To beat Alliance Treasure Hunt (ATH) Encounter 49 in the Roman Empire era of Rise of Cultures: Kingdom game, anchor your center with Heavy Legionaries, flank with Heavy Cavalry, and delay Commander Jagatai’s ability until enemy squads pack tightly against your front line. Holding your primary defensive line through the opening clash ensures your backline archers survive to handle the incoming second wave.
Army Roster and Battlefield Roles
Encounter 49 features a two-wave assault with boosted health and damage values. A balanced Roman force counters the mixed enemy formation by dividing defensive, ranged, and flanking responsibilities across dedicated roles.
| Unit Type | Deployment Position | Primary Role | Tactical Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Legionaries | Center grid | Frontline anchor | Absorb opening melee and cavalry charges |
| Roman Archers | Directly behind Legionaries | Sustained damage | Eliminate advancing melee squads and opposing archers |
| Roman Heavy Cavalry | Outer left and right wings | Flank disruption | Path around the center to neutralize backline ranged units |
| Commander Jagatai | Center rear lane | Area crowd control | Stun and burst dense enemy clusters during wave clashes |
Grid Layout and Deployment Setup
Unit target selection favors the nearest enemy upon engagement. Setting your frontline back slightly prevents enemy cavalry from targeting your archers early.
- Place Heavy Legionaries one tile behind the front deployment line. Setting them back pulls advancing enemy squads forward into a tight center pocket.
- Nest Roman Archers directly behind the infantry line. This keeps them within attack range while ensuring enemy melee and mounted units lock onto the Legionaries first.
- Position Heavy Cavalry on the extreme outer flanks. Giving cavalry a wide approach lane prevents them from getting caught in the center scrum, letting them charge straight into enemy ranged units.
- Place Commander Jagatai centered behind the main line. Central placement ensures his ability radius covers the entire frontline clash point.
Commander Jagatai Skill Timing
Triggering Commander Jagatai's active ability too early strikes scattered lead units and wastes high-impact damage.
- Wave 1 Collision: Wait until the opposing frontline makes full contact with your Legionaries. Fire Jagatai's ability once enemy units bunch together to damage and disrupt multiple squads simultaneously.
- Wave 2 Reinforcements: Reserve subsequent skill uses for the arrival of the second wave. Triggering the ability as the new squads engage keeps incoming reinforcements from overrunning damaged Legionary shields.
Clearing Wave 2
Once your cavalry eliminates the enemy backline in Wave 1, let them wrap around to attack the second wave from behind. Pinching incoming hostile reinforcements between surviving center Legionaries and returning cavalry prevents your ranged archers from taking direct damage, clearing the encounter without the need to spend resources on negotiation.
