How to Win a Domination Victory with Gran Colombia

Gran Colombia's Ejército Patriota ability removes one of the biggest hidden costs of using Promotions in combat — the lost turn — letting its army level up and act in the same turn, over and over.

The Approach

Promote units the instant they're eligible rather than waiting for a lull in combat, since Gran Colombia's ability means doing so costs nothing in tempo. Combined with the flat +1 Movement bonus on every unit, this produces an army that both levels up faster and covers ground faster than a comparable force under any other civilization, which compounds significantly over the course of a sustained military campaign.

Key Steps

  • Promote aggressively and immediately — there's no reason to delay, since it doesn't cost the unit its turn the way it would for any other civilization.
  • Use the extra Movement to strike multiple targets per turn where the map allows, rather than committing your whole force to a single front.
  • Llaneros are well suited to hit-and-run tactics that take full advantage of the Movement bonus specifically.
