In the mide of the square center is a raised area of land borderd by cliffs.   At the end of each players puninsula is two towers with two mats inbetween them.   behind the tower is a cliff with a path on one side that goes to a square of land with two more mats.   Around the maps are 8 different soldiers.   There is a Longbowman, Scorpion, Teutonic Knight, Samurai, Huskarl, Archer, Woad Raider, and a Man-At-Arms.

Hints and Tricks.
1.   Protect your original people. If you lose any of those people you can't make that type anymore. A good idea is to hid the ones you are not using in your tower.   Also you can leave 5-10 people blocking the path to your mats.
2.   Fight close to home. The person that is closes to there home is going to get reinforcements before the other person and consequensly they will have less casualties then the attacking forces.
Also if you leave your home unprotected someone can attack and kill your original people.
3.   Use your reinforcements and special units. Your sabotuers should be used to attack large groups of enemy troops. dont wast them on towers. Protect your heavy scorpions.   They are great at attacking massed enemy troops because they aff pass through damage. (anything the bolt hits it hurts) Keep the heavy scorpions behind your archers to protect it.   Use your Jean de Lorrins behind you archer formation to suport them. You prmary targets are other Jean de Lorrins and heavy Scorpions.   Also keep Heavy scorpions and Jean de Lorrins back at your mats to protect the original units from attacking Elite Longboats.   Use your Elite Longboats to attack and kill enemy original units. make sure to move your longboats or you will not get more every 5 minutes.
4.   Desiding what unit to use. Archers are normaly the best to use. Archers are good against all infantry except huskarls. They are bad against scorpions huskarls and janssarys.   I start by making archers and when I have 150 kills change to longbowmen. Once I get to 450 kills I make Huskarls along with archers. (huskarls are great at killing archers because they have lots of peirce armor) Once I get to 750 kills I just make Scorpions. After I get to 1250 kills I make Ornlu the wolf (400 hit pionts and enemy units wont attack them without you ordering them to.) along with scorprions.   I will stop making Ornlu the Wolf when I get 1500 kills and make William Wallaces. No one last long after this.
