Overview

Le Loi’s early rebellion depends on scattered villages and two powerful Vietnamese families. Free the occupied settlements while protecting both allies from Ming patrols; the remote Holy Artifact offers an additional reward.

Player approach

The Dai Viet Uprising is lost if an ally falls, while the player’s own base receives little early pressure. Invest in the economy first, then reinforce the threatened allied towns directly.

Step-by-step plan

Begin with food, wood, and stone rather than a large army. When the blue attacks begin, send two Villagers along a safe route into the allied settlement and build a Castle, Stable, and Barracks there. Train Pikemen and Light Cavalry to deal with rams and raid groups, and tribute resources if an ally needs help producing units. Once both allies are secure, add Battle Elephants and Rattan Archers before attacking the required towers.

Risks and adjustments

The roads are patrolled by Ming forces, so escort builders and avoid a lone Villager trip. The northern ally needs more help; do not split support evenly if one town is under heavier pressure.
