Overview

Tamerlane arrives in the Levant with a field army but no settled economy. Capture a nearby village, secure Relics and new sources of income, then earn the required gold by raiding the cities and trade routes that sustain the region.

Player approach

Scourge of the Levant begins with an army and Fishing Ships but no settled economy. Capture the Gaia Town Center immediately, protect its Villagers, and use the scenario’s building rewards to replace spent resources.

Step-by-step plan

Send one Light Cavalry to claim the Gaia Town Center and put Fishing Ships on food. Protect the new workers as enemy attacks begin, then train a Transport Ship to move a Monk to the western island Relic. Use another Light Cavalry to locate the Mining Camp and its Relic. Raid exposed Markets, Docks, Town Centers, or Monasteries when the army can withdraw safely to gain resources for reinforcements.

Risks and adjustments

The captured Villagers are vulnerable as soon as the Town Center changes sides. Do not transport the Monk without naval cover, and avoid raiding a fortified building with an army too small to escape.
