* When you begin, upgrade your [[village hall]] to [[capitol]] and purchase the [[resource silo]] as soon as possible. You will need the extra income, trust me.

* Build up your mage guild quickly too. Magic almost always decides a battle, since it almost always is more powerful than creatures.

* A mite, but not an enemy, very charming, no enmities: If you don't have the resources to run that one town you need the troops from, let the enemy capture it and spend all their resources building it for you, then when they least expect it, take it back with minimal force. Losses are 500 (basic city) over 1000 (with [[Town Hall]] building) over 2000 ([[City Hall]]) gold to 4000 gold  ([[Capitol]] city, losing the [[Capitol]] to the enemy destroys the 10k gold [[Capitol]] building) each day and the added costs of recapturing the town - but the [[Resources]] needed for better buildings might even be harder to come by and you want that high level unit buildings to be built in the long term, why not let the enemy built them.

* Stack division and conquer: flanking has its uses, [[Cyclops]] and  [[Genie]] units with their casting or castle wall damage feature work '''without considering the unit amount''' of the stack , so [[Cyclops]] that have damage castle walls as a special will get one castle wall attack per [[Cyclops]] stack (or even advanced [[Ballistics]] and thus two shots when the stack is a [[Cyclops King]] stack), the number of [[Cyclops]] in the stack is not relevant and [[Genie]]s will get their usual allotment of spells without regarding the stack size too - one [[Genie]] and his utility spells is as important as 100 considering spells that they can cast - as opposed to [[Faerie Dragon]]s that use damaging spells that depend on the amount of units the stack has. [[Genie]]s are level 5 creatures, a [[Cyclops]] is a level 6 creature, both are a little bit faster than level 1 or 2 units in general - and those tend to die off easily midgame so the open places in the army of the hero are not actually wasted given utility spells on worthwile creatures or faster sieges and additionally higher level creatures also tend to move faster on the adventure map.

It is one of the mind spells, and therefore some creatures are immune to it.

Bug: The property of Forgetfulness to reduce the melee damage of troops with ranged attack is more like a bug, because neither in the description nor in the manual it is said about it. Also, a log error is associated with this, which does not take into account the reduced damage from Forgetfulness.
