Alright, let's dive into how to get the upper hand in Songs of Conquest multiplayer. It's a bit different from single-player, and knowing a few tricks can make all the difference between a win and a tough loss.

General Tips

• Movement is Key: Always, and I mean *always*, explore. You're looking for resources to boost your economy and capture buildings for more income and vision. If you're not grabbing everything, your opponent will. To speed this up, increase your Wielder's movement stat and get a secondary Wielder. This way, your main Wielder can focus on fighting while the secondary grabs all the goodies.
• Use the ALT Key: Seriously, use it all the time. It shows you everything you can interact with on the map. This isn't just for finding loot; it can even reveal items hidden behind environmental objects. It's a game-changer for efficient looting and spotting opportunities.

Make a Strategy

• Focus Your Goals: Decide early on what units you're aiming for and what research you want to prioritize. Focusing on just a few unit types makes research cheaper and reinforcements faster, but it means you'll be less flexible with spells and unit variety.
• Experiment Early: Maps 1-3 in most campaigns are usually pretty forgiving. Use these early maps to try out different tactics and units. Figure out what you like and what works for you, so you can go into the final map with a solid plan.

• Small Settlements: You'll have 2 small and 1 medium building slot here.

When deciding what to build, consider your current situation:

• Resource Management: If you're short on rare resources, consider building multiple Markets (up to 5). They offer better trade prices, which is essential for unlocking your highest-tier units, making upgrades cheaper, and speeding up your overall progress.
• Reinforcements: If you're struggling to keep your armies stocked, focus on reinforcing one unit type and using Rally Points to bring in more.
• Defense: If an enemy is pushing towards you, build a Tower. They only take one turn to build, are super powerful, and can take down dangerous units like Cheluns or Necromancers. Even if you can't wipe out their whole army, softening them up can give you a huge advantage in the next fight.

Artifacts

• Keep Everything: You'll find lots of artifacts, some good, some not so much. Even a
