The Fleet of Resistance — Diplomacy is Not an Option Walkthrough

Guide for 'The Fleet of Resistance' mission in Diplomacy is Not an Option, focusing on rapid Keep upgrades, naval construction, and unit boarding.

This mission introduces naval elements, requiring you to build and outfit a fleet. It's a standard base-building mission with a strong focus on resource generation to support ship construction. The mission completes immediately upon fulfilling all objectives.

Objectives:

• Build 4 Ships
• Board the ships with:
  • 60 Crossbowmen
  • 25 Spearmen
  • 15 Footknights

Strategy:

• Rush Keep Level 3: Your top priority should be to reach Keep Level 3 as fast as possible. This unlocks advanced buildings and significantly boosts your economy, especially for infinite wood production.
• Coastal Construction: Build your wooden boats and docks along the coast. Ensure you don't block these areas with other buildings, as they are essential for ship construction.
• Resource Focus: Once Keep Level 3 is achieved, establish your 'Infinite Wood Setup' (8 Forester's Cabins, 10 Level 3 Lumberyards, 5 Storages). This will provide a steady income of wood, which can then be traded for other necessary resources like Iron and Gold to build units and ships.
• Unit Production: Start producing the required units (Crossbowmen, Spearmen, Footknights) as soon as your barracks and training facilities are available.
• Ship Building: Once you have the resources and units, construct the 4 ships and board them with the specified troops.

The mission's difficulty scales with your economic efficiency. A fast Keep Level 3 rush will allow you to complete the objectives much quicker and with less pressure from enemy waves.
