GUIDE · BATTLE STRATEGY
Coordinating team-game pressure
Allied armies are stronger when they arrive together and cover one another’s weaknesses.

Overview
Allied armies are stronger when they arrive together and cover one another’s weaknesses.
Plan and execution
Agree on target and timing, combine complementary armies, use a shared reinforcement route, and retain a fallback point. Coordinate trade and relic defense.
Risks and adaptation
Late arrivals or fortified targets can break momentum. Scout first and reset together when the engagement turns unfavorable.
Decision example
A practical team attack starts with a shared target and a meeting point outside enemy vision. One ally can supply a durable front line while another brings Archers or siege, but both armies must arrive before either commits. Call out counter units as they appear and redirect the support line rather than letting each ally fight a separate battle. Leave enough defense at home for raids on trade and exposed resources. If the first breach fails, regroup at the same safe rally position and push only after replacements and siege have caught up.
