Overview

The Emperor’s Fury begins with a retreating Hussite army and no Villagers. Break the encirclement, reach the northern allies, then dismantle the scattered Crusader camps to recruit peasants and grow the army.

Plan and execution

Place Hussite Wagons in front of the starting force to absorb archer fire and defeat the encircling troops. March north to the allied city and claim the transferred buildings. Use the recurring Hussite resources to maintain production, then attack the ten highlighted Crusader camps one by one; each cleared encampment brings new peasants into your army. Protect the regenerating siege weapons and use them to remove fortified positions.

Risks and adaptation

There are no Villagers to repair siege, so preserve the engines and withdraw them between fights. Do not spread across several camps at once while the Crusader groups remain active.

Focus
Use Hussite Wagons as a screen and clear camps for reinforcements
