Joan
of Arc Mission 1 - Spooky
When you first start, you will see Joan
the Maid standing inside a yellow camp. After that, 2 mounted soldiers
will come up to you, first Bertrand and then followed by De Metz. After
they have talked with you, you should take your 3 units, and walk to the
gate of the camp. Along the way to the gate, you will get 4 men at arms
and 4 crossbowmen to join your force. When you leave the camp, the gate
guards will talk to you for a moment, as will the scout a little to the
left. The scout will warn you not to go to the north, so wisely
following his advice, you decide to follow the road to the south. Along
the road to the south, you will run into a battle, after you watch this
little play, you can continue south, or if you would like, you could
chase red with your mounted units, and attack a couple of their units,
but this serves no purpose in completing the scenario. When you reach
the bridge to the south, you find it to be knocked down, and you must
find another way to the Chateau of Chinon.
when you follow the road to the west,
you will find a small force of highway men near a fork in the road. You
should have no problem defeating this small band, just attach the men at
arms, and the archers with all your units. After you have defeated the
band, you will decide to take the right fork, and head to the north. You
will meat another small group of highway men along this path, just
attack them the same as you did the last group, and continue along the
path. When you reach the town across the bridge, send Joan across and
gather the troops and the ram. With these new troops, you will follow
the same path back to the fork, and take the fork to the left.
When you reach the Burgundy fortress,
have your troops wait a little ways away from the gate, and send your
ram in to attack. When the enemy troops come out, have your ram retreat
to your troops, and have your troops kill them. If any of your troops
walk through the gate, have any foot troops attack the tower to the
south-west of them, and place any archers as close to the gate as
possible. Now that the enemy troops are dead, attack the gate with
everything that you have until it falls, and if he tower to the
south-west is still standing, send over your ram to tear it down. Once
you are safely through the town, send your men across the river.
When you cross the river, you should
slowly advance your troops until you see a farm. At that point, move all
of your troops to the right along the river bank (around the forest)
until you are no longer near the farms. then take your battering ram and
move it along the river to the west until you find a dock. When you find
the dock, you will be given 3 transports, and a bunch of enemy soldiers,
keep your ram moving to the west to lead the enemy soldiers away, or you
could try to load it on a transport if you want to save it, it will work
fine either way. Now send your transports east to pick up your hidden
troops, and follow the river until you reach the bridge that you
couldn't cross at the beginning of this scenario. Do not worry about the
boat shooting at you when you are running down the river, it wont sink
your transport ships.
Unload your troops near the bridge, and
if you have any troops left behind, just go back and get them. When you
have all your troops unloaded on the beach near the bridge, follow the
path to a small town, where you will have a few more units join your
army. You are now only 2 small groups of soldiers away from your goal.
Send one of your mounted units across the river to the south, and get
the green troops to follow you back to the river. where your army can
easily destroy them. After that, divide your army into hand to hand, and
ranged units. Your last opposition is a few men at arms and a mangonels.
you should have all of your hand to hand units attack the mangonels,
followed by your ranged units to take out the men at arms that are
trying to destroy your hand to hand units. Congratulations, you have now
won the scenario, just have Joan follow the path to the west until you
reach the castle, and the ending credits will start to roll.
