STRATEGY & TIPS FOR BOW OR DIE

Defend key positions rather than spreading your forces thin across the whole board or map.

Secure your resource generation before expanding your army or territory — a stronger economy compounds every turn after that.

Don't commit your whole force to one engagement — keep a reserve for whatever the fight leaves exposed afterward.

Identify your single biggest vulnerability each turn and address that before optimizing something that's already working.
