Each line of runes in this school has a specific purpose. Each also has a 22hr shared cooldown after activation before being able to be recast. The Slaying line kills units entering your city indescriminately, with the exception of spies and scouts. The Seeking line boasts more charges than the Slaying line but is limited to diplomatic units and requires you to specify the unit type against which it will act (scouts and spies can be targeted by this ability).

As in most cases in this game, T1 units typically have better defensive stats while T2 units better offensive stats per unit of gold upkeep per hour. T1 thieves are only able to steal basic resources, but T2 thieves can also steal gold, and T2 gear. As with all diplomatic units, T1 thieves are best left at home defending you from hostile thieves, while T2 units sent en-masse to an enemy can deprive them of the basic resources to keep growing their city as well as gold to support their troops and weapons with which to create new ones.

Scouts are able to determine how many units and of what types are present in any given location, whether that be an enemy city's army, an occupation force, a group of NPCs or even what type of minerals are inside a mine. T1 scouts are limited to only reporting on what is currently present; T2 scouts can determine an enemy city's deployment of units as well. Knowing the type and concentration of units garrisoned inside an enemy city can be a decisive advantage, and knowing that an enemy's armies are currently out on maneuvers can allow you to take the initiative and attack while a city is largely defenseless.

Spies are used to determine the current structures in a city, as well as any resources in the city. T2 spies can also report on any building construction or research being conducted in those cities. Combined with Saboteur units you can cause costly damage to an enemy city's growth by interfering with its building construction, as well set it back technologicallly by extending a lengthy research project a great deal past its expected finish date.

Working alongside spy units, saboteurs are able to disrupt a city's construction queue. T1 saboteurs can sabotage a single construction task in the queue, while T2 saboteurs have a chance to sabotage a second, as well as delay an ongoing research by up to twice the original time required.

Assassin units are able to silently kill enemy commanders within their cities or occupation armies. T1 assassins are only able to target a single commander per mission; T2 assassins do more damage and have a chance of assassinating two commanders in a single mission. A leaderless army will be much easier to destroy than one with a highly skilled commander that buffs its division's damage and defense, as well as removing a highly damaging unit from the army with little risk to yourself if the enemy lacks defense against assassins.

Spear units are the first available to build by all players. Their primary use is often city defense as they lack a great deal of terrain bonuses to attack or defense, though they can be used en-masse to swarm an enemy since they are the cheapset military unit in gold upkeep. Orcs have elite spear units, which have lower material requirements to build in exchange for requiring beer in their build recipe. Spearmen are a natural counter to enemy cavalry and are weak to enemy infantry.

Infantry units have rather even defensive stats and are suberb at attacking on forested terrain, as well as being decent at attacking mountainous. Their massive bonuse for fighting within buildings should also be kept in mind when selecting locations for new citites; if your city is directly adjacent to a structure you'll have an uphill battle trying to defeat a siege force station on a building tile with infantry support. Dwarves have elite infantry units - they're the fastest and strongest of the various races' infantries. Like all elite units they have lowered material costs to train in exchange for requiring beer instead. Infantry are a natural counter to enemy archers and to a slightly lesser extent infantry, while being weak only to other infantry units.

Ranged units have rather even defensive bonuses except for a weakness to cavalry. They are adept at defending or attacking cities settled on hills in the mountains due to their sizable bonuses on those terrain types. Elves have elite archers - they're without a doubt the best ranged units the varying races have to offer and, like all elite units, have lowered material costs in crafting in exchange for requiring beer instead. Ranged are not a counter to any other unit type, but they are weak to enemy cavalry.

Cavalry units are naturally the fastest attacking unit by far and find themselves at home on the plains, since that's the only terrain type upon which they gain any bonuses. They can also be used effectively on small hills as they gain no bonuses or penalties on them. Cavalry also have the higest damage values of all unit types but also take the longest to train. Humans have the best all-around cavalry units, though not by as significant margins as the other races' specalized unit types. Like the other elite units, human cavalry has reduced resource requirements in training in exchange for requiring beer to produce. Cavalry are a natural counter to enemy archers but are weak to enemy spearmen; their primary advantage is their speed.

Siege units are used solely for besieging a city, as their name implies. The T1 variety destroy enemy walls, while the T2 variety rain down destruction on the city's buildings, lowering its population and making it ready for your sieging force to either capture or raze the city. Dwarves have the most accurate siege units and the fastest T2 siege unit compared to the other races, though they are not counted as elite units and therefore are no easier to create than the other races' siege units.

T3 crafted items can require any number of materials that range from abundant to extremely scarce. Most are geared toward a specific usage context, like increasing movement unit speed at the cost of defense, or increasing unit defense at the cost of damage or speed. Some can give slight advantages to a single stat while having no obvious downsides, while some can give quite large penalties for fighting any type of unit other than what it's designed for. For any usage scenario you can imagine there exists a crafted item geared specifically toward that purpose - whether you're able or willing to make and risk losing them is up to you.

Growing your empire is a slow and studious task. Knowing the milestones ahead of time for when you'll next be able to settle a new city can often change your building strategy, and knowing what buildings provide the highest population can help you reach those milestones faster.

These general guidelines can be helpful in determining what type of city to settle in a location. Resources aren't the only concern to plan around but it's still helpful to know which locations are best suited to which vocations.

If an NPC group is close enough to your city you'll often be presented with a vague term describing the size of the group. Knowing what exactly those terms mean can occasionally shave some time off of your hunting exercises by allowing you to forgo scouting and simply attack with the knowledge that, even if the group is as large as the terms below allow, you're still well-equipped to destroy them.
- "Few": Less than 4 units
- "Handful": 5 to 8
- "Several": 9 to 21

The Sovereignty system can be intimidating when your city reaches a certain size and you begin to use it for the first time. This chart shows a basic breakdown of the costs at sovereignty level 5 of the tiles around your city. This will allow you to get a jump start on claiming sovereignty without reading a small novel detailing the intricacies of the system first.
When scouting the map for new locations to settle it's often difficult to tell where the best sovereignty bonuses lie. This table providing the name of the tiles, the bonus type provided, the percentage boost they give and an image of what they look like can help speed up finding that perfect spot for your next city.

The Allembine quest has players send spies to various locations in Elgea containing Heroic Human Statues. Every successfully statue spied grants the city from which they were sent a 
,
a spy unit that cannot be sent on missions but has a very high spy defense value. Once a city has collected all 20 scribes it gains the discovery "Allembine Research" which grants +5 research points hourly per Library level, up to a maximum of 100 extra research
in that city. As it is a discovery, and discoveries are city-specific, you have to repeat the quest from every city at which you want the bonus. The quest's flavor text is as follows:
"Historians from the Order of Allembine are seeking to clarify several distant details in the family tree of our beloved King Sigurd.
At the foundation of the current dynasty, some 800 years ago, it is known that statues were erected across Illyria to the first King’s two Grandfathers and 18 Great Uncles, all of whom carried arms in the struggle to establish the dynasty. However, the Order of Allembine at that stage had more urgent duties than the recording of the Royal Family’s predecessors, and so no written records were made.
The Order now invites all lords and ladies holding settlements in Illyria to assist with their research. Rulers wishing to assist might start by considering the statues of the King’s antecedents, which can be seen scattered about the lands.
The Order are hoping to confirm, from multiple sources, the names and any life details of these 20 royal forbears.
The Order seeks evidence and worn testimony, not rumour and hearsay, so rulers must provide both the names and sworn verbal testimony as to how the names were gathered – for example, the Order will want to know that a settlement’s diplomats have personally visited a site which offers evidence; it is not enough to have heard a rumour from another ruler or another settlement."
I've included a "Done" column in case anyone wants to take a screenshot or copy the table into their own profile to more easily keep track of their progress through the quest.

The Gnome Brew quest requires you to send at least 125 advanced spies to the Steamtastic Brewery (send). Once completed you'll be granted the Gnome Brew discovery in that city, which reduces the production cost of each barrel of beer produced in that city by 5 food.
