Myth II: Soulblighter

- Don't Rush: Play on the slowest speed possible for as long as possible or you'll just get swamped by having too many things to manage and not enough time to manage it all. By all means, up the speed when you're going somewhere or just walking around but be very careful as you're liable to wind up with dead people.

- Dead People: You're going to lose people, good people, unless you're some sort of master player or insane with the saving and reloading. This is a natural thing for Myth. Not everyone is going to get out of it alive.

- Micromanage: Make sure your archers are shooting and your dwarves are throwing and make sure they're not shooting your damned people in the back. Babysit.
