Overview

Jogaila prepares the Polish-Lithuanian alliance for its decisive clash with the Teutonic Order. Spend the preparation period capturing Prussian towns, disrupting enemy strongholds, and arranging support; then lead the reinforced army into the Battle of Grunwald.

Player approach

The Fruits of Her Labor has a twenty-five-minute preparation phase before the final battle. Attack Prussian infrastructure while building a Castle and supporting Vytautas’ simultaneous pressure.

Step-by-step plan

Send the starting army west to capture the first Prussian town as Villagers gather stone and other resources. Train reinforcements and send builders to place a Castle outside the central stronghold. Coordinate with Vytautas against two Prussian Town Centers, then target the remaining Town Centers and Trade Workshops to reduce the enemy economy before time expires. Keep scouts on patrol routes and reinforce the Castle site whenever Teutonic units appear.

Risks and adjustments

The patrols can strike builders anywhere, so escort Villagers and avoid leaving the Castle foundation unprotected. The timer rewards parallel actions; a single large army walking from target to target wastes the preparation window.
