Overview
Four standalone single-player scenarios introduced with Knights of Cross and Rose. They focus on individual moments involving the House of Lancaster and the Knights Templar, with performance medals and optional Conqueror challenges.
Mission objectives
Select a battle from the Proving Grounds, complete its mission objectives, and replay it to improve the medal result or attempt the Conqueror challenge.
How this mode differs from a campaign
Historical Battles are four independent Proving Grounds scenarios, not chapters in a continuous campaign story. Their objectives recreate a focused battle or defense, and performance medals reward completion quality as well as victory. Optional mission conditions can activate Conqueror Mode, which raises the challenge. Select Agincourt, Towton, Safed or Montgisard for its objectives and battle-specific advice.
