Viva Sforza Milan-economy strike
Viva Sforza gives an early tribute and nearby Relics, then rewards destroying Milan’s Town Centers in sequence before finishing its Castle. Use mobility to disrupt production while the economy expands.
Overview
Viva Sforza gives an early tribute and nearby Relics, then rewards destroying Milan’s Town Centers in sequence before finishing its Castle. Use mobility to disrupt production while the economy expands.
Plan and execution
Train a Monk immediately and collect the two nearby Relics, then boom with several Town Centers and claim additional mines. Use Cavaliers or Condottieri to hit Milan’s Town Centers, since each one destroyed weakens the faction’s military and the third leaves its units badly compromised. Once the economy is damaged, escort Trebuchets to the Castle and protect them from Savoyard reinforcements with anti-cavalry support.
Risks and adaptation
Do not expose Trebuchets before Milan’s production is sufficiently weakened. Relic routes pass near enemies, so protect the Monk and build enough army to cover both the resource expansion and the siege.
