    Campaign[]

    As a savage warlord and raider, Irsu hopes to prey on fragility of civilisation and reap the rewards of the chaos that follows. In the heart of Canaan, he basks in his stolen wealth, eager to add to his hoard.

    Irsu starts on the northern half of Canaan, at war with Damascus. He is a pillager at heart - raiding and sacking are in his blood. His armies wear heavier armour so that they can attack recklessly.
