On Hospitaller Service | Dawn of the French Fleet Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide

Last update: 17 October 2016

Now you will face a series of missions in which ships and land battles are important. The only problem is related to controlling the ships and positioning them. Some naval units are shooting in a similar way as cannons - they must have a clear field and no allied units can stand in their way. Yachts are eager to destroy each other if they swim in a tight group. Try positioning a line of small and medium ships and behind them the long range units, for example a ship of the line.

The situation on the map is as follows: Your port is in the upper left corner of the map (1) - it's a French property. Your first objective is to reach the island of the Order of Saint John (2). You will participate in a patrol mission and you will have to destroy enemy galley. After a short battle the captain of the ship will ask you to deliver a message to Spanish people (3). When you swim into their port, one of the merchants will ask you to escort him. You will receive a few additional ships. Load the merchant on the transport ship and swim to the Venetians' outpost (4). At the shore you will encounter a few enemy yachts. Once you deliver the merchant, you will receive a new task - defend the Venetian city on the east (5). In the meantime an enemy fleet with a transport of invasive forces will be sent from the enemy fortress (6). The second enemy city will remain idle towards you until you swim too close (7).

Send your infantry forces to defend the city and your fleet between the island of the Order and the Venice city. Then move down. The enemy will have heavy ships, but you should have more boats. Despite that, you might fail to destroy all enemy ships on time. In that case you must order your land army to destroy the enemy on the land - watch out for the artillery. The cannons will shoot down your ships if they are too close.

Now you will be ordered to scout the coast with the stronghold and the Berbers' port. Swim around the coast with the yacht and go to the three marked locations around the map. Then you will be ordered to gather forces from every European nation. Swim into the ports of the Order, Venetians, French and/or Spain to receive ships and land armies. Once you're ready, start destroying the towers on the northern part of the coast of the enemy settlement. In your fleet you should have galleys that are equipped with cannons. A ship of the line will be even more effective, but he consumes the gold from your resources like crazy. After destroying the towers and creating a hole, perform a landing on the right beach in the bay. On the other one there is a large cavalry squad which won't let your men leave the ships. In the place we recommend there are only archers. Enter the castle at the hill and defeat all the defenders.

Important! You can receive information with a text that should sum up your actions and end the mission. Sometimes it might happen that the game won't complete the scenario and you will remain on the map.
