Overview

A Promising Warrior begins with Prithvi and Chand Bhai moving from the Castle into an invasion, then offers an optional rescue that adds damaged soldiers. Preserve the healer and use the recruitment window to strengthen the force.

Plan and execution

Gather the starting Spearmen, Crossbowmen, and Cavalry Archers as Prithvi leaves the Castle, then defeat Bhimdev’s initial force before spreading out. If taking the optional northeast rescue, collect the surrounded soldiers and let Chand Bhai restore their health before joining the main route. Keep the hero and healer behind the frontline as the army moves south, and look for additional allied units that can join before the next major fight.

Risks and adaptation

Do not let the optional rescue pull the force into an unsupported flank while the invasion is active. Chand Bhai’s healing is valuable; protect him and avoid allowing Prithvi to lead into a concentrated enemy group.
