The Rescue

The Rescue is the second scenario of Act II: Ice. John Black and Kanyenke must protect the small Iroquois village and Nonahkee from a British attack.

The Level
You start off with a Town Center south of the British base, and a Trading Post and an Outpost to the north. The British base is well fortified, and getting inside will take some time. Unfortunately, they will keep attacking the Trading Post, complicating matters.

Build up your base, getting a good flow of resources. Building on the other Iroquois Trading Post sites will give you access to more native units, and some Experience when you finish the bonus mission. Pick up all treasures you find, before the British Explorer does.

When the British are approaching the Trading Post, send some units to attack their walls, then retreat when their armies come for you. Keep them busy while your resources are coming in. After some time, the British are likely to run out of resources in their base, and will send Settlers out to gather. Kill these Settlers to weaken the British.

Setting your Home City arrival point at the northern Outpost will allow you to send Mercenaries to the village, making defense a lot easier.

When you have a large force and some artillery, break down the British walls and destroy their town.
