Into China Great Wall campaign plan

Into China is a race to defeat four factions while Jin’s Wonder creates a hard deadline. A sustainable foothold and a reliable route through the Great Wall matter more than an early unsupported assault.

Overview

Into China is a race to defeat four factions while Jin’s Wonder creates a hard deadline. A sustainable foothold and a reliable route through the Great Wall matter more than an early unsupported assault.

Plan and execution

Use the starting Transport Ship to move the army east toward the Engineers’ island and secure the route to Siege Workshop access. Establish production where resources can support a continuing army, then gather siege to break the Great Wall or use a safe route around it. Keep scouting the Jin base and prioritize the Wonder threat while still removing the other factions’ ability to reinforce. Stage replacements close enough to maintain pressure, and protect the economy from recurring raids as the siege force advances.

Risks and adaptation

Do not spend too long perfecting an isolated island base: Jin’s Wonder can end the mission while you prepare. A direct assault without siege and reinforcements can strand the army at the wall. Balance defense against raids with the urgency of reaching Jin before the countdown expires.
