If you don't know what Metal Knights is, then go to the Metal Knights Homepage (how did you get here anyhow?).

        Actually, this is more of a philosophy and strategy page than a "tips" page, but "The Mokeman's Metal Knights Philosophy and Strategy Page" wouldn't fit and isn't quite as catchy a title. The purpose of this page is to give people who have an interest in improving their game a great deal of information on what the best players of the game are thinking when they play they game. Hopefully, there will be as much in here about right thinking, community and allied spirit and sportsmanship as information on mastering the game (and how to avoid it mastering you). Also, much of it may seem to be statement of the obvious if you already know what you are doing. However, keep on slogging through. Perhaps there is something in my sea of discourse that can help even a bright spark like yourself.

        I've attempted to order the links below according to their relevance to each other. Obviously, anything that is relevant to all kinds of play is put together under "All Play". Anything that is relevant primarily to play in individual games is put together under "Individual Play". Anything that is relevant only to play in Allied games is put together under Allied Play.

        I must qualify this page by saying it is very much a work in progress. I'm starting off with what I consider the most important and easy to explain aspects of the game and working my way through to the least important and most difficult to explain. As such, the links with a * next to them don't have anything worth reading so far. As you may have discerned from the hit counter at the bottom of this page, I have been working on this whole project since at least 29/05/98. I expect it will take a fair while longer to get the whole thing done. Furthermore, I can not promise to be the absolute authority on everything. Everything here is only my own opinion that has held me in good stead through all the games I have played (there are quite a few kinds of maps that I have never really gotten into).

Rimfire's Strategy Page

        If you want to be able to read this web site offline, then I suggest you download a zip file I am maintaining that contains all the pages in this site... Simply download it, open it a folder of its own and then open up the index.html file with your browser. Easy isn't it? Note that I didn't include the example pictures in this file. They triple the size of it, so I figured I best leave them out.

        Useless trivia paragraph. Would you believe that so far I have typed over 33,500 actual words for this page so far? I'm kind of surprised my self. Some novels don't go much longer than that ;)

        A plug for the best place in the game to learn new strategies and tactics: Wef's Metal Knights BBS Pages! Also, a plug for my favourite alliances web page (mine coincidentally). Go visit the Otakings Alliance web pages (hurrah for the mighty Otakings).
