CAMPAIGN · DAWN OF THE DUKES

The Emperor’s Fury

A Hussite force must break out of Kutná Hora as the crusaders close in. Reach the northern allies, then use their city and reinforcements to dismantle the separated enemy camps and defeat Sigismund and Zawisza.

Overview

Player approach

The Emperor’s Fury begins with a retreating Hussite army and no Villagers. Break the encirclement, reach the northern allies, then dismantle the scattered Crusader camps to recruit peasants and grow the army.

Step-by-step plan

Place Hussite Wagons in front of the starting force to absorb archer fire and defeat the encircling troops. March north to the allied city and claim the transferred buildings. Use the recurring Hussite resources to maintain production, then attack the ten highlighted Crusader camps one by one; each cleared encampment brings new peasants into your army. Protect the regenerating siege weapons and use them to remove fortified positions.

Risks and adjustments

There are no Villagers to repair siege, so preserve the engines and withdraw them between fights. Do not spread across several camps at once while the Crusader groups remain active.
