Summarize the following:
In Empire: Total War, there are two types of nations: Major and Minor. Minor nations usually only have one city, but can still field impressive armies if given enough time. Find the Minor nations nearby your starting point and mark them as your first targets. If you give the minor nations too much time to build up their armies, they can pose serious threats and significantly slow down your expansion. You can use Minor nations as a way to grind for more XP for your troops. Keep attacking the single city, letting the nation rebuild between each attack. This will provide you constant, easy targets for your armies. If there are no enemy armies nearby, you should almost always attack an undefended city. Even if you only have a few units, your soldiers will have an advantage over the garrison guarding the city. Attacking and sieging cities is a much more effective way for dealing with opposing nations instead of meeting their armies on the field. If the city is defended by nearby, besiege the city with a large army. Use other troops to engage the nearby armies, or let them attack your besieging army. In either case, you will have the advantage over the enemy, and will split their forces. When attacking a city, make sure you have the force necessary to take it and use the Auto-Resolve option. The computer will give you a higher advantage than normal. If the enemy comes out of the city to attack your siegers, play the battle manually. If any enemy attacks one of your cities, play the battle manually as well.

summary: Take out minor nations first. Attack undefended cities.

Combine 2 cups (500 ml) cooked freekeh with 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil and 1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice. Toss well to evenly coat all the grains in the oil and lemon juice. Before starting this recipe, the freekeh should already be cooked using the microwave or stovetop method described in this article. Make sure that it is drained well and somewhat cooled so that it is no longer steaming hot. You will need about 1 cup (250 ml) uncooked freekeh for this recipe. Add the chopped parsley, mint, basil, and green onions to the freekeh. Use a mixing spoon to stir these ingredients in, distributing them evenly throughout the dish. Combine the tomatoes with the freekeh and other ingredients in your mixing bowl. Toss well to mix. At this point, you should also season the tabouleh with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well after your initial addition, taste, and add more as needed. You can add more herbs if desired, as well. Loosely cover the dish and let it sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. This step will cause the flavors to combine better. It will also give the salad a chance to cool to room temperature. If you want this dish to be served cold, you can also let it stand in the refrigerator. Spoon servings into individual serving dishes and enjoy. Add more salt and pepper, if desired.

summary: Toss the cooked freekeh with oil and lemon juice. Stir in the herbs and green onion. Add the tomatoes. Let stand. Serve.

As your horse moves, your pelvis rocks forward and backward in synch with the horse's movements. Your pelvis will naturally match your horse's gait, but you can alter your horse's speed by keeping your pelvis in position and adjusting your pelvic movements. Angle your pelvis slightly forward. Try to maintain your center of balance, and don't lean too far forward or you may get disoriented. You can try using vocal commands with your horse, but they work best when a horse has come to associate those words/sounds with a complementary action. However, some words (like "woah," "easy," and "back") are easily understood by horses due to frequent exposure. If you want your horse to respond to a verbal command like "faster," you'll need to train your horse by saying "faster" while you squeeze or gently kick the horse's sides. Be aware of your tone of voice. The tone you speak in is at least as important as the actual words you say to your horse.
summary: Keep your pelvis tilted slightly forward. Consider trying vocal commands.
