## About This Content
Beginning in the ashes of the Western Zhou dynasty and culminating in the
Battle of Boju, The Art of War Campaign is designed for series veterans and
skilled warlords alike. With six extra missions, two new warlords, added
challenge and achievements, players will become the master strategist across a
new narrative campaign set in 6th Century BC China.
These six new DLC missions feature fresh challenges and historical conflicts,
with states vying for dominance in a vicious cycle of rivalries, wars,
alliances and betrayals. Players can expect to relive several years from Sun
Tzu’s legendary exploits, conquering new tactical scenarios and strongholds in
the process. Face new challenges as Sun Tzu’s story progresses with new maps,
gameplay and the addition of two brand new warlords.
## Rat Warlord
The Rat Warlord is a small part but vital part of your master plan, lulling
opponents into a false sense of security before revealing his bite! With a
unique perk that increases damage from Tribesmen units, The Rat is an ideal
warlord to acquire early and catch enemies off guard. A smart diplomatic
option capable of providing quick military strength, the Rat can be used to
play the long game, stunt an opponent’s economic growth and win the war of
economies.
## Panda Warlord
Slow to anger but a fierce defender when pushed, the Panda is best used with
his protective nature in mind. With a perk that increases the chance of arrows
deflecting off castle walls, the Panda makes himself indispensable by
extending this benefit to the player’s castle and all warlords under their
control. Combine this with his economic and defence boosting edicts and the
Panda is an effective bulwark against almost any AI incursion.
