Belgrad Must Fall | Generalissmus Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide
Last update: 17 October 2016
This mission also includes a large battle, but you won't have to focus on base building. Start with taking over the northern fort, and then travel to the other bank. You'll have a large amount of units at your disposal, so until you won't waste them on unwise actions, they will suffice. Remember that before attacking the fortress, there will be a Turkish counterattack from the southern edge of the map. Then you can safely attack the fort.
Use your grenadiers to attack the towers, and then command your cavalry to rush to the inside of the fort. After a while, you'll receive transport ships and artillery set that will be useful during the siege. You'll also receive ships that need to be sent to a small sea battle on the river. Load your soldiers and transport them to the other bank. Remember that during unloading the formations will automatically be dissolved, so you will have to organize your units again. You can use a small trick and exploit the map a little. Don't load the final unit (no matter which). Send your ships to the west, and destroy the enemy fleet. In the meantime, transfer your units to the second bank, preferably in the place where they appeared.
If you proceed near the road, you'll find few unmanned cannons. Reinforce your artillery with these additions. Approach the Belgrade walls. Place the infantry and cannons so they destroy towers first, then walls, and finally as many enemy infantrymen as possible. Now proceed with the rest of your forces. Destroy the inside of the fortress by bombarding everything that is in your sight. This way, you'll avoid unnecessary manpower losses. You don't have to destroy towers around the fortifications.
Remember that leftover unit on the other side of the river? It's time to take them back. The game will inform you that you need to wait for resources - currently you don't have any coal or iron. Use this moment to set your defense south of the fort. Set the musketeers in a long line, with pikemen right next to them. The cavalry and cannons should be placed at the back, while mortars should be placed on the musketeers' line.
First you should receive the notification about the supplies - you should prepare for a counter-attack. After a while, you'll receive another message, but this time about Turkish forces on the bottom of the map. But you are prepared for them. The infantry should hold the front, while the cavalry should be sent to places with more enemies. If you haven't lost any major manpower, you shouldn't have any problem dealing with them. Congratulations, you've managed to get rid of the Turkish threat!
