Overview
Land Battle is a counter-unit test where one casualty can invalidate the gold medal. Read the incoming army, select the correct response, and draw enemies toward elevated ground.
Plan and execution
Check the unit information before each selection and choose counters for the current wave. Keep the force together and let enemy groups climb toward high ground so your units receive the terrain advantage. For the final Spearman and Skirmisher wave, use Skirmishers with Men-at-Arms to answer both types while protecting the formation.
Risks and adaptation
Every unit must survive for the top medal. Do not chase a damaged enemy into bad ground, and avoid choosing a composition that leaves either final unit type unanswered.
