Hi everyone,
Today we'll take a quick look at the new gameplay mechanic from the upcoming DLC called "City raids".
Let's say you want to hurt your enemy right where he lives, but at the same time you don't want to risk losing your entire army doing just that. Also, maybe making some money along the way. Sounds interesting? Then city raids are made for you.
To initiate a city raid you'll need to right-click on a city's icon and choose the "Raid the City" menu option, or just use the usual menu upon arriving to the enemy city.
Then, you and your army will appear on that city's location with one mission — to kill as many civilians as you can. Because the more lives you take the more money you get in the end. City guards will try their best to prevent this from happening.
You'll need to know when to stop though, as the enemy will keep deploying reinforcements that you'd have to fight during a siege otherwise. So pace yourself and don't get too greedy if you don't want to find yourself on a plantation once again — head to the location's exit when you feel the time is right.
