Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall: How to Win the Battle of Grevno

To win the Battle of Grevno in Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall, you must anchor your frontline infantry in the settlement's central bottleneck, hold a defensive stance against incoming raider charges, and focus your archer fire into dense enemy clusters. Station a mobile squad in reserve at the village center to intercept flanking attacks through outer alleys, and halt your forces immediately once the enemy routs to avoid ambush casualties.

Preparing Your Forces Before the Battle

Preparing before the march dictates how well your garrison absorbs initial shock damage. Relying too heavily on raw peasant levies leads to rapid line collapse under sustained assault. Inspect your roster and supplies to ensure frontline units have the durability to hold their ground.

Preparation Step	Focus	Required Action
Roster Balance	Frontline durability	Deploy seasoned spearmen and shield units instead of unarmored peasant levies.
Supply Check	Sustainment	Top off rations and munitions before marching to Grevno.
Reconnaissance	Threat assessment	Scout incoming raider groups to identify heavy armor or mounted attackers.

Holding the Central Chokepoints

Grevno’s layout funnels attackers through narrow passages formed by village buildings and fences. Positioning your melee units directly across these bottlenecks prevents raiders from utilizing their superior numbers.

Anchor the line: Form a continuous shield or spear wall across the primary roadway.
Maintain position: Keep your frontline in a defensive stance and do not order an aggressive advance into open clearings.
Rotate squads: Monitor unit cohesion during wave impacts. Pull heavily damaged squads back into the village lane and push fresh reserve shields forward to maintain the bottleneck.

Deploying Ranged Units and Prioritizing Targets

Archers provide your primary damage output during the defense, but they must remain protected from melee contact. Station bowmen on rooftops, elevated palisades, or immediately behind the secondary melee line.

Direct your archer fire using strict target prioritization:

Packed infantry charges: Target large clusters of hostile infantry stalled against your shield wall to maximize the casualty count of each volley.
Unshielded flankers: Strike exposed enemy squads attempting to maneuver around your perimeter before they reach close combat.
Low-priority targets to avoid: Do not waste arrow stocks on scattered vanguard scouts or heavily armored shock leaders who take reduced damage from light projectile fire.

Intercepting Flank Attacks

Raiders will send secondary detachments through side alleys and broken fences to bypass your main line. Leaving these approaches unmonitored allows enemies to reach civilian structures or attack your archers from behind.

When raiders attempt an outer flank:

Divert your central reserve squad immediately to block the compromised alleyway.
Keep your primary infantry line locked at the central roadway rather than peeling units away from the bottleneck.
Redirect part of your archer fire to thin out flanking squads before they close the distance.
Counter-charge with your reserves only after the flanking enemies hit your defensive obstacle and lose forward momentum.

Post-Battle Triage and Recovery

Victory requires preserving King Eryk's standing forces for future conflicts. When raider morale breaks and the enemy routs, order your battalions to hold the perimeter immediately. Pursuing fleeing raiders into surrounding forests exposes tired units to rearguard ambushes.

After combat concludes, distribute medical resources directly to veteran troops and high-tier units to restore army strength. Allocate surplus village resources to repair Grevno’s damaged defenses and housing, which stabilizes civilian loyalty and secures the settlement as a regional strongpoint.
