here's a link to the old battle tactics manual CLICKY!
More info CLICKY!
And a quote from our emperor:
"The Golden Rule: KNOW YOUR BATTLEFIELD.
2. Know your enemies, their abilities, weaknesses and strengths.
3. Know your own abilities, weaknesses, and strengths.
4. Never guess or underestimate an enemies attributes.
5. Know where the nearest Ankh or Wandering Healer or Town is. Nothings worse than being unable to find the healers...
6. (this rule i still have lots of trouble with) Do your UTMOST to try and keep from attacking friendlies. Especially Pets. I really gotta work on that one myself...
COURTESY TACTICS
Golden Rule here: If someone helps you, you help them.
1. This goes for those that have rezzed you, cured you, healed you, returned looted items, led monsters away from you, and let you have loot they didnt want.
2. Do not attack a creature one hit to loot it after someone else kills it. this is extremely aggravating. "
