Divide and Conquer two-base resource plan
Divide and Conquer asks you to destroy Zaragoza’s and Narbonne’s Castles while managing two bases with different resources. Use the western base for gold and stone, the eastern base for wood and Farms, and contest the sea before risking Fishing Ships.
Overview
Divide and Conquer asks you to destroy Zaragoza’s and Narbonne’s Castles while managing two bases with different resources. Use the western base for gold and stone, the eastern base for wood and Farms, and contest the sea before risking Fishing Ships.
Plan and execution
Assign the western Villagers to gold and stone while the eastern base supplies wood and food. Build Galleys first to screen enemy navies, then add Fishing Ships only when the route is safe. Collect the accessible Relics as the army moves, and push toward the two required Castles with siege protected by infantry and cavalry. Keep the two economies producing complementary resources so one siege front does not exhaust both bases.
Risks and adaptation
The enemy navies can punish unescorted Fishing Ships, and Cannon Galleons are unavailable. Do not send the full fleet into a direct exchange; secure a route before relying on sea food or transport.
