CAMPAIGN · THE LAST KHANS

Overview
Ivaylo enters Tarnovo amid a succession crisis and must establish control over the Church of the Patriarchs, the symbol of Bulgaria’s throne. Keep it safe through the enemy’s counterattack and decide how much to risk for the scattered Relics.
Player approach
An Unlikely Alliance is a timed Wonder defense. Hold the base first, keep the Wonder timer from running out when safe, and build a mixed army before attempting to claim the victory site.
Step-by-step plan
Move the starting force back to defend the base and use a Knight to reclaim the Wonder during quiet intervals. Build two or three Castles before clearing a nearby Monastery for Relics and extra gold. Train Pikemen with Archers or Elite Skirmishers against the enemy mix, then add cavalry for mobility. Wall the bridge toward the green base where possible, and claim the Wonder only when the army and nearby defenses can hold it.
Risks and adjustments
Do not send the Knight to the Wonder while enemy troops are nearby. Rams from the cyan opponent can break static defenses, so keep anti-siege units close and avoid committing the full army to Relic collection.
