Ivaylo

Campaign mission sequence

Follow a peasant uprising and its challenge to the Bulgarian throne. Mission order and scenario notes: 1. A Most Unlikely Man — Ivaylo begins as a rebel leader defending a winter village from Tatar raids and rival Bulgarian nobles. Scout the countryside to gather scattered resources, then respond when the alliances shift and the struggle turns toward Tsar Konstantin 2. An Unlikely Alliance — Ivaylo enters Tarnovo amid a succession crisis and must establish control over the Church of the Patriarchs, the symbol of Bulgaria’s throne. Keep it safe through the enemy’s counterattack and decide how much to risk for the scattered Relics 3. Tsar of the Bulgars — Race to Drastar before its defenders fall, then hold the city against the Golden Horde. Break Nogai’s power by destroying his Great Tent and eliminate the rival Khans to bring their tribes over to Ivaylo 4. Echoes of Heroes — With Roman and Tatar forces closing in, guide Ivaylo through the mountain passes to reinforce the Bulgarian defenders. Convert or recruit help along the route, then escort him to Devnya while the camp holds out 5. Where the One-Eyed Man is King — Ivaylo escapes into exile and seeks an alliance with Nogai Khan. The journey has two distinct phases: break through Hungarian territory, then rebuild in a devastated village and fight the Polish and Genoese powers around the Black Sea
