The Queen in the Panther’s Skin

Overview
The mission has a preparation phase across Persia followed by a decisive battle. Each liberated city adds resources; supply depots and enemy strongholds can weaken the armies waiting at the end. Choose Armenian support or extra supplies before fighting the Khwarazmian force and its Castles.
Player approach
The Queen in the Panther’s Skin has a twenty-five-minute preparation phase followed by a new army tasked with destroying five Castles. The first army is lost at the transition, but researched technologies and stored resources carry over.
Step-by-step plan
Use the first phase to liberate Persian cities, which increase population space and provide recurring resources. Destroy Supply Depots to weaken the enemy economy, and complete secondary objectives that meaningfully strengthen the next force. Avoid training a large army that will vanish; instead spend on permanent technologies and savings. In phase two, build a siege-supported force and attack the five Castles in a deliberate sequence.
Risks and adjustments
The first army does not transfer, so do not invest heavily in units near the transition. The timer is strict; prioritize objectives that weaken the second phase instead of trying to clear every enemy building.
