CAMPAIGN · DAWN OF THE DUKES

The One-Eyed Wanderer

Jan Žižka begins as a mercenary captain raiding the estates of Heinrich of Rozmberk. With no villagers and a small force, take over settlements or loot their stores, intercept supply convoys, and build enough strength to storm the fortified castle.

Overview

Player approach

The One-Eyed Wanderer has no player economy, so captured Bohemian villages provide the resources needed for the final stages. Preserve the settlements and use the enemy’s announced attacks to manage retreats.

Step-by-step plan

Attack the nearby village immediately and defeat its occupying force so its peasant income transfers to you. Prefer sparing villages rather than burning them, then use the growing resource flow to sustain the fixed campaign army. Push offensively while the Union forces are away, but pull back when Heinrich announces an attack and regroup before moving to the next village. Keep the force together so the income-producing sites remain covered.

Risks and adjustments

Burning a village trades future resources for an immediate military effect and can leave the army short in the final minutes. There is no fallback economy or defensive base, so do not leave captured villages exposed to a counterattack.
