Dance of the Dragons Chapter

Anyone beat that mission with Rhaenyra?
First part is easy. I create one more Spy and get the 7 false alliances with my 2 Spies quite fast but the second
part is a pain in the ass. There is not enough gold to create a lot of assasins to work for you and when you lose
an alliance is game over.
How did you do that?

Here's my tip, think choke points and town density!

This being said, the Rhaenyra scenario used to have a fix amount of gold at the beginning and no more income later on. I could only buy 2 assassins and 1 spy and had to make do with that. It took me half a day to finish this one during testing .

Wow! Then it seems we are talking about luck, not strategy

Oh no! We are talking strategy here. When I do it now I finish this chapter 100% of the time, and easily. But I have to admit that 400hours of gameplay might help a bit.

BTW, did you know you could cue orders for a unit by holding down Shift and clicking? This will allow you to send your spy from town to town without too much difficulty.

Here's a first tip:

Spoiler : :

Keep an assassin just of the bridge with a spy at a stand still to reveal any enemy spy.

Here's a second tip:

Spoiler : :

Use a spy in the middle of the towns west of the Red Keep.

Thanks. I will try it later and tell you my results.

just w8 till you have 3-4 spys before the second part start, then put then in 1,2,3,4 hotkey group and just move them around the map to gain and regain secret agreements. Really easy

[mordev]

Nothing worked... I am really pissed with that mission...
And the enemy doesn't seem to have a standard pattern of taking back my towns.

@Thoram: Your tips doesn't seem to work. The enemy has much more units and my assassins are walking too slow...

@Wolfie2449: No way to gather so much money for 4 spies... Tried with 3 and failed miserably...

[Thoram]

Here's a more direct approach.
Use 2 spies run from 1 city to the next in the south. Use Shift to cue them so that they head to a city that just lost a secret agreement.
Keep 1 spy close to the bridge to keep the 3 cities of the north in alliance.
Also, keep 6 alliances and position your spies close to cities to gain 2 or more alliances at the same time.

I remember finishing this scenario with almost all alliances.

[mordev]

I did it using a slower method.
During the first part of the mission I was holding just 3-4 towns to generate gold so that I can create 6-7 spies.
Then I got all the 7 towns and kept my spies one in each city. I had just 2 assassins, one guarding the bridge
and the other going here and there. It was easy using this apporach but time consuming.

The next 2 missions were way more easy than this, completed them in minutes.

Anyway, thank you for your help!

Just get the 2 spies, leave one near your base and then send the other on a conquering journy.. you are not capped to only get 7 agreeement , continue to get them as much as possible and just play the game of trying to out spam secret agreeemnts.
