River crossing mission

[rubyismycat]

Stuck as hell on this mission was told to use fire arrows on the archers at the north of map but my archers cant shoot that far so they try to get in shooting range and get anihilated i tried charging archers with cav and heavy infantry no dice just insta death im loosing the will to live from trying and failing this damnable mission

This mission has pathfinding issues, just like in the original Xbox.

Try to move all of your units to the very top of the map and order your archers to fire but hold a tight leash on them because they may still enter the damn river. If they do gtfo asap and try again until you can shoot.

Is this the one where you're going back to hironedan? If so, go to the top of the map, stay away from the river until you get there and you'll see a point where you can cross safely

[Regnier575]

You can even avoid the archers altogether by sticking to the edge of the map, once you've crossed the river if you wish

I beat Crusaders about 4 times and never met a safe point to cross. You're supposed to rain fire on the enemies to make them scatter and then you cross the river.

They should have a fire arrow ability. I don't know about keyboard but on a controller you access them with the upper d-pad.

yes and then i order them to use fire arrows at the north of the map river bank and they march into the water to get in range to fire and die every single time

You cannot use fire arrows at the top of the map, only at the middle and it's not really worth to do. The Archers will run a little bit away, but will come again once you enter the river. The best way to do this mission is to just bruteforce it at the top.

Unlike Infantry, Calvary doesn't suffer from the slowdown in rivers. We can use that to our advantage. Once your troops are at the north at the edge, just move all over the river. Your Calvary wants to lock down the nearest enemy Archer there, while your Gerald keeps on healing. You will suffer some losses, depending on what level your Gerald is and what resistances he has. I usually had about 1/4th loss at maximum for Gerald. Once you are out of the river you can destroy the archers pretty easily or you just go to the end point to finish the mission. This requires about 450 SP for 3 heals, of course the more SP the better.

tried that no one not even the cav made it across the river alive i give up

fire spreads slightly , I remember coating the coastline with fire arrows near the enemy ones and it forces them to reposition, gives you a way to cross.
