Expedition Against Gigelly | Dawn of the French Fleet Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide

Now you will participate in land operations with a story background about you gaining the favor of local inhabitants. You start at the gate of a small fort where your allies are already starting the attack and preparations to siege (1). Once you conquer this outpost, you will receive small forces and you will start a slow march. You will reach a small village that will join you (2). You will also be given two options - either to take over the city hall or leave it to locals. You will receive a group of peasants, a field and barracks. You can train new soldiers there, but what you already have is better and it probably fills your citizen limit. Leave a small garrison there - 30-50 men - and keep moving south.

The next village is hostile towards you and it will immediately change into an enemy (3). Once you destroy most of their forces, the remains will join you. Now you can move south from the ruins. You won't find anything interesting there, only some more text. Now go to the right corner of the edge, through the river and through the small pass. You will reach the slave trader (4). You can gain the favor of locals or a few additional peasants. Go back to the newly obtained settlement and move to the west, through the pass. Somewhere in the middle you will encounter archers on the hills (5).

Your shooters should deal with them, even from under the hill. Here you can move to the green plateau - there will be a small ramp there. You will be attacked by small forces of melee fighters (6). Once your army reaches the settlement at the river, you will be ambushed by small forces. You will be able to fight them once you enter the rural area and a script will start. After a while the enemy cavalry will join the fight.

The last settlement before the enemy fort should be neutral towards you. In the meantime, send soldiers to the quarters of other generals from the stronghold obtained at the beginning. One of them will give you shops - use them to destroy the enemy sea forces. The enemy will send transports to the first village that's under your control. If you don't stop them now, you can do it after claiming the stronghold.

First position your troops and destroy the first enemy line. Then go to the nearby hill and continue the fight. You won't take over the cannons, but the locals will help you get inside. Once you get close to the stronghold walls, the gate will be blown up. Inside there are many enemies, so lure the formations one after another or use the ship in the line.

The ship in the line is perfect for destroying walls and groups of enemy soldiers.

After destroying the fleet that secured the fort you can swim closer with the ship in the line. Destroy the towers and start bombing the troops inside the walls. This ship has great firepower and very high rate of fire. Start with the central squad of Janissaries. Then aim at other nearby enemy groups. Once you're done, you can perform the final assault. If the mission doesn't end, it means that you left some enemies alive (the black player). Thoroughly scan the map and previous locations.
