CAMPAIGN · VICTORS AND VANQUISHED
Xie An
Xie An must prepare the Jin defenses before Fu Jian’s forces attack. Balance the construction of a defensive army with pressure on rival generals, then survive the main assault and defeat Fu Jian without losing the Wonder.

Overview
Xie An must prepare the Jin defenses before Fu Jian’s forces attack. Balance the construction of a defensive army with pressure on rival generals, then survive the main assault and defeat Fu Jian without losing the Wonder.
Player approach
Xie An gives you 45 minutes to prepare before Fu Jian attacks. Use the opening for economy and Relics while the map is less contested, and secure the river transport before enemy pressure closes the routes.
Step-by-step plan
Start Villager production and send Monks to the island Relic and the one north of the Town Center before enemy attacks make them difficult to reach. Recover the nearby Transport Ship and use it to extend scouting and movement across the river. Collect the southern Relic once the Lumber Camp route is safe, then assign the army to secure the likely attack approaches. Use the preparation time to build production and defenses so Fu Jian’s arrival meets an organized force rather than scattered units.
Risks and adjustments
The 45-minute window can disappear into optional fights, so prioritize the economy and Relics first. The western Relic lies behind enemy camps and may require a later army; do not expose the early Monks trying to reach it.
