I found something which may be interesting for people trying to get the most out of the game's strategies. These are charts published at the time, with the units' strength/weaknesses and counterparts. I remember having checked them in-game, fully patched, a few years ago - I think they're still relevant, even if they lack the extension units.

And some useful tactics:

Some tactics are very well hidden. Actually, some tips were suggested by the manual, even though they were "hidden" by a lot of very interesting background (the manual is really worth reading, it's more of a background story than a gameplay guide, by the way). For example, if you wait for the Blade Disciple to sharpen his weapons (it's an idle animation!), their next attack will inflict more damage. Some things might have been altered by patches, but most tips (like spearmen being immune to height effects when on higher grounds) are still relevant.
