Hi,

Does anyone know how to get through the Britain 2 - Britain Strikes Back mission?
You have to build up Fort Necessity and construct 2 log cabins in the open zone.

How do you build log cabins and where is the open zone anyway?
I have done all the upgrades I can but it still says I have to build up Fort Necessity so I'm not sure what needs doing there either?

Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks,

Mr D

No I never figured it out :(

A bit of an awkward and time consuming mission:

The open zone appears to be located where the visible tribal village is i.e. the one which is revealed through the fog of war

That's where you want to place a fort & two blockhouses once the village is razed.

Make sure to kill the French troops ASAP else you'll fail the mission should they leave the map (they slowly head south towards the open zone)

The game loves to cheat by spawning endless waves of tribal warriors from any area where you don't have visibility though the fog of war. They don't appear to require resources to produce troops but I could be wrong.

They have a habit of making a suicidal dash for any unoccupied buildings & love to capture your settlers, buildings and mines which they usually delete - very annoying.

Those few things are my #1 complaint against American Conquest over Cossacks.

I found that getting enough Iron & Coal for upgrades and shooting is a bit tricky as there's only one mine of each and the fortress loves to blast it all away.

It's also bit strange that palisade walls can't be built in American Conquest.
