Ayn Jalut opens with a defensive fight and a fifteen-minute timer for allied reinforcements. Use Baybars to draw enemies into a prepared position, then boom within the mission’s population cap.
Overview
Ayn Jalut opens with a defensive fight and a fifteen-minute timer for allied reinforcements. Use Baybars to draw enemies into a prepared position, then boom within the mission’s population cap.
Plan and execution
Kite the enemy groups with Baybars while the other units focus them, drawing pursuers toward the northern Castle if needed. After the threat is removed, take control of the village and its Town Center, Monastery, Market, and Castle. Produce Villagers toward a compact economy, gather the abundant Sheep and Gazelles for Mamelukes and upgrades, and add Monks to heal the army while the allied arrival timer runs.
Risks and adaptation
The population limit is 100, so avoid excess Villager production. The player can build only Farms and resource drop sites, making the captured village infrastructure essential.
