GUIDE · BATTLE STRATEGY
Yury’s Revenge ally-and-Castle race
Yury’s Revenge gives you Tbilisi while Ivane and Zakare hold smaller western bases. Defend both allies and destroy the Byzantine and Georgian Castles before their forces can surround the player.
Overview
Yury’s Revenge gives you Tbilisi while Ivane and Zakare hold smaller western bases. Defend both allies and destroy the Byzantine and Georgian Castles before their forces can surround the player.
Plan and execution
Build the economy in Tbilisi and send an early force toward the threatened ally who is closest to losing its base. Keep a second group in the capital to hold Yury’s approach. Destroying the enemy Castles causes those factions to surrender, so use siege to remove the Byzantines and Georgian Rebels quickly before turning on Yury. Keep the allies alive long enough to hold their fronts and use their units as reinforcement.
Risks and adaptation
If either ally falls, the remaining enemies can attack from several directions. The achievement timer is generous on Standard but tighter at higher difficulty; prioritize the Castle objectives over optional fights.
