Capturing Zhangjiakou

At the start of the mission, you will need to plan out your attack on the enemy camp. To do this, you will need to send 2 Scouts to investigate the area.

Follow the path through the mountains, but watch out for wolf packs. Once you reach the top, you will be attacked by a small squad of spearmen, but your Scouts should easily escape them. Continue along the path until you've climbed all the way down.

Select your entire army and surround the enemy camp. Don't forget to pick up the gold chest along the way.

First, send a squad of archers to eliminate the enemy infantry stationed at the foot of the mountain. Then raze the guard tower and lure the rest of the enemy units out into the open.

After defeating the city defenders, immediately destroy the Fortress in Zhangjiakou. Burning down the enemy buildings will earn you resources: food, wood and gold.

Destroy the rest of the buildings in the city to complete the optional task and collect 2000 resources.

Founding a settlement

After looting the city, Citizens will arrive with their caravans. Move them within the walls and put up tents.

First, set up the Town Center and put Pastures next to it. To do this, select one of the caravans and then click on unpack.

Set up the Ger tent next to the gold mine by the woods. Then build the Landmark to move on to the next era. Hire a few locals to slaughter sheep, work in the mines and cut down trees.

Set up the Ovoo tent on the quarry, then build a Blacksmith next to it and set up the Barracks tent. Each military tent placed next to the Ovoo will receive a bonus to units produced. The Blacksmith's tent will unlock more upgrades for the army.

Once you reach the 2nd era, build the Stables and the Archery Range. Buy all the available upgrades for your troops and hire more Horsemen.

Destroying villages

After setting up tents and founding the settlement, enemy troops will begin attacking you. The next mission objective will be to stop the raids by destroying 3 of the nearby villages.

Start producing new military units and place them on the eastern side of the settlement. Send a Scout to explore nearby areas.

Create a mounted troop consisting of regular horsemen and archers and set out for the enemy's western village. Send the archers first and try to lure the enemy infantry out of the city. Then dispose of the rest of the enemy army and burn down all the buildings.

Produce additional military units in the Stables and head north to the camp. Along the way, you will come across a Market where you should hire some Traders and create a new trade route.

You may encounter a small Chinese army detachment along the path. Defeat all enemies and go off the path. Head east and attack the village from the side of the gold mine.

Set out for the final village. Defeat the city's defenders, composed of cavalry, infantry and archers. Burn down all the buildings and pick up the chests with gold by the Market.

Destruction of Yanqing

After stopping the raids, you will be able to loot Yanqing with ease.

Move your entire army east and attack the nearby town, defended by a handful of infantry and archers. Then burn all the buildings in Yanqing.

After razing the city, pack up the military tents and move them near the bridge. Produce new soldiers and prepare to conquer the Great Wall.

Breaching The Great Wall

The final mission objective is to breach The Great Wall of China. Build some battering rams and siege towers, group your troops and head east.

You may encounter small squads of spearmen and archers along the way to the wall. Your infantry should easily dispose of these enemies. When you reach the top, use the battering ram to destroy the 2 guard towers.

Attack the spearmen who will jump out at you from behind the wall and immediately send in the battering rams to destroy the gate. After breaching the wall, eliminate the survivors and burn down the Juyong Fort.
