The Grand Dukes of the West

Campaign mission sequence

Navigate dynastic conflict and Burgundian power in western Europe. Mission order and scenario notes: 1. A Kingdom Divided — John the Fearless marches to crush a revolt outside Liège, then faces a changing objective as the siege reaches the city. Raid nearby settlements for supplies and disrupt the rebel camps before the defenders can sustain their resistance 2. The Wolf and the Lion — Clear the mercenaries from Île-de-France to establish a base, then decide how to break Bernard d’Armagnac’s alliance. Capturing villages, hiring English troops, and securing Relics each provide different ways to build momentum 3. The Cleansing of Paris — Lead John’s army through an occupied Paris before the English advance closes the window for action. Open the bridge route across the Seine, gather local support where practical, and reach Bernard inside the city 4. Unholy Marriage — Philip the Good must overcome two powerful rivals while shaping the politics of the Low Countries. Win military support from Namur and Cambrésis to strengthen your economy and open another front against Jacqueline and Humphrey 5. The Hook and Cod Wars — Philip pursues Jacqueline into the factional conflict of Holland while Humphrey threatens from across the water. Break Jacqueline’s fortified towns to win; the optional early defeat of Humphrey earns a challenge achievement and removes a continuing naval threat 6. The Maid Falls — Philip begins the siege of Compiègne by securing Choisy as a forward base. Protect the Burgundian foothold, then breach the city and defeat Joan; taking out the southern French army first completes the mission’s optional challenge
