Establish the base of your economy strong, that when time comes and immediate replenishment become impending necessity, your economic properties must be willing and able to support your corps. Go ahead with building a quick gather post for all of resources avalible. Then select a resource and a way to gather it, according the the map, this can be lumber, food, maybe even gold. You need to rush on that particular resource while keeping a safe balance of other resources aswell, when you are at feudal age and built a market. Build many command posts and economic buildings around so you may always have alternate ways o survival if required. Vary the type of your forces along in light infantry, heavy infantry and cavalry, archers, and siege equipment. March cadenced, divided, and fight concentrated. Always try to provoke your enemy to lure him to where your forces are able to rout them en de mass. Interrupt their resource outposts and intercept any attempts on your own. These trivial occurances are most oftenly those who turn the tides and write the fate of the battle. Followed all these instructions it is most unlikely that you might still loose. Eventhough, it is a bad plan, that cannot be altered.
