Overview

Defend the starting Wonder while building a force capable of penetrating the Kara-Khitai territory. The nearby Tayichi’ud can be won over after their army is defeated.

Player approach

A Life of Revenge is won by killing Kushluk, while the Great Tent Wonder must remain intact. Capture the northern Tayichi’ud camp to expand your force before advancing on the Kara-Khitai.

Step-by-step plan

Set the Tayichi’ud to neutral before entering so your army does not attack its Villagers and buildings. Defeat its military to gain the camp, then use the nearby food sources and advance through Feudal and Castle Age. Build a Castle or towers to blunt enemy raids, gather the Relics when routes are safe, and move the combined force toward Kushluk. Keep a dedicated defense near the Great Tent while the main army attacks.

Risks and adjustments

The Wonder is a loss condition, so leave units or fortifications near it instead of committing the entire army north. Food is limited near the camp; scout the deer and sheep before starting prolonged production.
