A good friend of mine and myself have signed up for two friend games of
Hyborian War.  Our first setups are Aquilonia / Stygia and the other is
Khitai / Vendhya.  We have just started and have little to no ideal
on how to run our nations.  I was wonder what advice any veterans could
give us as there are no sites that have any info. on Hyboria and according
to various report we will be playing against veterans so I need some
advice.

My Aquilonian friend is considering keeping two of his armies on the
defensive and invading 194 the Eastern March with one of his armies.

Is there another place that he should go and will the mountains hurt
any Nemedia invasion attempts?

Second in my Khitai game, I'm planning on invading the Pathenian Hills
and either the High Desert or Kusan Steppes (which is better?) then
invading the Haunted Jungle down south.

Do I have a chance if I decide to invade the Kambuljan Jungle with two
imperial armies?

What the heck do you do with Khitai's might two ship navy?  How many ships
should I recruit into it and is it worth raiding the Oceans?

My real concerns involve the number of troops to recruit and if I should
recruit mercenaries?

My other question is peace treaties, since this is going into peace years
...all the treaties run out so I can invade Kusan if I choose to when I
reach him?

Do old characters normally do well is peace years or will they die off?

I'm concerned as to whether two old superior military commanders will make
it through the peace years.  Their ONLY skills are superior military
command so I'm guessing that they are worth saving?

Another question on my mind is whether Sunbaning the Kambuljan Jungle
will hurt it or not?  Can you Sunbane Tundra/Swamp and increase production
or will it decrease production?

Can the Adjutant General command an army?

Also when do you get new characters???  Will I run out as Khatai???

How strong is Kambulja and her God-King?  I heard they have agents as well?

Basically.....I NEED SOME ADVICE!
