Overview

O Fortuna starts with Condottieri and relies on the Milan Market for resources. After gaining Paladins and a foothold in Piacenza, the objective is a targeted raid on Tuscany rather than a siege of Florence.

Plan and execution

Use the Market to balance the early economy and collect the Paladins outside Milan. Sail to Piacenza, secure its Stables and Blacksmith, then build a mobile force for the countryside. Destroy the required twenty-five buildings, including the four Town Centers outside Florence, while avoiding the heavily defended city itself. Regroup for the later embarkation toward Cremona once the raid objective is complete.

Risks and adaptation

Entering Florence turns its defenders hostile and exposes the army to a costly fight. Track the building count and stay in the countryside; preserve transports and cavalry for the next stage.
