Overview

Sun Ce must turn nominal control of the south into a secure power base. Free five towns to gain villagers and infrastructure, withstand attacks from White Tiger Yan and Liu Biao, then destroy Yan’s stronghold.

Player approach

The White Tiger gives you an early window while Liu Biao delays its first attack. Use the starting army to reclaim southern villages and their infrastructure before building toward a Castle defense.

Step-by-step plan

Move the starting force south and liberate the village with the Town Center first, then reclaim the nearby Castle locations. Repair structures and use the transferred Town Center to expand the economy. Place a Castle near Liu Biao’s approach before its attack begins, and use the passive White Tiger Yan Rebels’ outposts as opportunities to gather additional resources and extend map control.

Risks and adjustments

Liu Biao begins attacking after roughly ten minutes, so do not spend the whole opening exploring. Protect the Town Center and Castle workers during repairs, and keep the Rebel faction’s passive behavior in mind.
