Age of Realms: Magic-------Strategy

[Koganosi]

Only time you go for sanctaury is a stack game with more then 4 players. If you are with less of them you can easily get armies by taking villages with 1 resouce pair. And if you go for it. Try to hide it. They spot it so easily they take it of you and a fight starts about it. Normally untill one doesnt fight and just w8's are all think to do this and someone can hold it for 1 turn. This only happens in not freestyle. If it is freestyle you can double turn. Check if someone else is online take ur turn and sanc. Then hope he starts so you can 2. I never took it myself, I like killing my opponents more.

To me, it looks like on Magic you should rush a few villages and resource pairs to get extra armies, cause villages and pairs are worth a lot more.

Also, i think ignoring Sanctuary is the best way to go, cause theres not much of a chance that you will be able to gather more than 75 armies...

I think this one will be played by going after your opponents, not the sanctuary.

any strategies you guys see for this map?

Disagree, but I can see this is old advice.

Basically, forget Sanctuary. Most people want to try it once, but then it just delays the game.

Since all the bonuses compound (EVERY bonus goes up for each additional bonus territory you take), that is where the real "money" lies.

Basic strategy... be the first to get your resource pairs. Depending on location, you can usually pick up a village or two. Beyond that, it really is up to luck.

There are some basic "routes" that make for quick acess to resources and then other castles, resources and villages, but gotta leave something for folks to figure out on their own.

Quite an obvious tactic in "nuclear" mode is to keep an eye out in case the "Sanctuary" card is used for spoils. Then just take Sanctuary and hope the other players have not spotted your move!
