Raigad: Hold the Fort

Raigad sits on a cliff-ringed hilltop in the Sahyadris and was Shivaji's capital, where he was crowned in 1674. Only a few routes lead to the top. Defend all of them for twelve waves.

• Tap a bastion (the dashed circles) to place archers, Toradar matchlock gunners or a Tof cannon. Tap it again to upgrade or sell.
• Tap open ground to move your commander. Standing still, he holds up to three attackers and makes nearby defenders fire 25% faster.
• Guard the gates. Once the Maha Darwaja or Wagh Darwaja falls, attackers run for the Raj Sadar. Each one that gets there costs morale. Repair gates between waves.
• Watch the weather. Monsoon rain dampens gunpowder. At night your defenders see less far unless you light torches. Climbers come up the Hirkani cliff, where there's no gate.
• During a wave, roll boulders onto the approach or pour hot oil over a gate.

Keys: Space starts a wave · 1–3 build · U upgrade · B boulders · O oil · P pause

The map is a stylised plan inspired by the real fort, not a survey. The waves are fiction, loosely set during the Maratha wars.
