My Game Guide with RWL slang

[thomaskreisman]

In your first 100 turns: spend all of them scouting what you build on the land you get will very by strategy.

note: when I say "gather land" you do that by attacking people with drive.

standard attack = uses all troop classes (don't do this ever!)
Gorilla strike = uses only rats
bombardment = uses only weasels
frontal assault = uses only stoats
naval assault = uses only skiffs
enslave = uses all troop classes and captures workers (never use this, ever!)

Some Basic Strats

Indy: Run 1: be a rat or lizard preferably a rat then after you scout away all 100 turns then wait for full turns to do anything, always wait for full turns to start your run, once you have full turns build 25% markets and foragers and 50% barracks, gather land (35k minimum) then build on it with 50% barracks and 25% foragers and Markets, after you have enough land scout away all your turns.

Run 2: sell max troops to mercenaries then buy max food from the mercenaries, you will lose networth by doing this but you can use the cash and food you get to re-produce those troops and more, without that cash and food and you will lose all your troops, you might as well get cash for it, so after you do that gather land like normal (this time 40k minimum) and build 98% barracks and 2% huts, once you have enough land scout away all your turns but do it in groups of 25 and getting smaller as you go because if you run out of food or cash you will lose 3% of your army, I know that doesn't seem allot but if you use 25 turns with 0 food or cash that's 75% of your army gone, you don't want that, so pay attention to your food levels and cash amount, if you run out of turns or cash or food then wait for full turns and do this all again, also one more thing on this strategy, you are expected to lose cash and food every turn on your 2ed run on out that means you have allot of troops, this is good, keep doing that over and over again.


Leader, casher strat:

1st run: be a stoat or martin preferably a martin, build 10% markets, 5% foragers, and 85% huts on the land you scouted then gather land (35k minimum) and build 5% markets and 5% foragers and 90% huts, make certain that your cash and food production is in the green if not build markets and foragers to compensate, when you have green food and cash with 35k minimum then earn loyalty with all renaming turns.

2ed run: gather 35k land minimum and build 5% foragers and markets and 90% huts then spend all turns earning loyalty.

run 3: once you have over 100 leader hut ratio (you should have that when you start, if not destroy huts or capture leaders) then spend all possible turns looting if you are a stoat and gold mining if you are a martin do this until you run out of loyalty or turns, if you run out of loyalty spend all remaining turns earning loyalty, then wait for them to re-generate and from then on out alternate doing run 2 and 3. at the end of the round (if reg re-sets ever again) spend all cash on troops to get networth.

Leader Strat, Farmer:

Run 1-2: be a wolf or stoat, wolf is recommended, do the same thing for the leader casher runs 1-2.

run 3: the same thing as leader casher run 3 but instead of looting or gold mining do feast if you are a stoat but if you are a wolf do enrich one time and then use feast until you run out of loyalty or turns, if you do run out of loyalty spend all remaining turns earning loyalty, then wait for more turns and alternate run 2 and 3 over and over until the end of the round (if reg ever re-sets again)

Those are the basic strategies or strats as they are known as, I recommend them to new members, these next strats are more complicated but effective.

No Leader Strats
These strats are to be used in rounds of turbo with no leaders or if you want a challenge in reg.

Forager: run 1: be a wildcat, after scouting build 90% foragers and 10% markets, then gather land (40k minimum) and build 90% forages and 10% markets, after that forage all remaining turns away.

run 2-all: same as run 1

at the end of the round buy max troops.

Looter: same thing as forager but with looting swapped out with foraging and foragers and market switched around.

at the end of the round spend all cash on troops.

RWL: Redwall War Lords

Mod: someone on the forums that has the power to move topics, modify posts and delete posts.

Chease: a very long standing joke at RWL.






Thanks for reading my game guide, I'm Tom and I'm currently the Prime Minister of The Armada.

P.S. I am helping Sharptooth make a promi game, we only have the forums up but the game will go on the net hopefully by Christmas 2008, visit the forums at http://theromanempire.ipbfree.com/index.php?act=idx

[Firetooth]

nice, you've improved a lot since you started ;)

[Bloodsword]

 Wow this is really helpful, you must be the best player ever.

[taekwondokid42]

You have fans now  :D

[Bloodsword]

Why do you not like him? He was the one that sent me here. I still like him even though he goes to the Navy Accadamy.

[taekwondokid42]

Who said I didn't like him?

[Bloodsword]

 Nobody but do you? It just sounded like you are surprised.

[Shadow]

He's ok, it was just funny that you said he must be the best player ever.

Incidentally, you sound a lot like he does ^_^

Really? I don't think so, he is a good friend of mine at Vulpine but he is a Republican, I'm a Democrat.

[windhound]

I'm sorry, that makes zero sense. 
Republicans and Democrats can sound just alike...  infact, they often do. 

"I still like him even though he goes to the Navy Accadamy."
And the heck is with that?  You dont like Navy people?

You sound slightly brainwashed, if you dont mind me saying

Anyways, Tom is alright.  He makes odd choices and seems to betray his allies more often than not...  and he's taken pride in his backstabbing, which I find non-desirable. 
He's a middle-rank player, not the best and not the worst.

I was stopping in to reply to Nicks other post, and Navy and Arizona are rivals, he is on the Arizona football team.

[Bloodsword]

 Ya, but we win every time we play you guys, hehehe. Hey Tom, can you send me a couple hundred Gilders on vulpine, I'm in big trouble.

[Firetooth]

Wow this is really helpful, you must be the best player ever.

corretion-im the best player ever :P
tom's ok, ive worked with him before. he learns fast. He's middle ranked now, but if someone taught him properly he could be a lot better.

[Gorak]

you don't teach people to be a high ranked player
or they become one strat wonders who need their hand held while running when circumstances change

teach the basics, to make them competent in running, then set them loose, with a nudge here and there, and then you'll really see what their potential is

you learn better through doing things yourself, rather then just doing what your told

[The Obliterator]

I for once agree with you. :P
