You will need TeachText or SimpleText to open other files. They are in PICT format, so many painting programs can read them as well.
Sample graphics may be different from your WarCraft game. These images were taken originally in 16 bits (Thousands of colors; I don't know if WarCraft can display that much), but I converted them into 8 bits (256 colors) to keep the file size small.

•Knight Unit Usage
Knights are very powerful units of your Army. Though it is possible to win a war without Knights, you can win a war with fewer loss of your men.
*Don't think Knights as attacking units. If you use Knights to attack an enemy city, even with 20 Knights, you will lose the battle and money (They are very expencive units!). First, you don't need 20 Knights to win a battle. You only need 2 or 4 good Knights. They should have the strongest Armours you can get, and their horses should be faster than, or as fast as Orcish Hordes' darkwolves. They don't need the strongest Weaponry, but it will help. You should place 1 or 2 Knights behind your main gate. Knights are there to be used as a bate. And you can assign your other Knights to the bombing crew.
>Guiding Orcs to your city. Open your gate (Move the middle Footman so that Knight can go through). Bring your Knight out side of your city, but don't close the gate yet. Your Knight shall wonder around until he finds Orcs. When he finds Orcs, don't attack them (unless they are Peons, of course). Let Orcs find your Knight first. When Orcs start to follow your Knight, bring your Knight back into your city and close the gate (Line up 3 Footmen so that nobody can go through). Keep doing this until their attacks gets weak enough for you to attack.
>Guiding more Orcs. Bring your Knight near Enemy city. Be careful for the Catapults they may have. To be safe, you can use "Far Seeing" to see what enemy city looks like. When enemy units find your Knight, run back to your city and close the gate. Keep doing this until there are no enemy in the city. Then send your bombing crew.
*Use knights as Catapults Killers and Anti-Warlock. Since your gate is not very effective against an assult from a Catapult and/or a gas attack from Warlocks, you must send your Knight to kill them before they get to your gate. Never send Archers! They are useless against them. Footmen are okay, but since they are slow, they can be killed by a Catapult.
•Cleric Unit Usage
Clerics are not attacking units. They are there to heal your men. Don't send them to the battle field (except bombing crew).
•Catapults Attack
Catapults will automatically attack if your men are away from the target (if your men will not get hurt by the projectile). But if you tell Catapults to attack an enemy, Catapults will fire the projectile even if there are friendly units nearby (Catapults will kill both side, that is).
