Sforza

Campaign mission sequence

Rise with the mercenary captain Francesco Sforza through the conflicts and alliances that shape Renaissance Milan and northern Italy. Mission order and scenario notes: 1. Mercenaries and Masters — Sforza and Piccinino are sent to retake Brescia, but Venetian troops overrun the city. Break out with a surviving soldier, regroup at the southern mercenary camp, then join Piccinino’s assault to reclaim Brescia 2. His Own Man — Sforza seeks a territorial base of his own while Piccinino pursues him across Romagna. Use the relic to win control of coastal cities and recruit local forces, then strike Piccinino’s fortified position 3. Prodigal Son — Sforza’s return to Milan and marriage to Visconti’s daughter turn Piccinino into a determined rival. Establish a self-sufficient base around the Alpine lake, raid exposed supplies, and defeat Piccinino’s fortified army 4. Blood and Betrayal — Sforza changes sides and leads Milan’s campaign against Venice, including a confrontation with his cousin Micheletto. Cross the river, capture a forward foothold at Cremona if useful, and destroy the three Castles controlling the valley 5. Viva Sforza! — Sforza lays siege to Milan while Savoyard forces threaten his camp and Malatesta’s Venetian alliance remains temporary.
