Regicide
Protect your King while seeking to eliminate the opposing monarch.
Overview
Protect your King while seeking to eliminate the opposing monarch.
Mode rules and player priorities
Protect your King while seeking to eliminate the opposing monarch. Before planning the opening, identify the mode’s special win condition, starting rules, and restrictions; these determine whether economic growth, map control, survival, or direct combat should take priority. The standard random-map plan may not fit a mode that changes starting units, technology, or the way victory is awarded.
How to use this reference
Protect your King while seeking to eliminate the opposing monarch. Each player has a King whose survival is essential. Protect the King from scouts and raids while using the opponent’s exposed King as a high-value target; losing it can decide the match regardless of the remaining army.
