Renunciation river defense and Khan conversion
Renunciation begins beside a river, making a Dock and warships useful against raids. The Huna Khans can be converted or defeated, while Pratihara diplomacy offers another route to weaken the hostile force.
Overview
Renunciation begins beside a river, making a Dock and warships useful against raids. The Huna Khans can be converted or defeated, while Pratihara diplomacy offers another route to weaken the hostile force.
Plan and execution
Build a Dock early and patrol likely crossings with warships, then wall river passes where land units can cross. Scout beyond the base for stone, which is not available at the starting site. Use Rathas and Battle Elephants against the Huna army while Monks convert the Khans to take over their force and base. Accept the Pratihara alliance if it helps create another front, then use the combined army to clear the remaining objectives.
Risks and adaptation
The river defenses do not replace ground protection, and stone must be gathered outside the starting base. Keep Monks behind the army and protect them while converting the Khans.
