5: Campaign Tips
1: EXPANSION RISE OF ROME
1: Birth of Rome
Build your towers to the north first. Build a storage pit on the
cliff side for quick stone gathering. Also be sure to build a dock on
the shore north of your city to reach the LAST two towers built. Do
not expect much interference once your towers are up.
2: Pyrrus of Epirus
Mass your navy in one spot, but do not attack without triremes and
juggernaughts. Siegecraft are essential to the attack. I suggest,
however, that you simply use the fleet as a diversion. Move you troops
along the path north of your city to Pyrrus' army's citadel. The trick
is to build towers all along the path, so if you retreat all the units
following you will suffer severe damage. The enemy army consists
mostly of elephants and cavalry.
3: Syracuse
Move you villagers behind the forest and use it as cover. Keep your
catapults near the area they originally were and use them to keep your
dock's area clear. Move your ships around, toward the northern end of
the landmass your units are on, and order them to stand ground. The
best way to get to Archimedes (he is in the area you have to invade) is
to head to the far west with many Balistae and Archers (some infantry
too) and battle up the hills to the area where Archimedes is surrounded
by walls, markets and government centers. Use the archers and balistae
to attack the balistae in the walled in areas.
4: Metaurus
The main threats are to the north and the south. In the beginning,
the northern army has very little in the way of troops, so ignore them
temporarily. A short way to the south are three more axe men and a
catapult. Take them out immediately. Then, take part of your army
north and kill all the villagers to the north. To the south, infantry
will be more important than siege weapons.
5: Zama
The best place for a wonder is just east of your city, between the
lake and the forest. Build towers on all the cliffsides around your
city. The weakest point in defense is to the far east.
6: Mithridates
Your fleet will fall under attack almost immediately, so once the
first threat is defeated head slightly northwest. Stay between the two
forests and build towers to protect either end. Also disperse your
fleet and troops throughout the area. When I say this, I mean still
avoid contact, but try to find advanced signs of attack. When your
area seems stable, advance with catapults, balistae and a horde of
infantry and archers. The area of the wonder is teeming with towers,
so be careful.
2: EXPANSION AVE CAESAR
1: Caesar vs. Pirates
When you start out, you're just Caesar. Don't worry, just run like
'heck' (kiddies might be reading this) to the west. Don't think, just
run. Soon enough, you will reach a small village, it then becomes
yours. Run up next to a tower. Now you're safe. Next, you have to
build up a huge fleet, consisting of triremes and catapult triremes.
There are nine docks in all. Three in the western corner, three in the
southern and three in the center (those might be a little off). Take
out the ones in the center first, then the ones in the western half.
The ones in the southern section are the best defended, so bring that
huge fleet you've been building up just for this occasion.
2: Britain
There are three ruins in total. All three are across the river. To
begin, move all of your units across the river. Do this as quickly as
possible. Once there move all your units except for priests and
transports away from your landing site. Try to convert a villager and
build some method of getting more military units. On the Western side,
expect to run into several priests, catapults, chariots and towers.
Expect more of the same in the center. On the western side, however,
you only have to worry about axe men and a few cavalry, unless you gave
the red army time to cover them. Then, expect still more of the same.
3: Alesia
Like the hints say, complete your fortress as soon as possible.
Build about 15 villagers and set them to work building towers. The
armies on either side of you are in the far corners. The one to the
west is harmless for a great length of time. The army in the east has
archers and long swordmen. Don't forget about siegecraft and archers.
They can fire through the walls. The armies on the inside of the
fortress only have two catapults, but multiple horseback archers. The
actual enemy hero is in a fortification of small walls with four
mounted archers. Balistae anyone?
4: Caesar vs. Pompey
Don't waste time looking for a hero named Pompey. There are two ways
to win this scenario: (1) build a massive army and fight your way
through a city and dozens of towers, taking heavy casualties such that
the victory is so hollow it is almost worthless, or (2) build some
transport ships and float merrily across the river. Bringing with you
of course, enough siege equipment to level Washington D.C., siege
equipment that you built in the safety of a fortress surrounded by
towers. The choice is yours. One point of interest though, using the
cheat E=MC2 TROOPER, you can level the city from the comfort of your
own town center.

1: Caesar vs. Pirates
When you start out, you're just Caesar. Don't worry, just run like
'heck' (kiddies might be reading this) to the west. Don't think, just
run. Soon enough, you will reach a small village, it then becomes
yours. Run up next to a tower. Now you're safe. Next, you have to
build up a huge fleet, consisting of triremes and catapult triremes.
There are nine docks in all. Three in the western corner, three in the
southern and three in the center (those might be a little off). Take
out the ones in the center first, then the ones in the western half.
The ones in the southern section are the best defended, so bring that
huge fleet you've been building up just for this occasion.
2: Britain
There are three ruins in total. All three are across the river. To
begin, move all of your units across the river. Do this as quickly as
possible. Once there move all your units except for priests and
transports away from your landing site. Try to convert a villager and
build some method of getting more military units. On the Western side,
expect to run into several priests, catapults, chariots and towers.
Expect more of the same in the center. On the western side, however,
you only have to worry about axe men and a few cavalry, unless you gave
the red army time to cover them. Then, expect still more of the same.
3: Alesia
Like the hints say, complete your fortress as soon as possible.
Build about 15 villagers and set them to work building towers. The
armies on either side of you are in the far corners. The one to the
west is harmless for a great length of time. The army in the east has
archers and long swordmen. Don't forget about siegecraft and archers.
They can fire through the walls. The armies on the inside of the
fortress only have two catapults, but multiple horseback archers. The
actual enemy hero is in a fortification of small walls with four
mounted archers. Balistae anyone?
4: Caesar vs. Pompey
Don't waste time looking for a hero named Pompey. There are two ways
to win this scenario: (1) build a massive army and fight your way
through a city and dozens of towers, taking heavy casualties such that
the victory is so hollow it is almost worthless, or (2) build some
transport ships and float merrily across the river. Bringing with you
of course, enough siege equipment to level Washington D.C., siege
equipment that you built in the safety of a fortress surrounded by
towers. The choice is yours. One point of interest though, using the
cheat E=MC2 TROOPER, you can level the city from the comfort of your
own town center.
