Overview

Sun Ce begins his campaign to unite the lower Yangtze region. Choose a force suited to the challenge, gather support from nearby settlements, and defeat Liu Yao and Wang Lang to establish the Sun Clan’s foothold.

Player approach

The Conquest of Jiangdong begins with choices that shape the campaign’s free upgrades and hero roster. Select the starting army to match the preferred unit line, then rescue the captured Villagers before advancing.

Step-by-step plan

Choose ranged, cavalry, or infantry according to the upgrades you want automatically on later Age advances. Select Cheng Pu or Huang Gai for the campaign hero, then move toward the three White Tiger Yan camps southeast, south, and southwest of the start. Use the matching counter units to clear each garrison and free its Villagers. Once they join, establish production and prepare for the next faction rather than spending the full army in one camp.

Risks and adjustments

The army and hero decisions persist, so choose for the campaign rather than the opening skirmish alone. Camps contain mixed defenders; do not send the wrong unit line into a concentrated counter.
