Players[]
Enemy[]
- Enemy (Isis): Has one Town Center, one Pharaoh, one Priest, and two villagers in the northern part of the map. The only purpose of their presence on the map was to prevent instant victory for the player, and the developers attempted to block any possible interaction between them and the player by impeding access to their base with forests and cliffs.
Strategy[]
The player starts out in the Archaic Age, with Poseidon as the major god. When the player trains a Villager and starts to gather food, seven more Villagers will appear.
The player will be tasked with gathering 100 wood, food, and gold, and then construct a Temple. Once the player gathers five favor at the Temple, the scenario is over.
It is technically possible to attack the enemy by using the Toxotes provided at the start of the scenario, and to win the scenario by conquest. First, cut down all the trees surrounding the enemy base; then, use Arkantos to lure the enemies' ranged attack (from Pharaoh, Priest, and Town Center) away from the Toxotes, while the Toxotes painstakingly attacks the Town Center, 1 HP at a time; Finally, periodically move both Arkantos and the Toxotes out of the enemies' range in order for Arkantos' HP to regenerate.
