Part 13

Move your heroes forward with hoplites and siege units. Let heroes engage the enemy first, then draw them back to be attacked by champion hoplites.

Use your heroes primarily to destroy the colossus.

Use your siege units to destroy any buildings the enemy may create by the temple.

Destroy the dock to gain command of the two pirate ships.

Allow all units to board the pirate ships and head to the blue flag through the channel.

Once you land, create villages and a granary to upgrade farms. Build economically and do not worry about offense until Kamos' scouts detect you.

Build an army of heavy slingers, spearmen, and myth units. Create a Roc or two for air transport.

Use Rocs to transport villagers back to the first island and to bring back the Gold Colossus from the allied temple. Keep these units healed.

When ferrying villagers south, explore the south-most corner for 2 artifacts and two gold mines.

Advance to the Mythic Age. To destroy the Migdol Stronghold on the mountain, place two upgraded siege towers and a collection of upgraded spearmen and slingers in a Roc.

The southern route to the top is less dangerous. Fill 3 Rocs with 5 or more Gold Colossi and a good collection of troops and myth units, then drop them off where Kamos lies.

Use the colossi to drain about half of Kamos' energy to complete the mission.

Regroup if destroyed; there are safe places to rebuild.

Organize your military just out of range of the enemy gates. Boom (create many villagers) and gather resources.

Build a Migdol Stronghold and a temple on the right-hand section of troops, out of range of the gates.

When able, build a market. Use gold only for siege and monuments. Create myth units that do not require gold to fend off attacks.

Heal your troops between waves of attackers.

Recover the artifact between your two forces by boating over or cutting through trees for a trickle of gold.

Continue to fend off attacks and build myth units until Arkantos arrives.

Build a town center where Arkantos arrives to harvest the rich gold mine.

Create siege towers and catapults and slowly advance to the pyramid.

As you progress, build additional temples and Migdol Strongholds to secure your foothold.

Once a path to the pyramid is broken, deal with myth units emerging from the underworld passage until all Osiris Pieces are brought to the location.

Kill the villager who comes to kill the pig.

Bring yourself and Ajax forward and free all the pigs.

Attack any villagers you see; they will retreat to a sentry tower.

Continue to advance and save all the pigs. Attack fences to open them.

Bring all pigs and yourself past the castles to the temple of Zeus.

Build a town center on the nearby settlement and harvest resources, focusing gold mining and woodcutting to the north due to attacks from the south.

Advance to the Heroic Age and create myth units to deal with the enemy.

Create two pegasi and scout the rest of the island using waypoints (right-click each point).

Advance to the Mythic Age.

Build powerful units and either stockpile myth units or take a more offensive approach to destroy Circe's Fortress.
