Overview

The White Tiger gives you an early window while Liu Biao delays its first attack. Use the starting army to reclaim southern villages and their infrastructure before building toward a Castle defense.

Plan and execution

Move the starting force south and liberate the village with the Town Center first, then reclaim the nearby Castle locations. Repair structures and use the transferred Town Center to expand the economy. Place a Castle near Liu Biao’s approach before its attack begins, and use the passive White Tiger Yan Rebels’ outposts as opportunities to gather additional resources and extend map control.

Risks and adaptation

Liu Biao begins attacking after roughly ten minutes, so do not spend the whole opening exploring. Protect the Town Center and Castle workers during repairs, and keep the Rebel faction’s passive behavior in mind.

Focus
Claim the Town Center and Castle sites before Liu Biao attacks
