Campaign - Punitive Expedition

[Nathaniel Prime]

So the one with wolf clan where you have to fight an enemy all the way across the map. How the heck do you do this one? I can't get all the way over there with no healing, even sending in shieldbearers first, and doing what I think is a good military-based research order (and the extreme guide confirms. I'm playing on hard, but I just take too much damage and enemies respond too fast to fight all the way across the map even with 8 units. What's the trick here? The guide makes the mission out to be really easy, but I've hit a wall here.

I've found this to be most easy mission after 1. Are you sure you're going the right way? You may be trying to clear tiles you shouldn't be, maybe sit back and scout a bit. Also you don't need to wipe hagen's base, just get him low health, so ignore everything else in the tile and focus him down.

This is really an assassination mission based around scouting. It's quite different from the normal gameplay.

I just finished this mission in Extreme, took me 2 tried to find a way before the year two or before mercenary arrive (in Extreme you got two years).

First you got 4 villagers, repair the building, then one wood cutter, three in the ship (this is enough for wood and gold during the whole mission). Don't chose the tech/lore yet.

Next, scout, you need two of them, one for the way to the enemy town and one for the wolf den/cave (For food). Focus on scout in the South West, this is the best way to reach there and put another scout in the area next to the wood (South East), this is for the wolf den/cave where you kill them for food.

Now for the tech/lore only go for the first one, Wood > Mine > Medic > Ration. Why? You need reserve wood for the winter, you need silver for upgrade, medic so your healer can get the food, ration reduce the food consumption of your units.

Put one for mine then the healer, you need them all three, as sometime later you get enough silver, upgrade your healer (they will get food 50% more and heal faster), then upgrade your shield bearer, this is the best unit in this mission, because enemy do have a towers and axe thrower all over the place while shield bearer can take a lot of damage too.

Ignore the outpost, scout west and south until you reach the enemy land, before you attack, you should attack from the West, that area got tower close to the border where you can take it out faster, then rush to the enemy warchief to end the mission. Keep your warchief alive and do reach there before year two to get two secret mission done, while another one was take out two outpost, you can do that later on with normal or hard difficulty.
