Right, you pretty much know what you're doing in Total War Battles: KINGDOM now, but that doesn't mean you're not going to need a helping hand every now and then. And helping hands is what we're best at in these parts.

Here are some general hints and tips that should ensure you're making the most of your time in the game. If you're stuck, or in a bind, then check these out and you should soon be heading off in the right direction.

And, if you've got your own helping-out-ideas, then chuck them in the comments at the bottom of the article. It's good to get unstuck, but it's even better to help other people out when they're stuck.


Train your peasants

It's likely you're going to end up with a surplus of peasants in your kingdom. But, you can turn them into useful members of society rather than mud-grubbing tithe payers.

Tap on your homestead and you can train them into craftsmen. Essentially you're using the peasants as currency. Ten of them will make one craftsman. Just don't think about what happens to the nine that don't make it.

Watch the weather

Make sure you keep an eye on what the weather is doing. If it's chucking it down then there's a pretty good chance you're going to have to deal with floods. Strangely enough, these aren't good for your kingdom.

You can negate them with dams, terraforming, and making sure you don't build too close to water sources. If you don't like the season you're in, you can pay some gold to a wizard to make him change it. Just like in real life.

Build your walls

One thing you might notice when you're building settlements is that you can add walls. These are important to stop floods and to keep raiders out of your houses - or at least slow them down.

You also need them to upgrade your castle. And upgrading your castle gives you more options for what you can build. So...

Upgrade your castle

Check what you need to upgrade your castle. There are criteria that you need to fill to get its level up, and you can check them by tapping your castle, then tapping the upgrade button.

Try and make sure everything you're doing is, at least in some way, moving you towards levelling up. It's good to focus on this once you've got through the first couple of hours of the game.

Can wizards really change the season we're in or is Harry talking garbage again? Let us know in the comments below!
