The Golden City supply-route defense
The Golden City restricts Villager production and local gold and stone, making its supply wagons essential. Open the barricaded routes quickly and keep troops near each delivery lane so enemies cannot steal the wagons.
Overview
The Golden City restricts Villager production and local gold and stone, making its supply wagons essential. Open the barricaded routes quickly and keep troops near each delivery lane so enemies cannot steal the wagons.
Plan and execution
Use the starting Light Cavalry to scout and remove exposed blockers while preserving the ten Villagers behind the Old Tower’s protection. Clear the orange barricades to open supply routes, then station escorts where wagons enter the map. Expand the army from resources delivered by the wagons and secure the side of Prague needed for the next phase. If attempting the Zizkov Hill achievement, plan defenses around the tower before it is threatened.
Risks and adaptation
Every Villager is irreplaceable and the wagons are vulnerable when unattended. Do not push the whole force far from a newly opened route, and avoid wasting the eastern economy on a fight that yields no supply access.
