Description

Tang Invasion, 663 AD

The defeat of the Scilla armies 100 years ago brought relative peace to the Korean peninsula. The Yamato have been able to benefit from trade in this area and your influence has expanded. A new threat has appeared, however. Chinese armies of the Tang Dynasty have penetrated the peninsula from the north.

Win the battle to become the greatest Yamato leader and launch the Yamato as a world power.
—In-game section

Starting conditions

Objective

  • Destroy the Tang.

Hints

  • Use the narrow shallows to your advantage.
  • The Tang have fielded a massive army. Create a large force of your own -- it will be your only chance.

Players

Player

  • Player (Yamato): The player starts with a small army and base in the south-eastern land mass of the map. Few troops guard the shallows of the river which lead the center land mass.

Enemy

  • Kyushu (Shang): The Kyushu start with a large army and base in the north-western land mass and their towers guard the shallows of the other river river as well as all resources of the center land mass.

Player

  • Player (Yamato): The player starts with a small army and base in the south-eastern land mass of the map. Few troops guard the shallows of the river which lead the center land mass.

Enemy

  • Tang (Shang): The Tang start with a large army and base in the north-western land mass and their towers guard the shallows of the other river river as well as all resources of the center land mass.

Strategy

The Kyushu have a larger base and several units, so start gathering resources to defend yourself.

Age up as soon as possible, as Heavy Cavalry and Horse Archers should comprise most of your armies. Your initial infantry forces will make good cannon fodder while your real army is being trained.

The map is divided into three parts, separated by shallows: your side to the south, their side to the north, and the central part. Take control of the central part quickly by destroying their towers with Stone Throwers, and killing their units - there's lots of Gold and Stone Mines there, so get those resources before they do. Sentry Towers and Horse Archers can protect your Villagers while they work.

When you have a large, upgraded army, start attacking one side of their town, and destroy everything until you've reached the other side.

History
