Battle Match ups
I will list a few of strong points and weak points for some units.
Camels and Heavy Camels: Strong vs about all other cavarlry, but weak to Infantry and archers
Knights,Cavalies, and Paladins: High attack,good for almost any battle, and good armour,good vs Archers and good for attacking siege weapons afar. Weak vs Mamelukes and Pikemen and Camels.
I will list more soon, but you can read about weakness and strong points in your guide book.
Some Battle Tips
If you dont care about other units, just so you can win, then you should try to make as many Knights as possible, because there really strong and fast. Also,you should create a big number of your unique units. This will come in handy. Also, to have some fun you can make a large army of Archers and be almost invincible!
Starting tips!
This If you start out with just three villagers and a town center and a scout. (the normal) I start out with one villager making 2 or 3 houses while 1 starts cutting down the trees by the town center. The last one should herd in the sheep close by your town center.Then make about as many villagers as you can with your food. Evenly, sort out your new villagers back to food gathering and wood gathering until you have enough villagers to gather stone and gold.When you build it would be wise to build out a little ways out of the town center so enemys will have a hard time reaching your main part of town.
In Early times of your game you should start making cheap archers, just to get enough time to get to the better soiders. If you have "All VISABLE" or "MARCO and POLO" and you see your enemys with little or short amouts of buidings or soiders dont take them as a weak enemy because they can start armys and attacks any time! If you start out with many reasources then you could research stuff that will help you gather reasources faster!
Invincibility
While you are playing a single player game press the enter button. This will bring up a chat box.While in the chat box type 7 days until you die. Then press enter button again to enable this cheat. This will make your units and buildings take no damage and will not die.
Get The Stone
Press "ENTER" then type the letters: rock on. You only need to type "rock on" and you will receive 1000 stone.
Free Ally
When you build a market, there is a chance that a rival tribe will ask you to send them a certain amount of wood, stone, gold, and food. When they do, click on "Diplomacy" or press Alt + D and click "Ally" on the name of that tribe. They will become an ally free of charge. However, when you do this you will no longer be able to align yourself with any other tribes. This is helpful if there are four tribes in the game.
Fast Resources

Press Enter to activate the cheat. Press Enter again, then press Ctrl + V to paste the word on the screen for activation. Repeat to get resources quickly. This may be used with the rock on, robin hood, cheese stack jimmy's, and to smithereens codes.
More Bases Advantage
To have a better chance of winning, you might want to build more than one base. Enlarge the base you start out with, making it completely fortified with at least two castles. Then, send a scout cavalry, or some other fast moving unit, to the opposite side of the map from your base. After you have checked the area and confirmed that it is safe, send a villager to build a castle at that location and fortify that base. This is very helpful if your enemy knows where one of your bases is located, especially during online play.
Detroy buildings
If you press ''DEL'' while you have selected a building or unit it will be utterly destroyed (this doesn't work with the enemy)
Machine Gunners
For this cheat your must have CREATED a map with at least one SHAH on it. (to create a shah, go to heroes and press "S". Then, play the map and select your sha, bring it over to an enemy unit / building (preferably a house) and right click on that object. The shah will begin attacking it! The only drawback is that the shah has very little attack.
