The changes to balance have caused this art of war mission in particular to become ridiculously difficult. Online balance changes shouldn’t effect things like this or they should be rebalanced to make them reasonable to achieve. Other things are also effected like the art of war mission for siege.
The main issues with this scenario now are the nerfs to military school train time, in particular knight and janissary production. The opposing men at arms are now also ghulams, if they are changed from regular maa to ghulams then there should be a change in the number of units as ghulams are much stronger and more expensive.
This mission is ridiculously hard for your average player compared to anything else in single player and achieving gold is incredibly difficult.
Please change the ghulams back to regular man at arms or significantly reduce the number of ghulams in line with their resource cost.

one one agreed with you, and its not a bug
i got gold after second try, its easy
if your gold rank ofc u cant get it, only good players can
It’s not a skill issue for me because I’m conqueror 3 and completed this long ago shortly after it became available but many people struggle with this challenge since all the balance changes like nerfs to keeps and the other things I mentioned.
No achievement should be unachievable for players of average skill level which is in fact gold rank, this should be possible for your average gold rank player after a few tries and I don’t think it is anymore.
Of course players of diamond level or above can easily do it but they represent a small portion of the player base in general and it’s simply not fair on those lower level players who make up the majority that the challenge has become so much harder due to balance changes intended to only affect online play.
Whether it’s a bug or not is questionable because I don’t think they intended to make the scenario much harder but these changes have just happened as a result of nerfs and buffs to online play.
skill issue, full stop, if you are gold and dont know how to beat it, u dont deserve it
you can get bronze and silver rank no problem, art of war is meant to be a challenge
not catering to babies and bronze ranks
That’s not the issue, the issue is the inconsistency. Why is the malian art of war so much easier? Surely these things should be balanced to around the same level. It’s just obvious that balance changes to online play have effected the art of war scenario and that was unintended.
skill issue++++++++++++
