Overview

Tamerlane has half an hour to build an economy, weaken Ottoman supply camps, and win over wavering auxiliaries before Bayezid’s attack. After holding the battle line, march on the Ottoman fortress and Smyrna to end the campaign.

Player approach

A Titan Amongst Mortals opens with pressure from Bayezid but allows a fast economic buildout. Place four Town Centers, then raid supply camps to gain units and useful Blacksmith upgrades before the main attack.

Step-by-step plan

Assign four Villagers to each of four Town Center foundations near woodlines, while balancing additional workers toward food and wood. Group melee and ranged cavalry separately and clear the western auxiliary camp and Ottoman supply camps. Return to the base to defend, then take the eastern camp whose Blacksmith provides Bracer and Ring Archer Armor. Add a hidden gold Mining Camp once a Villager can reach it safely.

Risks and adjustments

Four Town Centers demand a large early wood investment. Keep enough wood income to sustain Villagers and Houses, and avoid sending cavalry to a camp before the rest of the group can support it.
