Broken Stelae resource-flag network
Broken Stelae turns the map’s stelae into resource points: clear each flag, then leave a unit nearby or control returns to Gidajan. Secure the nearby village and build a force that can hold the markers while expanding.
Overview
Broken Stelae turns the map’s stelae into resource points: clear each flag, then leave a unit nearby or control returns to Gidajan. Secure the nearby village and build a force that can hold the markers while expanding.
Plan and execution
Use the starting transports to establish the coast and clear the village around the first two stelae. Divide the army into a capture group and a guard force, keeping at least one unit beside every claimed flag. Prioritize the markers that provide the resource currently limiting production, then use Fishing Ships along the coast for safe food income. Raid Gidajan’s Monasteries only when the army can protect the approach, since their destruction provides a large one-time gold reward.
Risks and adaptation
The stelae produce income only while guarded, so capturing too many at once can leave the whole network unprotected. Wood is scarce and the Gold island is exposed; scout before sending Villagers or transports away from the main force.
