Overview
A roaming diplomacy-and-combat scenario. Each tribe sets a different task, such as bringing sheep, defeating a rival, recovering a Relic, or hunting a wolf; meanwhile, the Kara-Khitai are hostile.
Player approach
Crucible asks you to persuade four tribes while Kara-Khitai attacks. Secure the Kereyids first with a sheep tribute, then use their Monk to retrieve the Ungirrads’ Relic.
Step-by-step plan
Collect nearby Sheep and bring twenty to the Kereyids to recruit their Monks and Cavalry Archers. Send a Monk for the Ungirrads’ Relic and complete the next tribe requests while the mounted force screens the routes. Use the four starting Light Cavalry and Cavalry Archers to repel Kara-Khitai raids, adding recruits from allied camps as they join.
Risks and adjustments
The sheep are scattered across the map and are needed for the first alliance. Gather them before losing access to the nearby herds, and protect the Monk carrying the Relic.
