Overview

A diplomatic convoy must cross hostile territory to deliver a ceremonial chariot to the Andaman port. Choose two military escorts, seek help from local settlements, and guide both the Envoy and the cart to safety.

Player approach

A Dangerous Mission lets you choose two soldier groups before a naval insertion. The southern dock is safer than the northern route, and the Envoy can absorb damage while regenerating.

Step-by-step plan

Choose the Battle Elephant and Ballista Elephant groups for a durable landing force. Move southwest to the Dock, clearing threats along the route, then load the army into the two transports. Use Heavy Demolition Ships and the Fast Fire Ship against the enemy fleet before landing. Keep the Envoy in front to draw damage while the elephants and ranged support deal with defenders.

Risks and adjustments

The northernmost direct route is heavily defended. Moderate and Hard difficulties lack a Monk, so avoid unnecessary damage and rely on the Envoy’s regeneration between fights.
