The Final Battle — Diplomacy is Not an Option Walkthrough

Storm Ferdinand II The Fat's Castle in Diplomacy is Not an Option. Build your economy and prepare for the final assault in this mission walkthrough.

This is the climactic final mission where you storm the Castle of Ferdinand II The Fat. You start with a healthy battalion and starter buildings, and 10 days to build up your economy before the main assault begins. The mission involves pushing through castle walls and defeating the enemy Keep.

Objective:

• Storm the Castle of Ferdinand II The Fat.

Strategy:

• Initial Setup: You begin with a strong starting force (25 Spearman, 30 Crossbowmen, 15 Footknights) and some basic buildings. Use the initial 10 days wisely to expand your economy and prepare.
• Gold Acquisition: Small stone-walled outposts scattered across the map contain chests of gold. Use your Footknights to siege a nearby outpost, destroy the academy to stop troop spawning, collect the chests, and then leave. This minimizes your need for a market to reach Keep Level 3. If an outpost is near your base, clear its defenses to expand.
• Economic Focus: Prioritize reaching Keep Level 3 and establishing your infinite wood setup. Trade wood for metal to spam high-end units.
• Three-Sided Attack: By the third wave, you'll be attacked from three sides. Ensure your defenses are robust and cover all angles.
• Offensive Push: Your main goal is to push through the castle walls.
• Unit Composition: Build up a large army of 150 Knights and Footknights.
• Spell Usage: Acquire the Mass Healing spell upgrade (Healing of Magic Nature). This is crucial for keeping your high-tier units alive during the assault.
• Castle Assault: Slowly advance with your Trebuchets to dismantle the castle walls. Once a breach is made, send in your large force of Knights and Footknights. Keep them constantly healed with the Mass Healing spell. Focus on destroying the enemy's Keep.

This mission is a test of your economic mastery, defensive planning, and offensive execution. Leverage your starting advantage and the gold from outposts to build an unstoppable army and overwhelm Ferdinand's castle.
