This game needs a very good computer to play it and still have
fun. I have a 700MHz Celeron, 768MB RAM (256MB+512MB), and a VooDoo 3
3000. I would say this is a pretty good system but the game still runs
very laggy (about 10-15fps), even when only a few units are on screen.
I recommend you turn the game settings to best performance if you are
having problems (I did).
The in game graphics are OK; they aren't the best I've seen.
Each unit is a low-poly model and this can be seen when the game zooms
in for cinematic sequences. The faces of the models are just two quads,
with a face texture on them. The terrain is also decent. Even with all
these low quality models and textures the game still won't run fast on
my system. But set everything else aside the game is fun, and that s
all that matters.

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 1

Overview: Steal a dock, sail across a river, and make a few
buildings.
You start off with an easy mission, invade a city with more
people and better technology, and take over their ships and sail to a
new land... OK maybe it's not so simple. When you start off get your
some of your citizens and start chopping the down the forest closest to
your town center. Take the others and kill a goat and take its food.
Now take 1 citizen and make a barracks then put the citizen back to
work. Start making rock throwers and clubmen. Upgrade them if you want.
Train guys until you re out of both iron and gold if you want there is
some gold southwest of your town center but you don't need it. Now
start heading west, leave your citizens for now.
When you reach the hostile city follow the coast and look for
the dock. Kill anybody who attacks you and one of those heroes can heal
so you shouldn't be hurting too bad. Start making transports, and when
you're ready to leave gather your citizens and shove off. Oh before you
leave make sure you have at least 500 wood.
Sail west and if you get attacked at sea just ignore them
until you get to the coast. Land on the coast and continue west until
you come to a big plateau. Get your citizens to make a settlement,
barracks and a temple there. Wasn't that an easy game?
***********************************************************************
5.2)--------------Warriors From the Sea: 2,000-1,500BC-----------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 4
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: Escape from an island, make an army and kill 2 town
centers.
You start off on an island with a few citizens and some sword
guys. Your objective here is to get off the island as fast as possible.
First build a capitol and start chopping some wood. Then build a dock
and make 3 or 4 war rafts, and a few transports. There s gold to the
east if you need it, it's guarded by a few guys who are easy to kill. I
wouldn't recommend getting this gold, all it will do is lengthen your
stay on the island. If you stay on the island too long (way too long)
the Minoans will slaughter you with a huge army, you don't stand a
chance, don't think you do.
When you set sail head north. There will probably be a whole
lot of offensive BATTLESHIP'S!!! What you do is when you run into a
battleship just attack it with one of your ships, and leave that ship
behind. Don't let any of your transports die. You don't stand a chance
against the battleships, don't try to win (you don't stand a chance
against much do you?) Anyway get to the island; it's not a very far
sail, BTW its north incase you didn't know.
Once on the island you can get to the Argos plateau on your
map without running into any enemies. You'll be left alone here pretty
much except for a few stone throwers but those are easy. Your first
goal is to get the copper age. Get a bunch of food, and iron and get
into the copper age! Once you upgraded epochs you have unlimited food
(granaries) and good long range troops (simple bowmen). Build a lot of
macemen, and bowmen, and upgrade them too. If you want stone for some
reason it southwest of your plateau but you may have to fight off some
cavalry to get to it.
Now that the first town is out of the way you can
go onto to the Messenians. They are southwest of the last town you
leveled, be careful there are still Achaian horsemen around, because
the have another village in the northwest corner. When you attack the
Messenians you'll notice they have towers, destroy these fast with your
sampsons, and guard your sampsons with your bowmen. After the first
tower is dead head in and kill another. After that it should be really
easy, all your bowmen can kill any of their troops with 2 or 3 hits.
Just use the sampsons on the town center and you won.
***********************************************************************
5.3)------------------The Trojan War: 1,300-1,100BC--------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 5
Overview: Get army from some people, kill some guys, and get a
Trojan horse!
Now the game tells you to invade Troy, but that's not what
you re gonna do, since you don't have a big enough army yet. What you
are gonna do is invade the city north of your city. There aren't many
towers so it'll be easy, I managed to do it without losing a single
guy. First send a citizen scout to find the passage to their city and
then unload your army out at the beginning of that passage. Kill
anything on your path. Once you get to the towers; kill them one at a
time with some sampsons. Once you get to the gate use your sampsons to
tear it down. Inside the city, destroy any troops there, and also
destroy the barracks, ect so they'll leave you alone. After blowing
everything up you'll have unguarded iron and gold at your disposal.
Also you'll get some civilization points. Just send over some citizens,
make 2 settlements, 1 next to gold, and 1 next to iron. Then select 5
citizens and populate one into a town center. Then just build a bunch
more citizens for your use.
Think you're ready? Well, let s see. If your whole army can
fit on the Odyssean transports supplied to you, your army isn't big
enough. Also cram on board some citizens, get the ones who aren't
mining stone. Give them their own transport (put 10 citizens in it),
also keep this transport separate from the rest so you don't unload all
your citizens and then die. When you re navigating the sea with your
battleships you'll come across a fleet of 5 battleships, kill them and
then stop here. This is where you will unload your troops. You must
have all the kings meet here first, so make sure their on the
transports too.
When you land Agamemnon will spot the towers north of you,
and says the camp must be far from them, well you heard him... make
camp. Unload your citizens and make a wall to enclose your troops, make
a gate so you can get in and out, but the Trojans can't, and then line
then wall with towers. You should have upwards of 6000 stone, so don't
skimp on the towers! Also inside your camp you should build a few
barracks, archery ranges, stables, a hospital, and a temple. Now just
use hit and run tactics. Hit them a couple of times with an archer or
better yet, cast malaria with a prophet the run back to camp, let the
archers and towers kill them. After you get rid of the standing army,
send in your sampsons along with Agamemnon to heal. Use them to kill
the 2 towers then attack the gate. When you attack the gate you'll get
a message saying it's hopeless. Gather your kings back at the beach and
you'll be instructed to build a temple up north. Clear a path for your
citizens, and build a temple. Or even easier just put them on a
transport and sail them up there!
After you build the temple watch the Trojan Horse pop up out
of nowhere with no cool special effects at all. Anyway load it up with
troops, and be sure to set their unit behavior to stand ground or else
they'll attack the temples and you were told not to do that. Be sure to
put the elite troops you got from the kings in there, a few archers,
and some sampsons. Don't bring a prophet thinking you can just use
malaria, because it's disabled once you get in. Just kill the king afar
with your archers, he won't do anything. Use your elite troops to kill
anything that goes after the archers. And use the sampsons to kill the
archery range, stable, and barracks. Once the king is dead kill his
guards, then move in with your sampsons. After the palace falls you
win!

5.5)---------------The Peloponnesian Wars: 427-404BC-------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun (1-5): 2
Overview: Get trapped in a city. Sail around on the sea in slow
boats back and forth a lot. Die of plague. Make an
army and kill a small, spread out army.
When this scenario starts gather up all your units that are
outside the city walls, and bring them in. And make your citizens start
chopping wood. Sparta will attack you and you don't stand a chance,
yet. Pericles has an idea, so bring him up the Parthenon, and he will
tell the city they need to stockpile 10,000 food. You can't do it alone
(well you probably could it would just take way too long). The lack of
food will cause a plague that will hurt your citizens and military
units. When it says "WERE UNDER ATTACK" go and find the sick unit and
bring him to the hospital to be healed; careful... he can spread it to
others. Anyway go to your capital and get 3 diplomats, then go to your
docks and build a whole bunch of battleships and frigates, don't worry
about transports, they will be provided. Once you have a good fleet go
and clear the way to the 2 spots on your map, and bring your diplomats
to the docks, and they will turn into a diplomatic transport. Now bring
the ships to the docks. Somewhere along the way a new spot on your map
will come up, send a diplomat there too. After you sent your diplomats
out you'll have 6 grain shipments, gold, and iron mine. Clear the way
for your shipments to come back (Sparta put more ships out so you need
to kill those too). Once you get the shipments you'll have over 15,000
food.
***********************************************************************
5.6)-------------------Young Alexander: 336 334BC----------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: Defeat 3 armies, develop combat skills.
-=His strategy=-
Send in the cavalry, zip past the front and
attack from behind. Grouping will help. Take your companion cavalry
along with Alexander send them to back and take care of the siege
weapons. Keep the phalanxes in front of your archers, and take out the
melee units with your archers. I would recommend saving before this, it
may take a few tries.
-=My strategy=-
Stop your army a little past the yellow
flags. Take Aristotle and walk him forward slowly. When you see the
army, cast malaria and run. When the guys reach your army they'll have
barely any HP left, kill them no problem. After their entire front line
is DEMOLISHED all they have left is a couple of archers and stone
throwers, take these out with phalanxes/archers/cavalry. Just be sure
to send Aristotle out of the way, because that s the first person
they'll attack.
Either way you do it, after you beat them you'll get some
money... I think you know what to do with it... huh? You don't know???
Rebuild your army, and add to it, also upgrade _a_little_. Next keep
going south until you run into Athens s army, it'll be even easier than
the last battle because now you have an even bigger army to work with.
If you re using my strategy stop your army right where the road you re
on turns southwest. As soon as you finish fighting this battle you have
must defend against the Spartan army. You have two choices of where
to fight this battle, on a road when they land on the island, or behind
your walls. Each has its advantages, choose where you want to fight it.
If you go for behind your walls, gather all your troops and citizens
and lock the gates. Whenever a gate becomes damaged, repair with
citizens, also be sure to check the walls, as they will be attacked
too. If one of your walls breaks take all your military units there,
and kill the Sparta as they bottleneck through your wall, and surround
your palace with citizens to repair. But, the time they get into the
city your archers will have totally injured their entire army, so they
should go down quick. If you choose to fight on the road, go to the
spot on your map with a yellow flag, mobilize and use the strategy you
used for all the other battles.
***********************************************************************
5.7)-----------------A Conqueror is Born: 334 332BC--------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 4
Overview: Defeat the Persian army, and storm a city.
When you gain control of your units after the opening scene,
go to the flags by the sea. Take your army and stop in middle of the
water, your front line should be on just on the opposite coast. Take
Philotus and make him ride ahead until he finds the army. Advance until
the army starts chasing him, then go into the back of your army. The
enemies who followed you will only be interested in kill Philotus, and
won't even attack your other troops! Just keep doing this over and over
until the army runs away.
The city is blocked with a wall, that has no gates, and then
a wall with a gate. This is good for you, the enemy gets trapped in
this chamber where you can take them out easy, use catapults/archers.
While you are killing those destroy the gate on the other side, and the
tower next to it. Now take your prophets and use hurricane on some
ships, clear a path for your catapult ships. Move the catapult ships
next to the land bridge, and attack the towers. After guys stop coming
out of the city, blow up the wall and move in. Use your catapults to
destroy the capitol, you phalanxes to guard them, and Alexander to
heal. It's not that hard, you should be able to do it. One thing you
should do is set all your generals to a team. Every now and then select
the team to check on their HP, if any of them dies you lose.
***********************************************************************
5.8)------------------And Alexander Wept: 332 330BC--------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 5
Overview: Defeat some villages, seize Babylonia, kill Persia,
and weep.
The last of the Greek campaign and it's a good one. When you
start spend your money and make some more guys. Even out with cavalry,
and make more phalanxes. Now start traveling east until you run into a
small village. You are presented with a question, destroy the village
and take the loot, or make a town center and get your own village,
which do you choose? Well both of course! Raze the whole village, every
building and get the gold and iron. Then take your citizens and make a
settlement next to the wood. Also make a barracks, archery range,
stable and siege factory. Start shopping wood now. Spend the rest of
your money on making more units (no catapults yet), and upgrading.
Don't worry about any defense; you re the only aggressor in this one.
Now east from here is the Persian army, go there. You need to
wipe out half of them. They have elephant archers, and powerful
cavalry. You should use the luring tactic again here, be careful though
that narrow passage can easily get clogged, and that deadly. If you are
having trouble use some citizens to make a tower or two, but you
shouldn't need to do this. After this army is beaten make some
catapults at your siege factory. If you population is maxed out then
send some units east toward the tomb, they'll die. Anyway, max out your
population and start heading east from where you fought the last battle
(east NOT south east!!) When you get to the gates, destroy the 2 tower
with your catapults, and then the gate. If you want you can put a unit
at the gate and some elephant archers will come out, you can kill those
with your army, get some elephants out of the way. When the gates come
down you can just storm in, no tactics needed you should be fine.

6.1)---------------The Return of Young William: 1040-------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: Kill some enemies, kill some bandits, get a couple of
catapults, and siege a castle...
Not a very hard scenario to do. When you first start out
you ll have some money. Select a unit and you can upgrade their stuff.
I recommend upgrading archers speed with your money because their
pretty slow. Don t spend too much though you'll need it a little later.
Now that your done walk east on the path a little way until
some archers attack you. Just select all your guys and right click the
archers until they die. Now look on your mini-map and you ll see a blue
spot south of where you are, go there. Once here you ll get some
knights and pikemen added to your army.
Start going southeast towards the blue spot on your map, and
cross the bridge. When you get to the town send some guys east, they'll
run into a few enemies, kill them all. You'll find a town that gives
you some stone. Now send a guy southeast to find an engineer who will
sell siege weapons 500 stone a piece, buy 3 trebuchets. Now go north to
the castle and kill it. The trebuchets have slightly longer range than
the towers. Just send in some trebuchets to kill the towers. After you
fell some towers troops come running at you, kill them with your
troops, be sure not to walk into range of a tower and die! Rinse and
repeat; send citizens in as scouts if you are unsure. After you destroy
the keep watch it sink into the ground...

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: A lose cannon jester who doesn't play by the rules...
Get an army, kill another army...
Once there William heals Gollet and William gets a horse. Now
leave the city from the east exit or you'll die. On your way there just
you ll find some other rebels, use Gollet as bait and kill them with
William. Keep going down the path until you find a church, William goes
in and prays, and when he comes out a group of riders is coming. Leave
the church and hide in the bushes directly across (there s a big red
flag there).
Keep following the trail and you'll come across a village and
pick up 3 knights. Next on your journey is an "ambush" (2 archers) but
their on a cliff so just ride by them and then stop, William will heal
everyone. Now right here set William and Gollet (if he's alive) to team
1, and the 3 knights to team 2. Now when the cinematic pops up be sure
not to click anything until it s done or you'll be killed by them. When
it s over you'll see the knights not to far from you, send in team 2
(the 3 knights) and then team 1 (William & Gollet) around the battle.
After the escape you'll find yourself in a city, you get some
more troops. Go to the town northwest of your location and pick up some
more troops, after defeating the champion (pretty easy). You'll also
find some on the road. Also go to the town east (you have to go south
past the river to get there). Once you have that go meet Henrys army
(it s on the map). Now just kill the army and you re done with this
scenario. (Notice how Henry sat in the back row and didn't fight at
all). With the army that you've built up by now it should be pretty
easy.

Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: Build an army, sail over sea, kill an army, and then
kill a king.
Start ignoring iron and food and concentrate on wood and gold
now. Build enough transports for your whole army (I had 6) and with the
left over population build battleships. Upgrade the battleships and
shove off! Go to the middle spot on you map and land, be careful
frigates will attack you be sure to kill them before you lose a
transport. When you land there will be 2 archers on a cliff, kill those
before passing or your troops will get hung up and disorganized (this
actually happened to me and I lost). After they are dead pass through
and kill the army. If William dies during the fight he'll only lose his
horse, run up to the hill or you will lose the battle.

Overview: Sink a few ships, get some stone, build an army, and
then storm a castle.
When you feel you're strong enough move east. You'll run into
a hostile French city, kill them all. Head over the shallow land bridge
and do some more killing. Destroy two towers and some farms, cross a
bridge. Now getting in can prove quite tricky, they have a seemingly
endless supply of archers, knights, and ballistae (plural for
ballista!). Destroy the towers with your siege weapons, and hopefully
break through the defense and make it into the town with a good sized
army. There s also a small strip of land just a LITTLE east from the
bridge (you can probably see if from the bridge). Drop off trebuchets
here, and you can snipe off a bunch of building with no problem. The
wall will protect you; you can also send Black Prince to heal if
needed. Also watch out for priests they can convert your units and use
them against you. And one more thing during the game some other country
(France I think) will keep attacking you and you can't seem to destroy
them. I just built a huge wall and they stopped at the wall and did
nothing at all (no rhyme intended). Good luck on this one this is the
first one that might hold you up.

Overview: Kind of annoying, you have to visit a whole bunch of

Then storm a castle, and beat an army who outnumbers
you by a whole lot.
Now bring Henry and the Earl (your only 2 units) to the fords
outside Nesle (keep going east from the city you just destroyed). Well
after all that you get your units back. Your citizens stopped working
so put them all back to work. Remember the barracks ect you made
earlier? Rebuild your army to max population you should have plenty of
resources by now. OK... follow this strategy I made; I used it and only
lost 1 trebuchet as a casualty. Have your archers, and trebuchets range
and attack maxed out. When you cross the river there are two hills, one
on each side. Each hill has 2 cannons that will attack you, kill them
with your trebuchet(s). Make sure the Earl is right next to the
trebuchet to heal it. After the cannons are dead move forward with the
trebuchet, because it has good sight range, until you find some troops,
attack them and then run to the back row. The units you attacked will
come running for the trebuchet and won't attack ANYTHING else. Just
kill them all before they reach it. Repeat this until all the troops
are dead. Also your archers can substitute as trebuchets, except for
killing cannons. And a final note... the enemy archers are instructed
to hold ground so as long as you stay out of their range they won t do
anything!

6.7)--------------The War Against Napoleon: 1806-1814------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 4
Fun (1-5): 4
Overview: Make an army, free some cities, and defeat Napoleons
army.
400 years have passed and technology has advanced a lot while
you were gone. It is no long the middle ages epoch, now it s the
industrial epoch. No more swords, your troops use guns now, you also
have mobile cannons. Use your new technology wisely. Now to start the
scenario, go southeast and gain control of your army. Don't upgrade
anything yet. Head in to your transports and let your frigates lead the
way. After you reach Lisbon go toward the docks with your frigates
before unloading, and kill that cannon they have from afar, also weaken
the troops. Then unload and kill the rest of them. Stay put at the edge
of town with your frigates on the coast. Some more troops will come
from the west, kill them since you have frigate backup it shouldn't be
that hard.
Go north east and kill most of the infantry here. Junot will
surrender, MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS if you don't the game won't tell you
otherwise and will keep giving you instructions, and you won't be able
to build an army!!! OK... now you have a new mission: defeat enemies at
Talavera. The city you were just in becomes yours, start getting
resources. After you get some resources make some bombardments and
serpentines from your siege factory. Send them south to kill the two
towers at Badajoz. Continue in to the town and kill two more. Before
you kill the last tower send a decent army just above the land bridge.
When you kill the last tower Spanish rebels will storm out of the city
and attack the French, you back them up.
Now that the first defense army outside Talavera is gone you
can move in. When that city is liberated go onto Salamanca. Go left
into the dirt and lure the enemies to where you re other infantry are.
After you kill that cluster there s another one a little ways away from
that. Kill them too. Rebuild your army if needed, and gather all your
citizens. Also use any remaining money to upgrade or max out your
population. Now head east to the mountains be careful, there are 4
snipers up high, kill them with Wellesly. When the snipers are dead
take your citizens and build lots of towers on the highest land you can
find and mobilize your troops in the middle. Then just wait for the
French to attack. If they don't attack just lure them in with a cannon
or something. On the mountains you'll have a height advantage and
you'll have towers too. Just keep shooting and when most of the enemies
are dead the rest will run away. ! During this battle when I was
playing Wellesly actually died, and I got the message saying that all
hope is lost ect ect, but then it cut to the scene of the French
running away...

***********************************************************************
6.8)----------------The Battle of Waterloo: 1815-----------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 4
Overview: Just slaughter Napoleons army, that s the jist of it.
You start off this one as a messenger for Wellesly. Once you
gain control, start heading southeast. Along the forest path there will
be some snipers, kill them if you want or just ride by, it won't
matter. Just follow the path to the first place on the map and you'll
find Blucher's army. He sends a messenger back to Wellesly but he never
got there. Wellesly decides to mobilize his army and doesn't know
whether or not Blucher will help.
Now once you get your citizens don't worry about resources,
you have all you need. Head to Belgium and build a base a little south
of them, on the big hill. This should also be southeast of Brussels.
Make 2 barracks, 2 stables, and 1 siege factory. Now make a settlement
next to the stone and get stone for awhile. I should also mention that
you need to be VERY quick about everything. As soon as you finish
making the stables start training dragoons. As soon as the barracks
finish start training British Infantry. And when the siege factory
finishes start making serpentines and bombardments. When you have a
decent army send them south to Quatre Bras, and get ready for an
attack. If you get the message that the French are going to attack
Quatre Bras, and you're not their yet, start moving! When the French
start coming toward you take care of their cannons with your
bombardments and serpentines. Also at the same time you need to tell
your citizens (engineers) to make a hospital at the edge of the hill.
Then make as many towers as you can on the hill and at the bottom. Make
the towers as if an attack were coming from Quatre Bras, and upgrade
the towers range.

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: First save a damsel in distress, chop down a tree,
take some pictures, and blow stuff up
Now that the path is cleared take Manfred and Holck west past
the trees. You'll come across a small base, just get right up on the
barracks and Holck takes a picture. Follow the path west and take some
more pictures of another base on the path. Keep following the path and
you'll come across another base, take pictures of that one too. When
you find this one the hospital becomes yours, heal if needed. Now from
this base go north and take pictures of that one too. If you get
attacked don't worry, just run away.
When you get the 4 pictures you'll get control of the army
that's advancing from the west. Train 3 or 4 medics, 3 artillery
cannons, and about 5 cavalry anythings. Upgrade range on your troops,
and attack if you feel like it. Also you should set all unit behavior
to stand ground. Now move forward slowly killing anything that gets in
your way and healing with a medic. When the pillbox starts attacking
you pull back all but one infantry, use your medics to heal him as he's
being shot. You need him as a spotter for your artillery, just use the
cannons on the pillbox, it'll die really quick. Now comes for killing
their artillery. Advance until you get hit by the artillery, then fall
back a bit and heal. Take one of your cavalries and send it right next
to the enemy artillery and then shoot it with your cannons. This will
take a few tries. Now advance forward some more, kill another cannon,
then just push with all your soldiers.
When the path is cleared take Manfred and Holck and go to the
camp. Find the headquarters tent, and go there. Scenario beaten!

Now move in south, with fighters and bombers for backup, you
should totally demolish this base easy. After you're done you should
have lost some troops, so you have some population to use, make lots of
citizens, I put 5 to each resource, and 8 to wood. Put 2 or 3 on a
transport and bring them south to the town, build lots of AA guns ASAP,
also make a hospital, and DON'T make a barracks on the big blue spot
yet! I suggest you stay put here for a while, until you get a lot of
money (I went and ate lunch). All they send is airplanes, so your AA
guns should kill them easily, you also have a hospital to heal if they
do get hit. Eventually Britain will get restless, but they only send a
couple of machine gunners at a time, but be sure to have a few tanks at
your base. When you're ready you should build two airports at your new
base, and transfer all your airplanes to there. Be sure to keep a unit
near each building, or you won't be able to use it!

Now comes Denmark, they have ships that can attack you from
sea, but their not too much of a challenge. Just lead in with bombers
like always to scout out the terrain. Heading, kill the towers with
your artillery, kill tanks with your tanks, airplanes with panzers.
When you beat them build a settlement, and populate it. Watch a quick
cinematic of Buckingham palace... surrounded by airports and AA guns??

7.6)-----------------Preparations For Invasion: 1940-------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 2
Overview: Kill a lot of ships and airplanes.
Hey look, it's the Eiffel tower! .....even though you razed
it last time..... When you start off this scenario make lots of
citizens, and then scatter your base with AA guns (lots). Get lots of
gold, iron, wood, and some stone. Don't get the wood on the coast, go
more inland and get wood, where the ships can't hit you from sea. When
you get some more money, make lots of subs, and a good bit of cruisers.
Be sure to keep a lot of subs over where the battleship is under
construction, Britain loves to attack that place. Also put some subs
northwest from your south base, in between you and Britain, because
they attack you from the coast. When you get enough money make a
lighthouse some where close to the coast, and put a lot of AA guns by
it. Also make an Espionage Headquarters. If you can manage to find some
convoys, sink them... you'll get 250 of everything.
Once you wipe out at least all their docks, naval yards, and
airports, start making lots and lots of sub. Also make a transport, and
get a few citizens ready. Move the subs west and destroy all the ships
you come across. When it's safe send your transport to the west island
(Ireland) and unload your citizens. Build a lighthouse in the middle of
the island, and make LOTS of AA guns (unless you already destroyed all
the airports). This lighthouse will give you sight of almost the whole
sea. Now take your subs and go southwest until you come across a whole
bunch of battleships, start sinking. This is the home fleet. It's
composed of like 30 battleships, a carrier, and just a few frigates. Be
sure to kill frigates as soon as you see them. Just keep sinking stuff
until you win (this gets real old fast).

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun (1-5): 4
Overview: Sneak out of town in a potato truck, and hit a city
with 5 nukes at once.
The first of the Russian campaign, 2018 AD. Your first goal
is to get Grigor out of the city. What you do first is take Pyotr, and
get in the car. Leave Grigor behind for now. Head northeast to the
granary to find a potato truck, get out of your car and in the truck.
Now go back to Grigor and pick him up. Get rid of some of the fog of
war in the city, since you have full access right now. When your done
go to the gates and you'll leave the city easy. Head southeast, once
you get there you'll see a little cinematic.
Once you have enough money, upgrade into the digital age,
this is a much needed upgrade. Go through the city and check all your
buildings, and upgrade your towers, guns, tanks, and everything else
that needs it. Now comes destroying Voronezh, upgrade one of your
airplanes (I forgot which one) into titan bombers. Make 4 or 5 of
these, send one out to fly around your base to upgrade it, then send it
back. Now if you explored around Voronezh like I told you to at the
beginning, you may have noticed a section without many AA guns. By this
time in the game Ukraine probably already blew these up, if not blow
them up yourself, or send a flare there. It's at the west side of the
city; the wall there should have zero AA. You may want to make a few
more airports so you can launch out more nukes at once. Once you have
enough select all the airports, and set their rally points to right in
front of that wall with no defenses. Once they all get there, send them
in all at once to blow up the capitol. With any luck, at least 1 will
get by those AA guns, and nuke them to death.

there too. You'll probably lose both of your hyperions, but it doesn't
matter, as soon as you blow up the fortress and kill the few guys that
come out, you win.

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun (1-5): 3
Overview: Convert 8 factories, fly around, stop a time machine,
and steal technology.
This scenario is a little tougher than the last one, but not
as hard as "Novaya Russia." Your mission is to convert 8 cyber
factories and\or laboratories. When you start of your located a little
northwest of a small town, head in and destroy their army, then all the
universities. DON'T DESTROY ANYTHING ELSE. After you kill the army
you'll gain control of a temple. Make all your cybers stand ground and
put them out of town for a while. Make sure not to blow up the farm
west of you town, you'll need it. Go to the temple and make a bunch of
priests and start converting the town. All you NEED to convert is just
the cyber factories, but for defensive reasons I recommend converting
the entire town (houses included). Once you've converted all you need
take your cybers in the town to guard. Now take your priests west a bit
to the farm, and start converting citizens. Once you get a citizen send
him to the iron and gold, and build a capitol right in the middle. Once
the capitol is done you'll notice you can't build citizens, you must
convert them. Just keep converting citizens from the farm, Beijing will
replenish them for you, so just keep converting. If you want you can
head farther west to find more. Once you have enough start making LOTS
of AA guns, the computer AI wants revenge for all the nuking you did to
them. They'll send in nukes every now and then so be prepared. You
should also make a few towers to help defend. Now with your citizens,
make a granary and start getting food... also get gold, iron/wood/stone
isn't important.
Correction from: Mr.Rashid Fikree
---
In the 4th Russian campaign-jewel in the east-first when we enter the
town and destroy its army and university, and train priests, you said
that we convert everything including houses, but that is wrong; becuase
if you convert houses the enemy will send nukes on you, but if you
don't convert houses the enemy won't send nukes.

Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun (1-5): 4
Overview: Pretty easy one if you do it my way, pretty hard if
you don't, the choice is yours. Blow up Cuba, Blow up
Russia.
When you start Grigor goes crazy and kills all your
transports, so there's no backing out. Go west until you hit some gold,
iron, stone, and wood. Build a capitol right in between the iron and
gold. Put all your guys with attack out ahead the road a little bit.
Now begin pumping out citizens from your capitol, make lots and lots.
Put 6 on gold, 6 on iron, 6 on food (make a granary in the southeast
area), and about 4-5 on wood. Make 3 or 4 cyber factories, an airport,
and a hospital. Now make a wall all around the coast so nothing from
sea can attack you. Also make a few towers on the west side, not many
you won't need them. If you have less than 1500 stone then start
getting more. As you get food and gold make the ares II cybers
(upgraded cybers from the ones you used last scenario). Get at least 15
of these and head west into the base right next to you. While you're
doing this if you have the money, make some titan bombers. Totally raze
this little city with your ares', you shouldn't have much of a problem.
Now if you don't have many cybers left make some more.
Now for Cuba... Your cybers can just fly over water so head
up to Cuba. NOTE: There is a bug in the game that will make it so when
you right click to move with your ares, the little ring will show up
red, but you can still move there. Once in Cuba your mission here isn't
to totally raze everything, because after your there for a little while
fighters will tear you up. Kill every AA gun you come across, you may
also need to kill the guardians, they can be a real nuisance. Be sure
to leave some ares' at home to protect against ships and stuff. After
all your ares' in Cuba are dead you should have some titan bombers done
by now. Send them in and start nuking. Nuke up until where your ares'
died. While their nuking make more ares'... continue until you totally
kill all of Cuba. Be sure to kill those airports ASAP. Once you're done
in Cuba make some docks and 3-4 towers as close as you can get them to
the dock. Make a couple of frigates and start blowing up subs as they
come to you, the towers will help. You can use hyperions to blow up
subs, but towers and frigates are easier. Anyway, once you've blown up
a lot of subs make a transport. Pack on 5 citizens and head to Cuba,
keep the frigates nearby.

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 4
Fun (1-5): 4
Overview: Same map as the first mission, but now you must
destroy Novaya Russia.
This mission is very hard, you only have modern age troops,
while Novaya Russia is in the nano age. The first thing you should do
is start making tons of tanks from all your tank factories, make about
20. Also at the same time make lots of citizens, put 6 on gold, 6 on
iron, 6 on stone, 8 on food, and 6 on wood (build another settlement
east). Also make some more citizens for defense. Your first task is to
get some good defense, line your entire wall with towers, and upgrade
their range. After you line the wall with towers, line it again with AA
guns, upgrade their attack, range, and HP. You should also wall in the
area that leads to your wood choppers. Then take Molotov and Molly to
the Ukraine, they'll ally with you, but it won't make too much of a
difference. I sent a flare and they sent in 2 trench mortars. Once you
ally send them both to the back corner of your base out of harms way.

anyone who steps in your way with artillery or tanks. When you come
across a big army, send in your airplanes, bomb them to death. If you
have no airplanes then try to use the 'Lure' tactic. Trench warfare
isn't about whoever has more strategy, it's who has more fire power.

When the enemy attacks you can pick them off a few at a time.
Be sure to keep some citizens handy to repair the tower, because it
will probably become damaged over time. There is one problem with this,
however, sometimes the attackers will become frustrated and just attack
your walls. At this point you'll have to go out your base to get them,
but then you'll get bottlenecked. To avoid this don't make it too
narrow. One other problem you may encounter is if you don't make enough
holes. Again, they'll just attack the wall at some random spot to get
in, so be sure to make enough holes, and position them where the
attacks will come from.

Q: Knock Knock.
A: Shut up.
Q: What do all the wonders do? Their descriptions aren't all that
detailed.
A: Well...
-The Temple of Zeus makes your units be able to heal
themselves. Its not like a steady heal, it heals a certain
amount every second.
-The Pharos Lighthouse lets you see anything in water, for a
certain distance from the lighthouse, but don't worry its
range is pretty massive.
-The Coliseum makes your population limit higher, and your
enemy's population limit lower. I believe it is by 15%.
-The Library at Alexandria does just what it says, reveals
enemy buildings.
-The Ishtar Gates double the HP of your walls\towers\gates
-The Tower of Babylon this great wonder allows you to convert
an entire group of enemies at once.
Note: These are the Greek names, all the campaigns will show
a different name, but same effect.
Q: Why don't you use colors in your guide? Their much easier.
A: If you'll notice... during the scenarios colors and countries
change a lot. In one mission a certain country can be 4
different colors throughout the scenario.
Q: Why can't I use cheats in the campaign? Do you have any way I
can cheat? Do you have any hacks? Do you cheat? Can you help me
cheat?
A: NO! STOP ASKING! The campaign isn't that hard, beat it on your
own!
Q: Bla bla bla bla bla campaign editor bla bla bla.
A: I don't know.
Q: Do you have the expansion, and can you write a FAQ for it.
A: I wrote this FAQ over my summer vacation, and well I just don't
have enough time. I might do it over some other break I get,
but I'll probably have other things to do. If GameFAQ's doesn't
have a guide for the expansion by summer then I'll write one,
that's a promise. Oh, and no... I don't have the expansion yet.
