance to the Hold
Ground Stance.
Once you do this you will see that Cavalry (Men on Horses) will not be able to
crush your
Archers (Ranged Units).

4-)The walls got a lot of Defence its not easy to destroy them with Melee Units or
Ranged Units
What Should I Do:To destroy walls easily you just have to train one or two Trolls
after u train
trolls put the stance to the Agressive Stance and Throw Rock Mode after you do
these you are
ready to destroy the walls easily.

4b-)Trolls are only for Mordor Army what creatures can I use to destroy walls with
other armies:


For Isengard Army:There is a weapon called Ballista that you can create it from
The Great Siege Works
just build 2 Ballistas and go to destroy the walls.

For Goblin Army:You just have to train two Cave Trolls from Fissure and put the
stance to 
Agressive Stance and Throw Rock Mode.You are ready to destroy the walls.

For Dwarves Army:There is a weapon called Demolisher that you can create it from
Forge Works just
build one Demolisher put the stance to Agressive Stance and you are ready to
destroy the walls.

For Elf Army:You can train an Ent from Ent Moot and go to destroy the walls but
don't forgot
to put the stance to Agressive Stance.

For Men Army:There is a weapon called Trebuchet that you can create it from Siege
Works
just build 2 Trebuchets  put the stance to Agressive Stance and you are ready to
destroy the walls.

5-)There is a sea between me and enemy and my units can't swim across the water
what should I do:
There are always 2 or 3 shipwrights in a map that have a sea.You just have to
capture one of these
shipwrights and build a Transport Ship after  you build your Transport Ship drive
your ship
near the coast and load the units that you want to go across the sea when you load
the units
drive the ship to the enemy coast and empty the ship.So now your units are on the
enemy land.
