Things I have learned about Alamaze so far:
- Contact/diplomacy with your fellow players is necessary for survival. In other words, you will be eaten alive if you are silent.
- Avoid the temptation to sell all your food every turn. Winter is coming.
- While it is easy to come up with a budget every turn (food and gold), it is more difficult (and important) to plan out how you will spend it over the first several turns. Don't spend it all too fast.
- Move quickly to dominate a region and gather up a host of towns/villages.
- You can't combine groups into a single attack. If you want to combine forces, you must first transfer troops into one group and THEN attack.
- Did I mention the importance of contact/diplomacy?
- The players and moderators are super-helpful in every aspect of the game.
