Overview

Kotyan leads the remaining free Cumans through Moldavia while Subotai’s Mongol force bears down on them. Rally Girgen’s tribe, defend a temporary settlement, and free the captured camps before leading Kotyan to safety in Hungary.

Player approach

Saving the Huts on Hard demands a strong economy before frequent cavalry attacks intensify. Expand Villager production and secure the Castle that protects the base before spending heavily on optional forces.

Step-by-step plan

Start the first six Villagers on Sheep, add wood workers, then expand food gathering toward fourteen and wood toward eight before shifting more workers to gold. Buy the first hundred stone for a second Town Center near the northern gold. Use the later resource tribute to reach Castle Age, then invest in the large stone requirement for the second Town Center and Castle. Research Murder Holes and shift workers to wood and food as nearby gold runs out.

Risks and adjustments

Stone purchases and the Castle compete with Age advancement. Keep enough Villagers on food and wood to sustain production, and do not wait for the cavalry attacks before securing the defensive Castle.
