Combat Tips
- Generally, don't raze an enemy's original capital since it has a great hearth.
- Security only matters in the city that you are mustering troops from and troops use the city's current security value so you don't need to increase it until you expect your troops to fight.
- Generally, you want to try to muster all your units out of just 1 city and have security high there. If you only have enemies in 1 direction then a border city works. If you are surrounded then a central city might be better so you have flexibility to muster and then move out from there.
- You can't muster from a city that is being sieged so be careful if you are keeping most of your units in reserve.
- City walls make it so siege units are needed before a city can be moved into and sieged down. But they have a high maintenance cost so early game, it can be cheaper to station units in the city.
