This is a basic guide for new players to help get you into the game sooner rather than later.
 
 
These a tips from hours of play and aimed at getting a good start.
 
 
By no means an expert guide, but enough tips to help a new player get to the enjoyment part of the game quicker.
 
 

Followers:

Your followers have several key roles to play, and they can change at different stages of the game.
 
 

Stage 1:

 
Explore, explore, explore, when you start a new game, you need to know what is out there and the quickest and best way is to get your followers to explore.
 
 

 
 
For the first 10 turns have all 4 followers exploring provinces.
 
After this, you will want at least 2 followers exploring up to turn 50.
 
Then just explore when you need to.
 
Now you have explored, you should also have one follower “searching” provinces for Dungeons.
 
 

Stage 2:

 
Level up follower levels via getting experience.
 
Send followers on diplomatic ventures via being an emissary to independent towns/cities.
 
Attach followers as either General, Scout or Champion in your armies and have them fight in battles by attaching to units at the start of the battle.
 
 
Follower key activities:
 

• Explore a province
• Search a province
• Emissary to independent towns (great to get experience)
• A role in an Army (General first, scout second)
• Train workers new traits.

 
Things not to worry about:
 
Appointment to offices, I have found this to be of minor value and something you can explore when you become a veteran.
 
 
 

Workers:

Your workers are needed to build things and then make those building more efficient.
 
 
Always make sure you have worker in your wizard tower as this extra money/food/tools really helps, especially early in the game.
 
 
Training: you should always have at least one follower training your workers in new traits.
