Overview
Pearl of the East starts with a three-minute period of hostile attacks before base building can begin. Establish a Town Center and Castle after the opening, then use a broad food economy and Hussar production to withstand raids.
Plan and execution
Keep the starting Villagers alive through the initial attack window, then place a Town Center and gather stone for a Castle near the northern marsh and gold. Expand toward five Town Centers and a large Farm economy as the base stabilizes. Add Stables for Hussars and prioritize their and the Castle’s upgrades. Use Siege Rams against positions where Trebuchets are unavailable, while retaining a mobile force to protect exposed miners.
Risks and adaptation
Trebuchets cannot be trained in this scenario unless captured from Uzbek patrols. Gold mines are regularly attacked, so avoid relying on one exposed mining camp for the entire army.
