Overview
Three powers race to control the sacred city of Kannauj. The Monument drives a King of the Hill contest, while its owner receives a steady resource income; repair the city’s Monasteries and complete the military side tasks for additional advantages.
Player approach
Desire is decided by holding the Monument when the timer expires. Take it early for the resource stream, but keep a fast group ready to reclaim it if another faction captures it near the deadline.
Step-by-step plan
Send the Scout to the Monument immediately and use its income to accelerate the economy. Add Rathas or Battle Elephants while scouting the Pratihara approaches, then contest the Monument before the opponent secures a lasting hold. If an enemy takes it, preserve cavalry and Rathas for a timed return rather than committing the entire army too early.
Risks and adjustments
The player only needs control at the final moment, but waiting until the last seconds risks being unable to dislodge the holder. Keep an escort near the Monument and watch for a counterattack as your force moves away.
