Overview

Fight through river and lake blockades to escort five supply ships to a temple site. Losing a shipment ends the mission, so clear or cover each route before the convoy arrives and prepare for a final assault on the Wonder.

Player approach

Langshan Jiang is a naval landing mission where a small Villager transport reveals a Trebuchet and a useful gathering site. Move the engine through the marsh positions to remove towers while the fleet secures the water.

Step-by-step plan

Clear only enough enemy ships to protect the opening move. Send the Transport Ship with Villagers to the right-hand shore, gather the nearby gold and wood, then load the Trebuchet and supporting soldiers for the small marsh landings. Destroy the towers and clear nearby defenders. Establish food income, Monks, and a Market, then convert enemy ships and repair your fleet with Villagers before choosing the next landing route.

Risks and adjustments

Do not expose the transport while the initial ships remain active. The Villagers are your only early economy, and the Trebuchet needs an escort against scattered defenders.
