Relic control
Use Monks and a protected route to collect Relics, then secure them inside Monasteries for a continuing gold supply. Scouting and army control help prevent the opponent from intercepting the Monks or taking the Relics back.
Overview
Use Monks and a protected route to collect Relics, then secure them inside Monasteries for a continuing gold supply. Scouting and army control help prevent the opponent from intercepting the Monks or taking the Relics back.
How to execute the plan
Use scouting to locate relics and identify the safest route to a Monastery. Clear the approach with military units, send Monks under escort, and return relic carriers before chasing the next objective. Recheck the battlefield after large fights for dropped or newly exposed relics.
Risks and response
A lone Monk or carrier can be intercepted by cavalry or ranged focus fire. Keep vision on the return path, preserve enough army to screen the Monks, and stop contesting a route that your force cannot hold.
