Learn how to rally support, defend settlements, and counter-attack in Part 22 of the Civilization Beyond Earth walkthrough. Master land and naval battles for your freedom.

This guide section focuses on the critical stages of warfare after declaring independence, emphasizing land battles and strategic defense.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rally Support: Secure alliances with other Colonial empires and Natives. Encourage allies to declare war on the enemy King. Aim for a combined force of 3 empires, a colonial force, and some natives against the enemy empire.
  2. 2
    Land Forces Arrive: Once naval battles are underway, prepare for ground assaults. The enemy will land at your closest port city and attack nearby settlements.
  3. 3
    Defend Settlements: Use all available troops to defend the settlement, leveraging its defense bonus. Move Dragoons out of the settlement to avoid losing their bonus, using them to attack enemy artillery or engage and retreat.
  4. 4
    Reinforce Defenses: Shift Cannons to the settlement for an additional defense bonus. Arm colonists working in fields to serve as the last line of defense.
  5. 5
    Strategic Evacuation: If a city is overwhelmed or another port is attacked, evacuate all colonists. Move them to another city, using available Guns, Horses, and remaining navy to transfer goods.
  6. 6
    Reclaim Cities: After a city falls, arm all unused colonists and prepare veteran troops for battle. Use roadblocks and recruit more troops.
  7. 7
    Resource Management for War: Arm colonists except those producing food, lumber, production, or Liberty Bells. Keep those producing ore, tools, guns, and horses to maintain essential resources and troop production.
  8. 8
    The Battle for Freedom: Defeat all enemy forces until they surrender. Rely on allies for troop and ship support.
  9. 9
    Unconventional Tactics: Employ ambushes, harass retreating enemies, and attack when least expected. Prioritize winning engagements to conserve limited forces.
  10. 10
    Counter-Attack: If a settlement is lost, ensure all colonists have evacuated and the enemy gains nothing. Immediately counter-attack.
Tips
  • Maintaining good relations with other empires and Natives is crucial for rallying support during wartime.
  • Utilize the settlement defense bonus to your advantage during ground assaults.
  • Dragoons are effective for offensive maneuvers but should be moved out of settlements to maximize their combat effectiveness.
  • Arming colonists is a vital last resort for defense and a key component of reclaiming lost territory.
  • Conserve your forces by attacking only when victory is assured.
  • Remember the strategic importance of evacuating colonists and resources from undefended cities to deny the enemy any gains.
  • The fight for freedom may require multiple attempts; persistence and unconventional tactics are key to victory.
