Mongol Raiders flagged-building rush
Mongol Raiders is a timed objective rush: destroying one flagged building in each enemy base transfers most of its forces and resources. Use Subotai to activate the captured army and move directly between targets.
Overview
Mongol Raiders is a timed objective rush: destroying one flagged building in each enemy base transfers most of its forces and resources. Use Subotai to activate the captured army and move directly between targets.
Plan and execution
Identify the required building in each base and avoid fighting units or structures that do not block its destruction. Move Subotai near the blue flags to trigger each transfer, then rally the newly controlled force. Prepare immediately for the Cuman counterattack by upgrading the two Capped Rams and directing them at the eastern Castle, while the starting army screens the other approach. Add Trebuchets as soon as production is available.
Risks and adaptation
The Castle can be attacked as soon as a base changes hands, so do not leave the captured force idle. Chasing optional battles burns the mission timer and weakens the objective rush.
