Overview
Seize The Mountain starts players on small islands in shallow water, with the central mountain holding valuable resources behind wooded slopes and narrow approaches. The objective rewards both naval access and control of a land choke.
Plan and execution
Secure a Dock and protect the first Transport Ship, then scout which side of the mountain offers the safest landing. Land enough troops to hold a beachhead, clear the wooded approach, and bring miners only after the crossing is controlled. Use the choke to defend the resource site while the fleet protects reinforcements.
Risks and adaptation
A transport without naval cover can lose the whole expedition. Do not send miners before clearing the narrow route or fight uphill into a prepared force without siege and reinforcements.
