📖 Beginner’s Guide

This guide focuses on decisions that matter most for new players: how to win your first week, how to avoid bleeding units, and how to turn small advantages into towns.

🏁 First week priorities

• Scout early: use extra heroes to reveal mines, roads, and choke points.
• Pick fights you win cleanly: losing early units is the fastest way to fall behind.
• Build toward a power spike: T3–T5 units usually unlock your first “real” army.
• Bank tempo: grab mines and deny the enemy the same mines.

⚔️ Combat fundamentals

In most fights, your goal is to protect your shooters, trade one enemy stack at a time, and avoid exposing fragile stacks to retaliation. Spells like Slow and Haste are tempo tools: they let you decide who takes the first meaningful hit.
