Liberation? Pandya Castle capture plan

Liberation? rewards rapid Castle captures: each fallen Pandya Castle transfers the nearby base and grants resources. Use siege to open several fronts while the navy protects fishing and denies enemy ships.

Overview

Liberation? rewards rapid Castle captures: each fallen Pandya Castle transfers the nearby base and grants resources. Use siege to open several fronts while the navy protects fishing and denies enemy ships.

Plan and execution

Queue Trebuchets early and send Rathas to handle small defending groups while the siege focuses on Castles. Keep enough ships to protect fishing and answer the Pandya navy; Bengali ships recover health over time, so disengage damaged vessels and let them repair between fights. Push from one Castle to the next and use each captured area to extend production toward the remaining objectives.

Risks and adaptation

The first phase can become harder if allowed to drag on, as Pandya attacks continue. Do not abandon the sea entirely, but avoid spending on Cannon Galleons for targets outside their effective range.
