CAMPAIGN · THE AGE OF KINGS
Pax Mongolica
Defend Ogedei’s base, then find a route across the river after the bridge is destroyed. Hungary can win by Wonder, so attack before the countdown becomes critical.
Overview
Defend Ogedei’s base, then find a route across the river after the bridge is destroyed. Hungary can win by Wonder, so attack before the countdown becomes critical.
Player approach
Pax Mongolica begins with a 40-minute defense objective, but Hungary destroys the bridge after five minutes and starts a Wonder race. Use the calm opening to develop quickly and prepare an alternate crossing.
Step-by-step plan
During the first minutes, expand the economy and fortify the bridge funnel so the initial Magyar army must attack through a controlled approach. Scout the partially frozen river for a safe crossing route before Hungary destroys the bridge. Once the Wonder threat begins, move the army and siege to the closest viable crossing and focus the Hungarian Wonder before continuing to the required Castles and Town Centers. Use Subotai’s arriving force as support rather than the entire victory plan.
Risks and adjustments
The expected reinforcements are small and arrive too late to solve the Wonder timer alone. Do not spend the opening only on walls; secure an alternate route and enough siege to cross and attack once the bridge is gone.
