The Battle of Khotyn | Cossacks Gain Fame Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide

Last update: 17 October 2016

The last mission will be quite requiring. You will have to face a large Turkish army. Their numbers maybe aren't so big, but the attacks of large heavy cavalry forces will be troublesome. You will defend the southern part of the hill and the Polish people will take the northern part. They will manage during most of the mission. Position the troops you received on the left corner of the hill and the rest on the southern pass. Quickly build a few barracks and start training the infantry. You will also need a stable. Train about 100 Cossacks and then start training the Hetmans. The enemy will throw great number of light infantry at you, so it is important to protect your infantry for as long as possible. On the other side of the river there are Tatars. Take them down with your Cossacks.

At some point large infantry forces with large number of batteries will position themselves on the other side of the river. They will become your priority. You must dispatch a cavalry squad to reach them. Once you destroy the escort, select a battery and destroy it. You won't use these weapons, and you can't allow the enemy to be able to shoot at you again. Then retreat to your position.

The enemy will throw large archer forces at the start, then some Janissaries and cavalry (1). In the meantime you will be informed that the enemy has many supply transports. Use a fast cavalry squad to ride behind the enemy lines and attack one transport after another (2).

If you keep up with unit production and with repelling enemy attacks, you should be able to survive the attack of the heavy cavalry. Usually these forces won't focus on your soldiers but instead they will ride forward at the forces of the commander of Polish forces. Polish has Hussars whom they send wherever the situation is endangered. Support them with your shooters and you will have chance to win this battle.
