Internet Latency
An inevitable reality of the Internet is that latency (the measure of time that it takes for your computer to send and receive information over the net) will cause games played over the Internet to sometimes “hiccup,” jump or slow down. There are a few things you can do to reduce these internet anomalies if you are using a modem. Using the control panel or configuration software for your modem, turn off error correction and turn on TCP/IP header compression.
Multiplayer Tips
Myth II: Soulblighter is a dynamic game of ebb and flow of forces on the battlefield. In general, keeping your forces moving – charging and retreating, feinting and flanking – will keep you safer than parking a group in one location and waiting for the enemy to take them out.
Units who do explosive damage can be as much a threat to your forces as to the enemy. Wights are typically best kept a good distance from friendly formations, warlocks need to have a clear path to the enemy, and dwarves need to be maneuvered carefully lest they throw too near your forces, or explode upon dying and cause friendly casualties.
Keep your projectile units on the highest ground possible. A line of bowmen at the crest of a hill firing down have a distinct advantage over a line at the bottom of the hill, firing up.
Be careful when firing into a melee, as you're likely to shoot your own troops in the back.
Don't engage an enemy of superior strength unless you plan on sitting out the rest of the game. Wait until they've been weakened, and then pounce on them.
If you think you're about to be overwhelmed, consider pulling back to a more defensible spot, even if it means sacrificing a few units.
There's nothing as satisfying as tricking your opponent into range of a wight. Hide your wights in deep water early in the game, and then try to maneuver your enemy so he is vulnerable.
Use fast units like Ghôls to rush and disrupt enemy projectile formations, allowing your slower units to advance in safety. Keeping missile units moving away from danger is a great way to neutralize them.
