Optional mission: Relics | Chaos' campaign: Act I Warhammer MOC Guide

It's rather unique mission - we have to claim five relics, which are transported by few caravans from Imperial temple. During it we can gain some nice items and experience, but you must be careful to not to lose too many soldiers - they're really expensive.

Unfortunately this mission is one of the longest, because transports move very slowly. There will be four caravans (two relics are transported in the last one) and each following is better defended then previous one. First two are easy to defeat, third includes some nasty handgunners and fourth is tough one.

Source of our spoils

The best place for ambush is near position we start from. After moving north, leaving cavalry where it stands, we will come to crossroads leading west and east. Caravans will come from the western direction, so we should deploy all units except riders near the right side of the fork. Our tactics: we allow enemy to charge at warriors, then strike with knights at his side or at handgunners behind him. Flagellants should be attacked last, because they're unbreakable and it's better to make the rest of hostile troops flee first. With the last caravan a priest will come, who can be challenged by Thorgar.

After this battle we can move to another town, where we should buy three new units, especially at least one regiment of axe-throwers. If we still have money we can regenerate, starting from range units, but don't worry if you won't be able to heal everyone - there's regeneration shrine at the beginning of next mission.
