Your starting position lies in the far south of the island. From this position you should
spread out as follows:You should start off by
building a medium residence on the grasslands of the peninsula extending eastwards into
the sea. This can be followed by 3 woodcutter's huts, a sawmill and 2 stonecutter's huts.
As soon as the first settlers have left the residence, you should adjust the proportion of
carriers in the menu to 35%. The rest of the new settlers should be converted into
pioneers. At the same time you can begin with the construction of a second medium
residence. Have your pioneers concentrate on expanding your territory to include the
mountain on your northwestern border. Your geologist will discover deposits of iron ore
and coal there (as shown on the map). Build some mines, an iron smelting works, a weapon
smith's works and a tool smith's works. The construction sites for these are best located
in the upper middle area of your territory.
As soon as your second residence is complete, convert a
majority of the new settlers into pioneers and continue to expand your colony. The entire
coast in the south is filled with fish so you will have no problems building up your food
production. Now it is time to build your first large residence.
Continue your building with 2 meadmaker's huts and a
small temple - a larger temple a little later. On the small peninsula extending westward
into the sea you can build a forester's hut and 3 beekeeper's huts.There should also be
enough room there to build 2 farms, a grain mill and bakery. And don't forget to build the
2 waterworks you will be needing.
You are now ready to begin expanding your territory to
include the larger heart-shaped mountain to your north. There you will find all the
minerals you'll need. Build 2 sulfur mines, 2 gem mines and 2 alchemist's dens.
Promote your soldiers now. In this mission (Update 1.51
or higher) you don't have to rely so much on your bowmen for defense. At the beginning you
should recruit 50% bowmen and 50 % spearmen, later only spearmen and swordsmen!
There you go! Start your attack...your opponent should be
no longer be a problem! |
