Of Castles and Kings mason escort
Of Castles and Kings is won by protecting the Villagers who build each Castle. Trigger each construction site deliberately and use the faster cavalry group to intercept threats while the rest of the army escorts the masons.
Overview
Of Castles and Kings is won by protecting the Villagers who build each Castle. Trigger each construction site deliberately and use the faster cavalry group to intercept threats while the rest of the army escorts the masons.
Plan and execution
Separate cavalry from the slower Longbowmen and infantry. Move a small trigger unit to activate the next foundation only after the army is positioned, then screen the Villagers as they build. Use the appropriate counters against attackers and keep Longbowmen focused on high-threat units. At the final Castle, cover both northern and southern approaches before starting construction.
Risks and adaptation
If every Villager at a foundation dies, the mission is lost. Do not activate the last site before its two approach routes are defended, and keep cavalry from outrunning the escort.
