Creation of New Pattern Army | Roundheads versus Cavaliers Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide

Before you attack the cities guard river crosses against enemy raids.

Your task is to seize two cities to the North. They have no walls, but they have several towers instead. The computer already has a garrison, so it will only be replenish losses. However, there also cavalry raids in its plans. He will be training them, virtually, until the end of this mission.

In theory, you can train soldiers, but only in the starting location and in the outposts by the bridges (1). Even if the villagers join you, you will be unable to erect buildings. You will be receiving transports of resources from the nearby villages (2), and in the bottom corners of the map, you can recruit mercenaries (3). The enemy will be sending out dragoons across shallows of rivers, on a regular basis(4) to disrupt production and destroy your allies. Deploy small teams of pikemen and riflemen there. If such raids prove to be successful, your economy will suffer a serious blow. At such moment, the most reasonable thing to do may be to restart the mission. The enemy city on the left receives provisions from the other city (5). This is going to be your first target.

The convoy is escorted by a medium-sized team of pikemen (120), and a team of musketeers of the same size. Take a big group and wait for them in the middle of the road. From now on, the attacks will be weaker, although still aggressive. Focus on forming new teams and on attacking one of the cities. I recommend that you attack the settlement on the right, which trains and sends out heavy cavalry and it is quite problematic, Without their support, seizing the cities will be quite difficult. Remember that howitzers are capable of destroying a tower in one, accurate shot.

Soon enough, the computer will organize a small army and attack your outpost by the Western bridge. Use your forces that you have used to attack the convoy. Attack from the side and defeat opponents. Do not chase anybody! The cannons and the garrison will quickly deal with you. The most important loot of this battle are the cannons. Right now, you should have 5-10 of them, including the one that you have started, the produced and the seized ones.

Bombard first, then attack with infantry.

Enemy settlements are just a handful of buildings, two stables and two barracks. Towers around block off any bigger infantry attack. Get all the cannons that you have and start bombardment, first the external fortifications. The problem is a greater number of production buildings on the enemy side and that he trains soldiers at home. There are two things that you can do: either keep bombarding or attacks and kill all of the enemy units. Then the script of this mission should give you al of the enemy's buildings in your way (market, warehouse, houses). As soon as you decide that you have a sufficient advantage, launch the final attack.

There still is the second city that you have to seize. The tactic here is similar, but the enemy will be more willing to dispatch his units to counterattack. However, he has several cannons hidden somewhere in the city, so you have to act quickly. At this moment, you should already have enough soldiers. First, destroy the towers to minimize the risk of failure. After you have killed the last soldier, you will complete the mission.
