Overview

Tamar defends Tbilisi against Yury and his new allies. Protect the Monument while the two Zakarian brothers hold separate fronts; capturing enemy Castles transfers their bases to those allies and gives them room to counterattack.

Player approach

Yury’s Revenge gives you Tbilisi while Ivane and Zakare hold smaller western bases. Defend both allies and destroy the Byzantine and Georgian Castles before their forces can surround the player.

Step-by-step plan

Build the economy in Tbilisi and send an early force toward the threatened ally who is closest to losing its base. Keep a second group in the capital to hold Yury’s approach. Destroying the enemy Castles causes those factions to surrender, so use siege to remove the Byzantines and Georgian Rebels quickly before turning on Yury. Keep the allies alive long enough to hold their fronts and use their units as reinforcement.

Risks and adjustments

If either ally falls, the remaining enemies can attack from several directions. The achievement timer is generous on Standard but tighter at higher difficulty; prioritize the Castle objectives over optional fights.
