Part 12

Let your initial troops delete the first assault, then move them outside the walls.

Upgrade your towers immediately.

Start building peasants to chop lumber to the north.

Send your army west to prepare for the next objective.

SO: STOP THE CHEROKEE ATTACKERS FROM DESTROYING THE VILLAGE TO THE SOUTHWEST (500 XP): If you get the great cannon over in time, you can stop them easily. This will grant you more peasants for mining.

Upgrade at the market and build a barracks, stable, and foundry just inside the circle of towers.

Produce only crossbowmen and falconets. Consider building one or two priests for healing.

SO: ESCORT THE REFUGEES BACK TO THE COLONY (300 XP EACH): Colonists will appear from a random spot in the south. You can help them, or they may reach your base on their own and become militia. You receive 300 XP per group if at least one colonist returns safely.

From this point until the timer runs out, focus on building many foot soldiers and five or six falconets.

Keep your towers repaired and keep your army near the towers.

When Cherokee cannons appear, take them down quickly with your own siege weapons.

Do not get sidetracked by treasures or assisting refugees. Avoid attacking the Cherokee bases to the south.

The mission ends when the timer runs out, and jaegers will appear.
