Player approach

E3 2019 Demo is a timed Definitive Edition preview scenario with a large starting army and abundant resources. Build a short economy, upgrade the force, and avoid spending the fifteen-minute window on the heavily fortified Japanese base until the army is ready.

Step-by-step plan

Add Villagers and Farms while researching useful Blacksmith upgrades immediately. Use Arbalesters behind cavalry or Halberdiers, or a Paladin and Elite Cataphract mix, to clear nearby enemies efficiently. Scout the Japanese cliffs early and bring enough siege and ranged support to remove the Keeps guarding the approach. Keep the army moving so the countdown is spent on objectives rather than regrouping.

Risks and adjustments

The scenario gives a short victory window even though its year counter is much longer. The Japanese Keeps make a direct unsupported assault slow; prepare the composition and siege before committing.
