TA: Kingdoms Iron Plague chapter 22 has been kicking my ass

I have died half a dozen times about 30 minutes in.

It’s called Son of Garacaius. You start in the middle left of the screen, there’s a massive army on the right, and open space aside from some large white walls down the middle of the map.

It is quite difficult to wall yourself in. There’s always assassins sneaking in and absolutely smashing shit up. Tons of catapults. The whole thing is crazy.
