CAMPAIGN · DEFINITIVE EDITION
His Own Man
Sforza seeks a territorial base of his own while Piccinino pursues him across Romagna. Use the relic to win control of coastal cities and recruit local forces, then strike Piccinino’s fortified position.

Overview
Sforza seeks a territorial base of his own while Piccinino pursues him across Romagna. Use the relic to win control of coastal cities and recruit local forces, then strike Piccinino’s fortified position.
Player approach
His Own Man is a chain of city captures that unlocks Ages and resources. Use the Relic transport to take Pesaro, then protect the foothold while opening a safe path to Rimini.
Step-by-step plan
Load the Monk carrying the Relic with a bodyguard and land by Pesaro’s Monastery to transfer the first base and unlock Castle Age. Build a small fleet and lure Rimini’s Fire Ship toward the new Watch Tower before sending ships and the transport to the second Monastery. Use the starting cavalry to collect neutral units while the cities are captured, then construct Trebuchets for the next target.
Risks and adjustments
Do not send the transport into Rimini’s harbor before the defending Fire Ship is drawn out. Keep the Monk protected and avoid scattering cavalry away from the city transfer objectives.
