A Kingdom Divided Castle and gunpowder plan
A Kingdom Divided on Hard difficulty offers time to boom before Liège attacks. Use the eastern stone for a second Town Center and Castle, then remove the Rebel camps’ Gunpowder Stores to reduce their unit mix.
Overview
A Kingdom Divided on Hard difficulty offers time to boom before Liège attacks. Use the eastern stone for a second Town Center and Castle, then remove the Rebel camps’ Gunpowder Stores to reduce their unit mix.
Plan and execution
Build a second Town Center near the eastern stone and raid the northern and southern villages for their resources. Wall the starting position and place a Castle by the new Town Center, leaving Knights ready to remove Rams. Continue expanding while striking the Rebel Supply Camps; destroy their Gunpowder Stores first so Organ Guns and Hand Cannoneers stop appearing. Use Cavaliers to clear camps, watching for Pikemen, then take a larger siege force toward the final city.
Risks and adaptation
Liège begins attacking after a delay, but the first Castle must be ready before the raid. Protect gold miners and do not send Cavaliers into Pikemen without ranged or siege support.
