Overview

Chand Bardai spreads Prithviraj’s legend by persuading four rajas to join the cause. Choose a starting town, bring the remaining rulers over, and use the expanded realm to withstand Ghorid raids and defeat the three rival kingdoms.

Player approach

The Legend of Prithviraj requires defeating three major opponents while limiting expansion to converted Rajas’ Town Centers. Capture rulers deliberately because each one grants a set of free technologies and buildings that can shape your army.

Step-by-step plan

Stabilize the starting settlements and protect the Town Centers that anchor the economy. Convert accessible Rajas to unlock their free upgrades and additional Town Centers, then choose a unit line that matches the technologies gained. Use Relics to supplement income and avoid stretching the army across all three enemies at once; remove the closest or most threatening faction first, then shift production toward the next front.

Risks and adjustments

The scenario restricts additional Town Centers and Cannon Galleons, so a standard boom or naval siege plan will not work. Raids may take settlements before your army can respond; protect the most productive base and use each conversion’s reward before committing to a distant attack.
