I was playing joan of arc and so far so good until scenario 5 and the refugees…Immediately after you discover 6 of them the english longowmen attempt to kill them . If you let a single one die you lose the mission. Nevermind that there are more than 6 scattered through the map so you could try and reclaim additional ones if one dies. No sir. We dont do that here. You lose a single villager, a unit with no armor and who does not integrate into a protective square formation and you are done. Oh and there is more! the enemy units love them! they will prioritize attacking villagers over everything else!
Shameful that a bug like this still exists in a 25 year old campaign. For shame!
explore before geting to the bridge. The scenario is not broken
Hello! I beg to differ. An objective is marked on the map in such a way that reaching it triggers a defeat condition immediately (village counter < 6). No reprieve, event though there are other villagers in the map. This is punishing the player for the sake of punishing. You should be given the chance right until the end of the map to gather your 6 villagers. Going back to your comment, you should be given the chance to explore a bit before being declared as defeated.

You have a very big army, go slow and be careful when near the points you know that have villagers, if you have tried multiple times, you know were they are. You need to manage the army better to avoid unnecessary losses.
The scenario is pretty easy, you have a huge army and unlimited time, there’s no rush. I’ve completed this scenario multiple times and never lost enough villagers to be even close to lose.
I don’t get it, What is preventing you from exploring exactly? You seem to want the game to magically give you more villagers if you mess up, which defeats that the purpose of the entire scenario is that you have to defend those.
What is the purpose of this comment? Why does it matter the game has 25 years?
