Pilgrims civilization and naval strategy
Pilgrims rewards civilizations that can reveal the mainland, survive the water route, or clear wildlife safely during a migration. Use civilization bonuses to make the first landing more reliable.
Overview
Pilgrims rewards civilizations that can reveal the mainland, survive the water route, or clear wildlife safely during a migration. Use civilization bonuses to make the first landing more reliable.
Plan and execution
Use Korean Line of Sight to scout the mainland before choosing a landing, or Magyars’ Villager bonus to remove Wolves without exposing a separate escort. Japanese or Viking naval strengths can help hold the crossing and protect Transport Ships. Establish a compact economy at the first safe mainland site, then expand only after the route can be defended.
Risks and adaptation
A civilization bonus improves the approach but does not replace naval cover or a safe beachhead. Do not transport the main economy until scouting reveals a landing that can be held.
