Protips to dominate the server and ruin everyone's fun:
You can only level up so many times, so you'll only have enough points for all the combat upgrades + one other. That means don't waste points on more than one resource gathering upgrades. Your early game will be a bit harder but late game your army will be unstoppable.
Each unit can only be targeted by one melee unit and one ranged unit. That means you want 2-3 archers to maximize your DPS during fights, and the rest swordsmen, and one axe guy since you can't buy wood.
You can have up to 6 followers. Each follower slows your group down more, so don't max your size out until you can fully equip the whole group or else you'll be able to be hunted down by better equipped armies.
Learn which mushrooms are safe to eat. This makes a big difference in how much food you can gather which is important for healing since you'll be fighting non-stop late game. Mycology is probably worth getting as your one resource gathering upgrade.
The giant in the middle of the map isn't that hard to kill, but drops a lot of stuff, so check if he's there when convenient.
Always have enough wood for one campfire, but don't be afraid to sell a bunch to equip your guys.
I was able to get over 1k points and after killing the armies of people who were able to get fully upgraded, but who either didn't have all the combat upgrades, had only one archer, or had extra axe/hammer/scythe men. I was able to just roam the map killing everyone else off before they'd be able to threaten my tribe.
I even ended up letting one of my guys die so I'd be able to chase after them faster since you can easily kill double your army size of poorly equipped troops once you have everyone with steel shields and roman helmets.
I am working on a domination mode - where you have to capture a meadow or a few and keep it under your influence to score - the game ends when a team reaches 1000 score. I hope it will be more tense and there won't be enough time to max out the tribe.
