Growing Pains

Growing Pains is the second map of the Reign of the Hittites campaign in the Age of Empires demo. The Hittites must recover a Ruin from the Hittite Rebellion.

Scenario Instructions

The Hittite civilization has increased in size and has begun to develop a central government with you as their supreme leader. For the most part, this process has been peaceful, but a small rebel faction in the northeast territory opposes your rule. These rebels have overtaken a Ruin sacred to your people and refuse to return it. If you cannot remove them from this place, your subjects will lose faith in your leadership and the fledling Hittite Empire will collapse.

Objective

• Lead a war party to the northeast to capture the Ruin currently held by rebels.

Strategy

You start off with an army of Bowmen and Axemen, and a Scout. The enemy has soldiers scattered all over the map, and some Watch Towers protecting the Ruin to the north.

Head east. Avoid fighting if you can - the more soldiers you have for the final attack, the better. When you reach the edge, head north. The Ruin is protected by several towers, but destroying them will cost you too many troops, so just run past them. Kill every soldier surrounding the Ruin until it's yours.
