Hi
I will try to explain/show to anyone reading this guide some basics about controls and rules of Oldage: Tactics Online.
I will try to keep up with in game changes and update often.

The youtube videos included aren't my but of developers of this game.

<< LOBBY >>
-In lobby you can :
> Find Matches
> Find Ranked Matches [ after you have atleast 10 units ]
> Buy Units , Skins and Coins
> View your ranking
> Chat with friends/other players

-On the right side you have your rooster with all your units.
> you can add them in to match QUEUED UNITS by clicking at them
> you can DISSMIS unit by draging it to the DISsMIS UNIT slot, you will lose the unit and if the units have skin it will be lost too, in return for some gold { for 33% of the bought price }

-On the bottom is your QUEUED UNITS slots
> you must add units there before starting match
> a minimum of 2 units of which 1 must be ROYALTY unit
> you can also position your units by draging them to the corresponding slot they represent in space where your units will start.

PS: Will add pictures

<< BASICS CONTROLS >>
- In combat each player get to act in their turn.
- Each turn is limited by time limit
> each player have also SAFE TIMER [ your total time dont get taxed when you manage to finish your turn befeore it runs out ]
- The game ends if one of the players kill the enemy's royalty unit, or one of players surrenders or if the time runs out.
- In each turn players get to execute 3 actions
- Players have to chose an action by clicking on its button or selecting shortkey (1,2,3) and then clicking on an unit that player want to use and preform action by dragging unit to the target.
- Players can also skip their turn or remain actions by clicking skip button
- Players can surrender by clicking surrender button in the options menu

- Each unit have set of 3 different action commands represented by its colour:
> MOVE [blue] - moves your unit [ each units have different movements]
> ATTACK [orange] - makes offensive action [ each unit have their own attack, and attack range]
> DEFENSE [green] - makes defensive action [each units have some special ability]
- Each unit can only make each action once in players turn. [ same unit cannot move/attack/defend twice in one turn, but players can move, attack or defend with multiple units in one turn ]

Each map is different and each of them have their different pros and cons, but every map have some repearing elements:

>BUSHES<
- Unit that ends its turn in bushes becomes in next turn invisible to other player.
- Besing invisble also grants 1sqm. movement bonus

>WATER<
- Slows unit movement
- Units can move just 1sqm. into the water.
- Unit that moves from the water tile to land tile can move on full movement range.

>TREES<
- Well they are just trees, they block unit movement and attacks

>SPECIALS<
- Some maps have hidden objects that when unit steps on restores 1 missing health.
>>Beach map (7x7) -Starfish
>>Swamp map (7x7) - Lilypads
>>Forrest map (11x11) - Piles of wood
>>Desert map (11x11) - Piles of bones

Each unit have their remaining actions and health represented on the window above them.
- The blue, orange and green lights represent remaining actions that an unit can preform.
- The red lights represent the units remaining health.

> If the unit's health is reduced to 0 health it becomes a corpse
--> corpses block unit movement
--> corpses can be moved by attacking them, they will be pushed at direction of attack, they can be pushed even by diagonal attacks.
--> corpses dont block atacks, so players can attack or deffend units positioned behind or next to it.
--> corpses can be revived by bishop
