Advice...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Do you use the advice in which unit to recruit or which building to be build ??
Or do you use any battlefield advices??
Have you ever used the advice that the game gives you???
When I first got the game I did use this because I was new to it ..
later I just turned it off .. I think it was after the first 20-25 turns in my first campaign ...

Once, and only once - Marcus told me to "scatter my line to prevent the enemy from realising my strategy". It didn't work and, although I won, I ended up with a close phyric victory.

Since then I've turned the advice off - primarily because they're distracting, but also because I also simply don't need them - I have the ability to understand the details scrolls to work out what's best to build and what tactic to use without their assistance.

I never used the advice except for the very beginning. The advice they give you are very, very bad. You'd do better doing things by yourself.

I never use advice in battle or unit recruitment. Only when i want to know what shrine to build.

I don't think the advice is as bad as made out in above, it's worth having it on for a while and at least understanding the reasons for it. I tried to see, what was in all of it, some of Marcus's stuff was at least worth considering. It could be a distraction at a critical moment however, what I don't understand given some of the fairly appropriate pointers, why the battle AI would act so dumb.

Have turned it off now, and don't miss it, sometimes ask Victoria for suggestion, which I can then evaluate.
