The Hautevilles

Campaign mission sequence

Chart the Norman family’s ascent across southern Italy and Sicily. Mission order and scenario notes: 1. Guiscard Arrives — Reunite Robert’s scattered Norman band, then choose between striking out independently or serving a regional power. Expand your control through baronies and villages before defeating the Lombard or Byzantine rival 2. Roger in Sicily — Roger’s campaign for Sicily begins with a political choice over his Arab ally. Subdue the island’s rival rulers to take their towns, while Relics can help stir resistance against their control 3. Bohemond and the Emperor — Bohemond leads a small expedition into Byzantine territory with a tight population limit. The Byzantine armies recover while their military buildings remain, so dismantle their production network and defenses before taking on the three generals 4. Bohemond in the East — After the capture of Antioch, defend its remaining fortifications against Kerbogha’s siege. Once Alexios arrives, either survive until Kerbogha withdraws or take the fight to his army; Relics provide gold because the mission has no Villagers 5. Wonder of the World — Roger II must unite and defend his Sicilian kingdom against a web of rival powers. Win by completing a defended Wonder or by defeating or allying with every faction; diplomacy, exploration, and captured enemy technologies open different ways to manage the large map
