I managed to do the impossible and beat Qadesh on Very Hard as an individual mission without relocating my city to the eastern bank. That means no troops from Sumur, no personal savings transferred, defending (most of) my original city, not hitting the 2nd debt anniversary and facing and beating the Hittites. • The only trick I used was luring one enemy chariot company to the eastern bank and destroying bridges, making them stranded for the rest of the skirmish. I wish they disappeared mid-battle so I could repeat it with one or two more, but it wasn't needed in the end. I am not sure and unwilling to find out if I can win without this one move. Possibly I could, because a lot of enemy troops were already roaming inside my walls, so one company more would hardly make a difference. • In the first 4 minutes of the video I got through saved games, because at first, I only recorded the battle. There's not much happening before the battle starts, but saved games should help you see how I set my economy, which is crucial for winning this mission. If you hit 2nd debt anniversary at the beginning of the 3rd year, I don't think it's possible to raise your Kingdom Rating in time after the battle. • I prepared by some testing and calculation. 8 gemstone mines are just enough to sell 5500 luxury goods a year to all 3 cities that buy them. Problem was, if I build everything in January of the first year, I will go in debt and hit the 2nd debt anniversary in January of the 3rd year. So, I tried to delay debt to March, and actually only reached it in April of the first year. This means that two years later, while I'm still fighting Hittites, I will sell some stockpiled luxury goods between January and March and get out of debt in time, which happens. • I also import 1700 wood to produce chariots for the 3rd chariot fort, which was inside the walls. In the end, I only manage to train 14 chariots for it. At that point, the enemy is at the gates and I need to move out with the 3rd fort. By that time, the first two are aleardy hard at hitting and running from the enemy. • Here's an additional video where I load the game from the save made at 17:50 in this video and continue fighting without destroying bridges and trapping the enemy on the eastern bank, making the vicotry trick-free: • • Pharaoh + Cleopatra Qadesh Very Hard ...
