The Fall of Canterlot High School

—Official warning

"*Canterlot High School and the Soviet allies think that Petrovburg will die with its former president – Sweyn Forkbeard. Fools! Under the presidency of Mr. Vladimir Diana, Luna continues the struggle along with his family in the battle for Petrovburg. The citizens of Petrovburg have not only to come as mere nationalists, but naturally Muslims. There is, however, one crucial mission: Destroy Canterlot High School – the symbol of defiance against the nationalism and sovereignty of Petrovburg!*"
— Official description
**The Fall of Canterlot High School** is the sixth and final chapter of the Battle for Petrovburg stories in the Luna the Miracle Boy series

In this folk story, the main character is the Canterlot Presidential Army led by Luna and his uncle – President Diana, trying to liberate Petrovburg by defeating the Canterlot High Forces and destroying Canterlot High School – the headquarters of the country traitors including Aulia's curse magic.

## Intro

*Since the rule and pretension of Princess Aulia, the war had not been going well for Petrovburg.*

*In a matter of days, Princess Aulia crushed the combined Petrovburger and Equestrian forces; and now, for a year, she had campaigned with the Canterlot High Army, bringing it victory after victory. Only recently had she suffered a setback, as her forces failed to dominate over Petrovburg.*

*She was not a warrior; at just twentieth century, she carried nothing but a zionist banner into battle. Yet, her tactics and her fiery speeches that seemed to be the very word of God had made her the Canterlot High's greatest weapon.*

*And now, the Muslim noble gentleman – President Diana, resolves to put an end to her for good. His forces are laying siege on the Canterlot High's headquarters when word reaches him that Nightmare Moon and her loyal allies have sneaking into the republic to launch a surprise attack.*

*This would be the day that Canterlot High School fell.*

## Notable characters

### Enemies

 **Canterlot High Loyalists** | The Canterlot High will have their army scattered around Canterlot City, which the Canterlot Presidential Army will have to destroy in order to receive resources from these villages. Their main base is located in Ponyville.

## Battle informations

### Info

* A large body of the Equestria Delegates has assembled and is ready to set sail to their home through the sky.
* In Canterlot City. President Diana has launched an offensive against the rebellious Canterlot High Forces. The Canterlot High field an army consisting of knights, pikemen, crossbowmen, swordsmen, light-cavalry horses, and Teutonic knights.
* Luna's father – Prince Artemis, is walking to Canterlot Presidential University. Perhaps he is willing to join forces with him and President Diana.
* Initially, the Mayor of Manehattan is neutral. He changes his diplomatic stance with Petrovburg to "enemy" as Princess Aulia forces him and his people to serve her. However, when the Trojan Pony reaches Manehattan, he changes his stance back to "ally" and also gives some of his district guards to assist President Diana, his family, and his army.

### Main objectives

First scene:

* Bring the corpse of Princess Aulia to Canterlot High School in time to rescue Luna.
* The ransom cart (that brings the corpse of Princess Aulia) must not be destroyed.

* Get rid of Nightmare Moon (Princess Aulia) once and for all.

### Hints

* Citizens of Canterlot City will actively participate in the fighting, so protecting them is in your interests.
* Many villages around Canterlot City provide resources to whoever controls them. They will produce fewer resources as more buildings within them are destroyed. Either help President Diana conquer them or burn them to the ground to deny the Canterlot High's additional resources.
* There are still the Equestria Pony Riders in Petrovburg – if you find them, they will join you.
* Rumor has it that Canterlot High School is the source of enmity, provocation, and betrayal. It is commonly known as the symbol of defiance against the nationalism and sovereignty of Petrovburg.
* In contrast to the death execution of Princess Aulia, the Canterlot High soldiers use the gunpowder obtained from their military headquarters. Destroying it to the ground will grant a great victory for Petrovburg and put Communism at the end.

### Losing conditions

* Luna and his families are killed.
* Canterlot Presidential University is destroyed.
* The Trojan Pony is destroyed before it enters Manehattan.

## Battle strategies

At the start, the Vernadsky Volunteers must bring the ransom cart (that brings the corpse of Princess Aulia) to Canterlot High School in under 6 minutes. Alternately, They can also attack-move northwards first (to clear out the ambushing force coming down), then simply attack-move all the way down to the CHS headquarters. Give or take, the Vernadsky Volunteers should be able to deliver the corpse cart around the 1:20 mark left on the clock.

Once Luna is banished out of Canterlot High School, Principal Tony invites him to the field before Norway Bay to taking the Equestrian delegates homeward. As President Diana warns his sons to return to Canterlot City, Canterlot High School becomes the enemy to Petrovburg and starts the massive invasion. The CHS Principal declares that he, King Sombra, Princess Aulia, and all of their allies "will rather die as atheists than live under the Islamic rule".

As Principal Tony lets Luna go back to Canterlot City, he goes to Equestria along with the delegates. There will be an ox wagon at Canterlot Presidential Palace that can be brought to Canterlot Presidential University to generate a few civilians. Immediately southwest of the city, there is an ox cart and two more unemployed civilians that will help jumpstart the presidential economy. It would also be a good idea to set a rally for the presidential army as the faculty lot beside the campus will be completely safe from the Canterlot High attacks.

The first order should be defeating the Canterlot High Raiders, as they are the only direct threat to the survival of Luna, President Diana, and their family. Due to their specialty of heavily armored infantry and cavalry, the player should primarily invest their economy in Equestria Pony Riders, though they can train some Hussar horses to deal with Canterlot High's monks and catapults. Because Equestria Pony Riders no longer have 0 frame delay, Luna will need to deploy some of his pikemen to protect them against Nightmare Moon's knights. Meanwhile, the Equestria Pony Riders should snipe the CHS knights before they can hit the presidential pikemen. Additionally, Luna should build his trebuchets to deal with Nightmare Moon's thick fortifications.

While preparing their assault on the Nightmare Moon's easternmost base, the Presidential Army should construct multiple towers on the hill southwest of the cliff passage. These will serve as both production buildings for President Diana's army of the Equestria Pony Riders, as well as a presidential bulwark. If the Canterlot High threaten the towers with their trebuchets and capped rams, immediately send Equestria Pony Riders and Hussars to destroy them. The towers around Canterlot City can deal with most of the rest, but it would be good to use Equestria Pony Riders to cut them off more efficiently. President Diana should have his civilians used to build the towers and work on the gold after they're done; if Nightmare Moon's soldiers start attacking them, garrison them in one of the towers.

Rumor has it that the Canterlot Presidential Army should be ready to bring the fight back to the Canterlot High. First, they should use their trebuchets to knock down the towers in Canterlot High's base. The Canterlot High will retaliate with large numbers; Luna should cut them off with his Equestria Pony Riders. He should take advantage of the hill attack bonus, taking care not to veer too close to the range-boosted tower before it is destroyed. President Diana will also need to heavily micromanage his Equestria Pony Riders with hit-and-run tactics, being especially careful not to let them get hit by Nightmare Moon's catapults. The presidential civilians will lose a lot of their soldiers along the way, so they should never forget to continue producing new Equestria Pony Riders and setting their gathering point to merge with their main army. Eventually, the Canterlot High Loyalists will resign, allowing the player to focus purely on the Canterlot High main headquarters.

In stark contrast to the CHS Loyalists, Equestria Pony Riders fare poorly against the Canterlot High's army, which is primarily comprised of ranged units and melee cavalry. Therefore, the Canterlot Presidential Army should begin producing fully upgraded Equestria Pony Riders instead. After clearing the remainder of the Nightmare Moon's guard tower villages, they should be ready to attack their main base at the bottom of the map. The Canterlot Presidential Army should begin by sending their Trojan Pony inside of Manehattan, destroying the rest of the Canterlot High's towers with their trebuchets while using their Equestria Pony Riders to take out enemy soldiers and kill Nightmare Moon inside. After Nightmare Moon has been assassinated, and Canterlot High School has been destroyed, the scourge of Allah has come that Princess Aulia and her Canterlot High allies will meet doom. Luna and his family will be victorious.

## Outro

*The forces of Canterlot High School were powerful but too disorganized to cope with multiple invasions. When Canterlot Presidential Army and its Vernadian ally launched a two-pronged attack, Princess Aulia and the Canterlot High armies panicked as if they will meet their doom by the wrath of Allah. The mighty Petrovburg beasts of war and swift, accurate Vernadian pony archers crushed the disorientated enemy within eight days.*

*By destroying Canterlot High School without mercy, Petrovburg gains a great victory, the ideology of Pancasila has been saved, Communism and Zionism faded into history.*

*Under the leadership of President Diana, Petrovburg once more became a worthy rival to Equestria, while the Petrovburger nationalists established themselves in the vacuum left by the Canterlot High Forces.*
