Once you spring your trap by the river use your cavalry to attack the enemy army while the Mangudai provides cover from the rear and away from the arrows and spears.

Forgot a Batu
Kill double the enemies as Batu when assaulting the bridge in the Battle of Mohi.


Mission 6. The goal is to kill 2x times more enemies as your ally that will cross the bridge either after the 15 minutes are up or after you flank them. Pick easy difficulty as you will not be having Batu's support so it will help.

After you build an army (f.e. 10+ Lancers and 40+ Mangudai) have a few villagers build two towers right in front of the bridge on your side of the river. Next, build a siege workshop right in front of the two towers. Here's the most important part. Before Batu Khan attacks, make sure you have built 3-4 Mangonels and have them placed on the bridge ready to fire. This will prevent Batu and his army from getting across the bridge. Make sure they are lined up and block access. If you want to test if the bridge is completely blocked before Batu attacks take a villager and try to have him cross. If done correctly the villager will keep zigzagging and not move past the Mangonels. You can either wait for the timer to go down or attack their flank when you're ready. While you get your kills, Batu will do nothing but watch on the other side of the river. Guaranteeing that you get way more than 2x the kills than he does.

Use special ability to extend trebuchets range temporary.

Midway into the fight, the round will end and you will have to take a small break by buying upgrades. Make sure you heal before heading back for the final round.

You will come up to another wagon with two more chests beside it. Pick these 2 chests up after dealing with the regiment.

Following the defeat of the Eastern regiment. Move your forces back South (down) and attack the central regiment from behind. Once defeated, go to the small village the regiment was attacking. You will find two more chests next to four houses. Collect these 2 before moving.

All Creek, No Paddle
Sink an enemy Transport Ship that is garrisoned to maximum capacity.


Teams: 1v1. Enemy Team: Intermediate or Above. Generated Map: Warring Islands. Starting Age: Age I. Map State: Revealed. Starting Resources: High

Once you're in-game quickly develop yourself and focus on getting a dock up and running ASAP! Once you have it you'll need to acquire a small armada of fighting ships to hunt the enemy transports down. The enemy ships state on them their capacity so use your fleet to hunt a transport with 16/16. With the higher difficulty AI they will often send ships across the water to your island full of their troops and they are easy to sink.

Having a Blast
Destroy 5 enemies with a single Demolition Ship detonation.


Wait enemies transport to land troops on your island and kill them with Demolition Ship or kill a transport with 4+ units on it .

Wololottery
Assume control of 25 units in a single conversion.


Pick Rus. Build multiple religious units, pick relics and try to mass convert large group of enemies. Pretty hard with bots, they run away when you start doing it. Converted sheep counts too.

Requires at least 167 games. Good luck.
