Overview
Arrival at Bari (HD Edition) is a naval landing mission that begins with Panos at a Byzantine port. Recover the available ships, escort the land force to Louis II, then dismantle Matera before advancing on Oria.
Plan and execution
Board the Byzantine Transport Ship and gather the Gaia warships and transports encountered at sea. Land the ground army safely at Emperor Louis II’s camp and follow his briefing. Send the five-hit-point Messenger toward Matera’s gate to trigger the next stage, then focus the army on clearing Matera and destroying its non-House buildings. Regroup after the Arab counterattack and move toward Oria, clearing its defenders before speaking with the local lord.
Risks and adaptation
The Messenger is extremely fragile and the gate is covered by defensive fire. Keep the ships together during the crossing, and do not leave the siege force scattered when the Arab army arrives.
