The starting Town Center should be used to train Villagers who will gather Food, either by building a Farm, or shipping a Farm Travois (if available on the deck). Since Gold Mines contain huge amounts of Coin, the player should not construct Plantations at this point. Once the Town Center is built, train Villagers to mine the Gold nearby. The player should immediately assign the Sioux Warchief to construct a Town Center southeast of the map, where there are mining camps. Keep in mind that the configuration can be altered at any time, depending on the resources the player needs. Since wood is scarce, the player must configure 4 to 5 of the Trading Posts to Wood, 2 on Food and 1 to Coin. The player must utilize these to acquire more resources to quickly field an army. The scenario starts with the player in control of 7 Trading Posts along the Trade Route. They control the Barracks the player must destroy.
They may later train minimal units consisting of Falconets and units from the Saloon. They actively attack the player at the start of the game with Hussars, Lancers, and Rodeleros.
Rival Miners ( Spanish): The Spanish have a walled town in the south. They agressively attack the player with Corral units. They control one of the War Huts the player must destroy. Sioux ( Sioux): These Sioux have an encampment in the northeast. They control one of the War Huts the player must destroy. They agressively attack the player with Corral units. Sioux ( Sioux): These Sioux have an encampment in the northwest. Miners ( United States): The Miners control several Miners mining gold across the player's mining camps. There is a mining camp close to each of the Trading Posts, which the player must defend. The story is very similar in the Definitive Edition, but the enemies are now exclusively rival miners.īlack Family Estate ( Black Family Estate): The player controls seven Trading posts along a trade route spanning from the east to the southwest of the map. The scenario now opens, and the Holme informs Chayton that the Sioux (referring to them as "flies") are also after the gold. Holme informs Chayton that the region is littered with gold, which can help him expand the company and both of them can become rich. Holme is now a Sheriff, and Chayton visits him in a town in the shadows of the Black Hills. Chayton is now the owner of Falcon Trading Company following his mother Amelia's resignation. The scenario is preceded by the cutscene "An Opportunity", where Chayton and Holme reunite after almost ten years of temporary peace following Red Cloud's War.
