The Siege of Orléans: Establishing a Foothold

Your initial forces are focused on securing the outskirts of the city. Begin by establishing your Town Center in the designated area to transition from a mobile force to a settled economy. Prioritize gathering food and wood to sustain constant Villager production while constructing a Barracks and Archery Range for defense. Use your starting knights to clear nearby English patrols and secure secondary resource nodes. While Joan of Arc has not yet arrived with reinforcements, focus on building the infrastructure necessary to survive until her arrival later in the mission.
