CAMPAIGN · DAWN OF THE DUKES
Algirdas and Kestutis
Resist the Teutonic Order and expand Lithuanian influence.

Overview
Resist the Teutonic Order and expand Lithuanian influence.
Scenario details
Resist the Teutonic Order and expand Lithuanian influence. Mission order and scenario notes: 1. Family Affairs — Algirdas and Kestutis unite against their brother Jaunutis and the rival prince Narimantas. Choose whether to bring villages into the Christian or pagan fold, and aid Kestutis against the Teutonic raiders to gain extra support for the fight over Lithuania 2. No Man’s Land — Algirdas and Kestutis fight on two separated fronts: one against the Teutonic Orders, the other to bring Ruthenian cities under Lithuanian control. Break the cities’ Monasteries to make them submit, then turn against the Castles holding the western crossings 3. The Tatar Yoke — Algirdas leads a fixed army to seize Kiev while Kestutis manages the economy from a separate allied city. Secure Kiev, protect your brother, and then break the Golden Horde’s three forces; destroying their Docks and commanders can ease the campaign 4. A Worthy Opponent — Rush to save Mikhail of Tver, then build a base for the wider campaign against Moscow. Rather than assault the Kremlin, disrupt the Muscovite supply network; local cities can be brought onto your side through their own objectives 5. In the Shadow of the Throne — Jogaila’s loyalists race a ransom cart through bandit country to free him from Kestutis. Once at liberty, Jogaila must navigate a struggle between his father’s allies and choose a refuge and political partner before reclaiming a Lithuanian stronghold Use the named objectives, starting setup, and mission order in this entry to distinguish it from the standard skirmish rules.
