POWERMONGER (?) (?)

Instruct your captain to invent something, pause the game, put the game speed up to full, and wait a couple of minutes. Now unpause the game, the captain will have kept inventing during the pause. When you wish to invent in double quick time, click Invent and when your men leave, click on it again. This often makes a catapult immediately. This cheat works only once on each island.

These aren't really cheats, but some things the manual was rather unclear about or didn't mention at all. First of all, when inventing, it is often helpful to zoom in all the way on the towns (or anywhere for that matter). It makes things go faster, and your inventions will be done sooner. Also, in order to get a captain on your side, find a town with a captain in it. He'll be the guy in the cape, usually standing in the middle of town. Next, set your aggression level to Passive. Then go and attack the town. Make sure you can beat them first! If you attack on Passive, your men don't kill anyone, but rather forcibly coerce them into joining your side. If you win, you will get everyone in the town on your side, including the captain.
