• Each faction has its native terrain. Heroes do not suffer movement penalties when moving through their native terrain. This also applies if your hero has a unit from a faction whose native terrain you're moving through (e.g. Temple through grasslands)!

• Deserts are harsh and hostile environments and have a much higher movement penalty for crossing them. Consider looking for items or investing into skills and spells that reduce movement penalties if you want to explore them quickly!

• Roads reduce the cost of travelling the wilds by 33%. Make sure to use them if you want to traverse the map!

• If you're unsure of what objects you can visit, hold ALT! It'll highlight for you everything you can interact with!

• If you struggle with beating up the guards, split your units into smaller numbers! Most units can counterattack only once so use that to your advantage by distracting them with weaker unit stacks!

• Make sure to check your hero specialisations! Olden Era has many interesting heroes and some are better suited for different tasks like resource collection or scouting!

• Be careful about mixing armies! Your troops prefer fighting with others from their homeland and will receive morale penalties when mixed with units from other factions. Consider investing into morale-boosting artefacts or skills if you want to use mixed armies!

• Remember about your Focus Bar! A new feature present only in Olden Era, Focus is gained by taking and dealing damage and is needed for hero and unit abilities. There are many skills and spells that can improve or reduce your Focus gain! You can quickly activate your abilities by pressing 1 to 0 hotkeys on your keyboard (from left side to the right side of the bar).

• Magic is important! Your heroes can learn many various spells, which can allow you to defeat forces that would have been impossible to defeat. Ran into trouble? Blast them with a fireball! You can access your spellbook by pressing B hotkey on your keyboard and your mage guild by pressing O hotkey on your keyboard.

• Make sure to develop your Laws! Faction Laws are a brand new feature in Olden Era that act as a chain of upgrades for your starting faction! Improve your gold income in towns and fight enemies with your heroes to earn Faction Law Points, which turn into Faction Seals ! Various Laws require different amounts of Seals, but unlock many powerful and unique bonuses for your units and heroes! You can access them by pressing L hotkey on your keyboard.
