Nirvanapada
Suryavarman faces a regional struggle amid monsoon conditions that limit heavy siege ships. Establish a secure economy, then either defeat three rival kingdoms or protect a Wonder until its countdown ends.
Overview
Suryavarman faces a regional struggle amid monsoon conditions that limit heavy siege ships. Establish a secure economy, then either defeat three rival kingdoms or protect a Wonder until its countdown ends.
Player approach
Nirvanapada can be won by defeating three major opponents or by completing a Wonder. Its two separated bases make the opening busy, so begin siege production immediately and remove nearby threats before expanding.
Step-by-step plan
Start Trebuchet production from the northern Castles, sending one toward the southern Cham and the other two against Hariphunchai. Use a fast unit to collect the southern Relic before Lavo’s Monk reaches it, and assign the central Villagers to a protected resource line. Decide early between the conquest and Wonder route: remove the closest enemy bases if they threaten both settlements, or stabilize the southern Town Center and secure the resources needed to build and defend the Wonder.
Risks and adjustments
The split bases make it easy to waste attention on both fronts. Keep the first siege targets and Relic pickup moving while assigning a small defense to each economy; do not begin the Wonder without the army and resources to protect it.
