The Rajputs early Town Center and siege plan
The Rajputs features several damaged Town Centers and a Portuguese force that can field gunpowder units. Repair key settlements early, then use protected siege to remove the Portuguese threat.
Overview
The Rajputs features several damaged Town Centers and a Portuguese force that can field gunpowder units. Repair key settlements early, then use protected siege to remove the Portuguese threat.
Plan and execution
Send Villagers to repair three of the four damaged Town Centers and escort them with Camel units against early raids. Choose a rapid siege option only if the approach is clear; Trebuchets with Elite Skirmisher protection are steadier than exposed Petards, but watch for Cannon Galleons in the river. Preserve wood if moving the base south, and prioritize the Portuguese production area before Bombard Cannons accumulate.
Risks and adaptation
A direct Petard raid can fail to ranged defenders if it wanders north near the water crossing. Trebuchets are vulnerable to naval fire, so approach with cover and keep a backup plan for the damaged Town Centers.
