Fights in the East | Roundheads versus Cavaliers Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide

The key to victory is to seize the first line of defense.

Your objective now is to destroy the enemy base in the right corner. This is a typical mission of developing your base and recruiting an army. Over the river, there are three fortresses, where you can train horsemen and artillery, after you seize them.

First, go right and you will encounter villagers along your path. They will talk to you about manners and if you respond in kind, they will join you later on. After you arrive in the settlement by the bridge, you will find out about villagers imprisoned to the West. You have forces sufficient for eliminating the abductors. From now on, you can start developing your base and collecting resources.

Keep developing your settlement until your economy and military level are sufficient.

Start by mining for all the resources, especially for gold. You will need it later on to pay your mercenaries and your officers. Remember that the first forts are relatively cheap and they provide you with quite a few living places. Start training your troops - a team of 200 pikemen and around 50 musketeers should be enough for the first attack. In the meantime, you will be proposed to hire mercenaries for 3000 gold. The team is not too big, but they will provide you with a reinforcement.

After you seize the central fort, you will gain access to cannons.

In this mission, you can follow several of the game's suggestions that are helpful this time. Attack the central front first. Begin by dispatching riflemen and pikemen right after them, who you order "move and attack". Your armored infantry will deal with defenders and musketeers will deal with remnants. From now on, you have cannon casting shops and more barracks. During the fight, you should also seize the opponent's cannons. You can use it now to attack the forts on the sides. The only difficulty here are towers with guards. You can start raking them as soon as you get close enough and units turn orange. You will receive more production buildings. Apart from infantry in high numbers, also train a team of around 50-100 horsemen, e.g. Cossacks.

Prepare for the final attack. The entrance is being guarded by a team of musketeers and there also are several towers on the hills. First, lay fire on the towers and position your army in the attacking formation. Due to the position of fortifications, they can mainly be reached with artillery. If you have a high number of infantrymen and a team of horsemen, there is o need to rake them. Destroy the front guard with your soldiers and reach a tower with the horsemen and seize the howitzer. After you have destroyed the defenders, it is the time for the final attack.

The final attack can be quite problematic, due to the high number of defenders. If the forces that you have used are lower than 500 men, wait and train more soldiers. In the meantime, bombard barracks. As soon as you have cleared the city, remember to destroy all of the production structures and seize mines. Then your victory will be complete.
