Stopping the Invasion | Dawn of the French Fleet Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide

The final mission can be troublesome. Your task is to repel an invasion on your land. You will have plenty of time for preparations. Focus on gathering wood, gold and iron and on production of large number of ships. Even light ships will be useful in this mission. The enemy will appear in the upper left corner. Position a few units far from each other, around that place. Thanks to that you will know in which direction the fleet is moving. The greatest problem is that each time a random part of the units swim to a different settlement. Sometimes they go to each place, sometimes they focus only on two or even a single city hall. Remember, you lose if the enemy takes over at least one of the three city halls.

The enemy fleet consists of light and heavy units. It is hard to prepare the proper line of defense. Additionally, the enemy lacks transport units - if only he reaches the shore for example with a frigate, a large infantry unit will appear. Because of that the most important thing is to stop the enemy on the sea. In theory you will have the help of the allied fleet, but in my playthroughs the computer frequently got stuck in the bottom port and he haven't helped me at all. In addition to expanding the fleet, you can train soldiers in the settlement deeper in the land. If you have very large number of soldiers on the map, production of even larger groups can be unwise. First of all, you won't have enough time. Second - the enemy has many heavy bombardment ships that will easily break your ranks. You can try focusing on stopping part of the fleet on one or two directions and throw all available soldiers to the third location. This will give you greater chance for defense and will free you from the necessity to train additional soldiers. Once you destroy the soldiers and the ships, you will complete the mission and the campaign.
