Overview
Raden Wijaya’s revolt creates an opening for a new Javanese kingdom, but both local rivals and the Mongol expedition threaten the island. Capture villages to expand your army, disrupt Kediri’s supply route, and decide when to turn against the Mongols.
Player approach
The Story of Our Founders ties population capacity to conquered villages and makes several siege engines irreplaceable. Expand the cap by claiming villages, protect each spawned Watch Tower, and use the northern base and river island to establish a safe economy.
Step-by-step plan
Clear a village’s defending tower, then escort a unit to its remains so your own tower appears and raises the population cap. Keep Pikemen near captured towers to deter cavalry and Battle Elephants, while ranged troops cover them from distance; houses can block easy melee access where the ground allows. Open the wood north of the starting base to reach more room and gold, and use the island mines as a protected source. Train a Monk for the accessible Relic, then recover the remaining Relics only when the route is safe. Keep the unique Trebuchet and Siege Rams behind the army and commit them only against objectives that unlock real progress.
Risks and adjustments
The scenario limits construction options and replacement siege, so an exposed tower or lost engine can permanently narrow your choices. Do not spread the army across villages without leaving a defense for each tower. The player remains in the Castle Age; plan around available upgrades and gathered equipment rather than an Imperial Age transition.
