CAMPAIGN · DAWN OF THE DUKES
Courage and Coin
Žižka’s company fights alongside Polish and Lithuanian allies in a major clash with the Teutonic Order. Keep the Polish king safe while building an economy, then either defeat the enemy forces outright or strike down their three commanders.

Overview
Žižka’s company fights alongside Polish and Lithuanian allies in a major clash with the Teutonic Order. Keep the Polish king safe while building an economy, then either defeat the enemy forces outright or strike down their three commanders.
Player approach
Courage and Coin is easier to win by killing the three enemy leaders than by defeating both full armies. The Bohemians cannot build Castles or walls, so trade, towers, and bombardment form the defensive plan.
Step-by-step plan
Upgrade Pikemen to Halberdiers early and use them to stabilize the central fight while Houfnices prepare to destroy fortified leader positions. Expand gold through trade with either flank and use fishing near the green ally for food. Build towers and Bombard Towers along vulnerable routes, then pressure the three leaders rather than clearing every unit. Preserve siege for the decisive strikes and keep anti-cavalry units around it.
Risks and adjustments
The force-heavy deathmatch opening can overwhelm an unprepared economy. Do not rely on Castle or wall defenses that are unavailable, and keep Houfnices protected from mobile raids.
