This scenario is rated to be brutally hard. Therefore we will approach it with absolute ruthlessness. We will use every trick in the book, and then some. The scenario may not be survivable on the first play-through, so we may need to "cheat". | This scenario is rated to be brutally hard. Therefore we will approach it with absolute ruthlessness.

'''Big spoiler:''' Henry the Lion may betray and attack you. Something like this is historically accurate, so it might be expected in the game. Empirically, it appears to be triggered at any point after 23.5 min of game time, if you have a castle. We will avoid building a castle until we are ready for the betrayal. There is one big argument for not building a castle early in any case, and that is, since the enemy is attacking with a lot of heavy artillery, a castle is simply too expensive and vulnerable until your Maze Complex is well developed. We will be building a lot of mini-castles, which in the Teutonic case, have a range advantage over castles as well as a price advantage. The other relevant thing we will do is observe Henry's behaviour via Cartography. | |||
There are good reasons for building castles. Just because you can do so is not a good reason. As this scenario develops, you will find that you never have a good reason until late in the game. | There are good reasons for building castles. Just because you can do so is not a good reason.
