One would have thought that this year’s lackluster ratings for The Academy Awards television broadcast would have sent a strong message to liberal filmmakers. With vast majority of nominations having gone to dreary films that extol perceived benefits of a liberal utopia, millions of viewers tuned out. They just didn’t watch. Now, it seems, same thing is happening at box office. People aren’t watching by millions. Those who do can’t stomach morality lessons enough for a second viewing.

Apart from liberal themes, there are liberal actors. Sean Penn recently traveled to Iran to observe and report on elections there for a major American Newspaper. One wonders why? Perhaps he hoped to find another dictatorial utopia for America to leave alone? He and many of his liberal friends seemed to feel that Saddam Hussein had created some sort of socialist Muslim heaven on earth that America had no right to disturb.

Liberal actors, musicians and artists all joined together in past couple of years for what they were sure would be a successful effort to prevent War with Iraq and keep President Bush from serving a second term. Most were devastated when these efforts failed miserably. Perhaps they felt that what they were doing was akin to Hollywood Canteen and War Bond drives of World War II fame? If that’s case, they were wrong.

Bad mouthing President and trashing our troops is not way to win hearts and minds of most Americans. Holding tyrannical dictators like Castro and Saddam up as socialist miracle workers is crazy. Creating entertainments that trash values held dear by any faction of Americans is wrong, counter productive and irritating. People don’t go to movies to be irritated.

What will it all come to? King Kong gets a non-traditional marriage to Godzilla and adopts Mothra who saves whales from Republican Fishermen? Liberals have every right to share their vision of what America should be. It’s no crime and never should be for them to express their frustration at prejudice faced by those living in non-traditional situations. It’s also just as fair for those who beg to differ with their views to avoid entertainment venues that extol liberal values.

Archers are very effective against light troops and mounted archers are a good way to harass enemy troops. Always keep archers them away from infantry and cavalry. Put them behind your infantry when enemy is close and protect them with your cavalrywhen necessary. If you have opportunity to flank enemy using archers,make sure you take off skirmish mode and attack, you will catch enemy off guard. When enemy is far away put archers in front to shoot arrows as enemy approaches then bring them behind.

E. Fatigue

Your units will slowly or quickly get fatigued based on their actions. Use this to your advantage by forcing attacking armies to march to you and by running only when necessary.

F. Terrain

Use terrain to your advantage. When fighting near or in a forest, lure enemy and launch surprise attacks. Place one or two units out in open while you hide rest of your army in forests. However, remember that archers perform poorly near trees. Also, remember that generals are not hidden in forests. When you are fighting on a map with a slope, try to control higher ground and avoid an uphill battle. Units move very slowly when marching uphill and attack much less effectively; opposite is true downhill If you have option to wait out battle and weather doesn’t suit your army, wait until weather changes. Some units are better suited to certain weather condtions than others. Read unit descriptions to find out more details about each units ideal figting conditions. Some terrain such as mountains is impassible to your armies. Try to find an alternate route. Certain choke points such as bridges are important strategic locations. Defending a bridge is much easier than defending on an open plain. You can also hide your whole army on campaign map in a wooded area to launch surprise attacks on an enemy army.

G. After they flee

When enemy starts to flee, continue battle rather than end it so you can use your cavalry and attack dogs to run over fleeing enemies. You can gain more experience for your units this way. Using your general's cavalry to run over routing units is a quick way to gain experience and skills for general.

H. Attacking with multiple armies

Whenever possible, try to attack with multiple armies by surrounding terrain around enemy with your forces. When one of your armies is adjacent, AI is in control of army and helps in fight. Any type of reinforcement usually helps win battle but be wary of AI poorly managing your valuable Generals and armies.
