You Too Can Stop the Bears:
You know that those dumb bears start a chain reaction - first they kill your people, then your popularity goes down, then you don't have anyone to defend your castle and then the enemy kills you. Well, just build a wooden fence around the bear to solve the problem.

Help Increase Popularity:
If you have at least fifty gold, bribe them as much as possible, you don't lose very much money and your popularity greatly increases. Just don't forget later about the bribe, as your account could diminish.

Defending Your Castle:
Hit the archers & trebuchets first before anything else. Surround your walls with moats. Be sure you have enough stones to repair your walls. Make some forces to counter attack. Make a lot of hunters, they will aid in defense.
