Joan of Arc Capaign

2. Orleans

Objecitves: Protect Orleans and destroy a British castle.

In this scenario you start out with a sizeable force. Start out and follow the past to teal. A group of purple knights will try to stop you but there no match for you. After dispatching them double back to the yellow moanstery to get healed up and the proceed to teal's base and pick up reinforcements. Here assign your knights to one group, archers to another, and trade carts to a third.

Proceed east on the path with your groups. When you hit the gold mines, leave the path and head north. You'll find a dock and some transport ships. Ferry your people across the river and enter Orleans.

Here proceed to castle age after dropping off the carts. Use your knights to fend off attackers and garrison your archers in the towers. After advancing, send villagers west and find farms. Set up a towncenter and crank out some villagers. Set some to mine the gold south of the farms and the stone to the north. Build a castle near the flag in the northern spot of the base.

Assemble a small team of villagers and knights. Load them on the transports and take them back to the yellow base where you started. Just north of it and south of the orange castle pull out a full military base. Wall yourself off. Build manogels to knock out the towers but leave the walls intact. Get your knights and some rams together. Then breach the walls and storm the southern orange castle. Once its totaled you win the scenario.

As far as I know, the southernmost orange castle is the easiest to storm. Red's ones are too highly defended by longbowmen. The other orange one has knights and monks.
