CAMPAIGN · THE AFRICAN KINGDOMS
Razzia
Al-Ghafiqi begins with a veteran army but no settled economy. Raid the nearby villages for supplies and the resources needed to establish a base, then build up strength to defeat Bordeaux and the Frankish forces.
Overview
Al-Ghafiqi begins with a veteran army but no settled economy. Raid the nearby villages for supplies and the resources needed to establish a base, then build up strength to defeat Bordeaux and the Frankish forces.
Player approach
Razzia is a sequence of monastery raids where Frankish Paladins arrive after each objective. Clear one target at a time, claim its reward, and return to camp before the pursuit catches the army.
Step-by-step plan
Upgrade the starting force if the difficulty and resources allow, then begin with the eastern village that is farthest from the base. Destroy its Monastery and withdraw as a group when the Frankish force starts moving toward it. Repeat for the central village, return to camp again, then clear the remaining western Monastery. Once all three are removed and the transport with Villagers arrives, use it to establish a safe foothold and transition from raids into the larger campaign objective. Collect Relics only when the route does not compromise the retreat timing.
Risks and adjustments
The army’s strength comes from staying concentrated; a few units left behind can be caught by the pursuing Paladins. Cannon Galleons are unavailable, so do not plan a naval siege around them. Avoid turning the monastery objective into a full conquest before the scenario’s next stage is ready.
