How foolish to pretend they are safe, to think that closing some gates would be the end of this... to forget that I�m still here Kronos: Well, It�s their nature to be forgetful... Even the gods are absentminded � Zeus has forgotten about everyone he has locked away in Tartarus. It is time for all of us to remind him... Kronos: Go... Do as i have told you... Make way for the Titans! Krios: Wha... ------------------- 2.1 A Lost people ------------------- Dialogue: --------- Atlantean Soldier: We cannot stay here. There are not enough trees to build Shelters or light fires against the cold. Crops will not grow here. And the Savages are getting bolder. Zeno: The gods have abandoned us! We�d be better off sinking with Atlantis than coming here. We must move. Sergeant: What�s going on here? Zeno, what have I told you about getting everyone worked up? Krios: Its all right, Sergeant. He�s right, we most move. Zeno: How Krios? We have no ships and no one has seen a better place nearby. Krios: The gods showed me an abandoned Temple in my dream last night. I was told, it was the key to our leaving this place. We must find it. In game Dialogue: ----------------- Soldier: Krios has supplied us with a fire siphon Krios: Savages, stop them! Krios: We will need to hunt for our food. Our farms will not take to the frozen Soil. Krios: We must find the temple from my dream, I know it can help us. Soldier: Wolves! Watch out! Krios: That is the temple from my vision... we can use it to escape this place. Start with: ----------- Resources: 725 Food 400 Wood 325 Gold 0 Favor Buildings: 1 Town Centre 1 Military Barracks 2 Manors 2 Watch Towers Units: 9 Destroyers 1 Arcus 1 Fanatic 3 Citizens 1 Kastor (Hero) Mission 1 --------- Build an army of at least 5 Murmillo. Go to the barracks and train 5 Murmillo. Hint: The Murmillo is the mainline swordsmen from the barracks. Murmillo are good multipurpose fighters with a slight advantage against cavalry. Mission 2 --------- Find the sky passage. The sky passage is located to the far east of your Town centre, however, it is not wise to approach the sky passage straight away, as it is guarded by a small army of enemies. Hint: Krios has had a vision of the sky passage, a special temple that will transport the Atlantean people to a much better land. Mission 3 --------- Defeat the barbarians that guard the sky passage There are three allied enemies on the map; yellow, red and purple. Purple is the only enemy you need to attack, as his units are guarding the sky passage to the east, with yellow and red situated in the centre and North of the map respectively. Purple�s base of which consists 2 longhouses and a Hill fort, is surrounded by a wall. Before attacking purples base, it would be best to train additional Arcus� and Murmillo. After 5:10, krios will supply you with a free fire siphon. To complete this mission, it is only necessary to destroy the 2 Longhouses and Hill Fort around the sky passage, but it is recommended you kill purples units first. Hint: The barbarians have several hill forts guarding the sky passage. Use Krios� fire siphons to destroy them. Mission 4 --------- Garrison 5 citizens into the sky passage Garrison 5 of any units into the sky passage. Despite the name of the mission, it is not necessary to garrison 5 citizens into the sky passage, though at least 1 citizen is needed for the next mission. Hint: The sky passage is a special building of the gitan gods into which units can be garrisoned. The units can be ungarrisoned from any other sky passage owned by the same player, nomatter how far the distance between them. Mission 5 --------- Ungarrison from the second sky passage and build a Town Centre. Pretty straight forward. Ungarrison from the sky passage and use a citizen to build a Town Centre on the settlement. Once the Town Centre is 270/2100 built, the mission and level is complete. Hint: Krios� vision has been realized... Claim a settlement to establish a new home for atlantis. Additional ---------- Spotlight: Citizen The independent and self-sufficient citizens are the resource gatherers and builders for the Atlantean culture. They are significantly tougher and more efficient than other resource gatherers, but more expensive in population and training cost Relic locations: N/A ------------------- 2.2 Atlantis Reborn ------------------- Dialogue: --------- Greek Scout: Those look like...Atlanteans? Atlantean Soldier: Look at this! You are truly favored, Krios, to have been shown the way to such a place. Theocrat Krios: The gods have favored Atlantis. But not the Olympian gods. Atlantean Soldier: What? Theocrat Krios: Look � the symbol on the passage that brought us here. That�s the mark of the Titan Oranos. Theocrat Krios: Next to our settlement is a temple of his. Theocrat Krios: Beside it is one to Kronos. Theocrat Krios: Their temples are overgrown. We should restore them as a sign of our gratitude. Atlantean Soldier: It is forbidden! Kastor: Krios is right! Atlantean: It�s Kastor, son of Arkantos! Kastor: What was Zeus doing for us back there? At least Oranos has led us here. If he favors us, we�re better off offering prayers to him than having none look after us. Greek scout: They are going into the temple of Oranos! We must have an end to this at once! Kastor: Let�s reclaim these temples and rebuild Atlantis! In game Dialogue: ----------------- Citizen: Kastor, we have just enough resources to restore the temples, after that we�ll need to gather more. Citizen: The temples are repaired, Krios. Krios: Good work! Atlantean soldier: Attackers Atlantean citizen: A Greek attack! Citizen: Those were Greeks Krios, why did they attack us? Atlantean soldier: Another Greek attack! Greek villager: Atlanteans! Atlantean soldier: It sure would be easier to get around if we built some sky passages. Atlantean soldier: Kastor, sir, the attacks are coming from a pass that leads to the other side of the island. The Greeks have a base there, we should destroy it! Atlantean scout: Look, a Relic! Greek villager: The mad Atlanteans! Run to the tower! Greek soldier: The Atlanteans are breaking through the pass! We have to stop them! Atlantean soldier: We�ve destroyed the base, and we�re moving on to the city!! Krios: Excellent! Greek villager: Ahh! The Titan worshippers! Run! Atlantean scout: A Relic! Greek villager: Atlanteans! It�s true! Greek Captain: Go! Tell Melagius everything! Atlantean scout: Look, Relics! Greek Captain: Quick, shove off, the Atlanteans are coming! Greek Captain: The ships are loaded! Go! Atlantean soldier: The town centre is destroyed, the Greeks are retreating! End of level Dialogue: ---------------------- Atlantean soldier: The last of them are retreating. Kastor: Krios, they were Greek, why would they attack us? Theocrat Krios: Whatever the reason, it is an outrage. Get your troops together, Kastor. Kastor: We�re in no shape to start a war now... I will get some men and go after the Greeks, but I want to find out why an old ally would suddenly attack us before we start any fighting. Start with: ----------- Resources: 350 Food 150 Wood 100 Gold 16 Favor Buildings: 1 Town Center 2 Overgrown Temple 2 Manor 1 Sky Passage Units: 5 Fanatics 3 Arcus� 1 Kastor (Hero) 5 Citizens Mission 1 --------- Repair the ancient temples to Oranos and Kronos Repair both of the buildings by tasking 1 or more citizens both of the overgrown temples. With the remaining citizens, gather wood, and hunt the deer to the south west, and train a couple citizens from the town center. Two small armies will approach and attack from the south and the south west, so be prepared. Hint: The temples are overgrown. To repair them, select a citizen(or more than one if you like) and right click on a temple. They will go to work repairing the temple. Buildings damaged by attacks may be repaired in the same way. When the temples are repaired, remember to put your citizens to work gathering resources. You will need to go build buildings and train units. Mission 2 --------- Build up your town and advance to the classical age Gather food until you have enough to advance (400). When advancing, you may choose either deity, but its best if you choose Oceanus over Prometheus, as his Carnivora god power is useful later on when fighting the enemy. While advancing, make sure that all of your citizens are tasked on either gold, food or wood or building buildings. Idle units only take up space. Hint: There are a few things to keep in mind while expanding your town and advancing to the classical age. First, the Greeks will keep sending attacks- you will need to train an army to fight them. Second, there is an unclaimed settlement nearby which Oranos reveals to you on the minimap, claiming it will give you a strong foothold on the island and more population slots. Also, there are overgrown temples like the ones in the starting town scattered all over the island. When you find these temples and restore them you will receive free myth units! Mission 3 --------- Destroy the 3 military academies beyond the pass. It is possible to destroy the 3 military bases straight away with the army you have if you are on easy difficulty. However, if you are not on easy difficulty, it is more than wise to prepare an army and make an economy before attacking. On titan difficulty, enemies will attack your main base regularly, so make sure to use walls if possible. To the west and east are fish, a good supply of food, so be sure to make a dock and fishing ships for them. Beside the fish to the west is a overgrown temple, and another can be found to the south of your main base. Restoring these temples will provide you with 1 behemoth each. At this point, you can choose whether or not to advance to the heroic age- the benefits being that you will be allowed to build a palace, and then destroyers, and also Arcus�. Since the bulk of the Greek army is infantry, it is good to make an army of counter-infantry units such as Cheiroballista and Arcus for defending your base, and for when you eventually attack. Hint: Greeks will be defending the pass fiercely. Destroyers are the best chance for demolishing the buildings in the pass. Destroyers may be trained in the heroic age from the palace. Be sure to look at the pass from time to time; you have line of sight to it and can see what the Greeks are training. This will allow you to better your defenses and select which units to train for battle. Mission 4 --------- Destroy the Greek Town Center Sounds simple enough- you just destroyed their military base, so surely they can�t have too much defending their town center right? Actually, the harder the difficulty, the more enemy units will be guarding their base. On Titan and hard difficulties, the enemy has a huge economy, and therefore can train military to no end. There are 3 stables, archery ranges and military academies situated in the enemies base, so will need to out-train the enemy. If you haven�t already, build a town center on the unclaimed settlement in the middle of the map- this will provide you will extra population. Building 5 manors and researching the upgrade �fortified town center� from your town center will maximize your population to a full 160. If you choose to go Heroic, choose the deity Theia. Her Hesperides god power provides you with a tree which can train dryads, a myth unit that is expensive, but costs 0 population. As the game emphasizes, using sky passages is important. Building a sky passage in your military base and 1 near the enemies base will ensure that military units will be able to get to battle quicker. If even more help is needed in battle, build palaces, walls and sky passages with the upgrade �Safe passage�, near the battle. Greek villagers will not repair town center, so simply raiding the town center over and over again will succeed. The level is complete once the Greek town center is destroyed. Hint: The Greek town center is not easy to reach. Towers and fortresses protect the city, so be ready for a fight. You may want to build a sky passage near the Greek city so that you can get your armies into battle quickly. To use a sky passage, garrison your units in a nearby sky passage and un garrison them from one closer to where you are fighting. Only an Oranos player can build sky passages. Additional ---------- Spotlight: Sky passages Sky passages allow instantaneous travel across great distances nd may only be built by the followers of Oranos. Units garrisoned in one sky passage may step out of any other sky passage. This can be very powerful. If you find enemy sky passages � destroy them! If you have sky passages- defend them! Relic locations: -Southwest of the starting town center and north of the unclaimed settlement -South west of the unclaimed settlement x3 -West of the unclaimed settlement- only reachable through sky passage, which can be activated by getting line of sight on the southwest shore by fishing ship, or transport ship. -South of the starting town center in an enemy tent -South of the unclaimed settlement can only be obtained by transport ship. ------------------------- 2.3 Greetings from Greece ------------------------- Dialogue: --------- Myrmidon: Move, let the general through. Myrmidon: You- tell the general what you told me. Hoplite: The Atlanteans, sir. They invaded the island. General Melagius: What. Hoplite: They were building a temple to Oranos. They attacked the colony. General Melagius: I don�t believe it. Hoplite: Believe it or not, they set sail right after us. They will be here soon. General Melagius: The Atlanteans have gone mad... send world of this to our allies, ask them to send help. Scout: Yes sir. General Melagius: Muster our men and have them prepare a defense. If Atlantis comes to us looking for a fight, she�ll get it. In game Dialogue: ----------------- Soldier: The resources in this area are thin, but there are several plenty vaults in these Greek lands. We should capture all of them. Soldier: We�ve got to capture and try to hold as many Plenty Vaults as possible- they are the primary means of collecting resources around here. Soldier: We�ve been granted visibility to all the plenty vaults in these lands. Soldier: We have no town center and no way to get one. Soldier: More reinforcements have arrived! Soldier: Look. A statue to General Melagius. Lord Oranos is bound to reward us for destroying these, wherever we find them. Soldier: An army approaches! Kastor: It may be wise to transform out citizens into heroes so they can build more quickly. Kastor: To maintain control over the plenty vault, we need to have a larger force near it than our enemy. Soldier: We�ve found the caves of Polyphemus. Soldier: Reinforcements! Soldier: We�ve discovered an underworld passage. Soldier: More reinforcements are here! General Melagius: I am General Melagius- lord and master here. Soldier: A fishing village. Destroy Melagius� statue to take over their fishing Operation. Soldier: The docks and market in this village belong to us now. Soldier: Favor from the gods! Kastor: When our army is strong enough, it�ll be time to call on the good General himself. Soldier: Our resources are low- we should fight to claim more Plenty Vaults! General Melagius: It appears the Atlanteans have brought the fight to us. General Melagius: Call for my royal guard. General Melagius: General Melagius shall never fall to the likes of you. General Melagius: Reinforcements attack! General Melagius: I have been injured! Soldiers, to me! End of level Dialogue: ---------------------- Krios: More treachery! The Norse and Egyptians rise up against us with these Greeks! Do they forget who we are? Kastor: There are too many. We cannot fight against them here. Krios: You are going to let them get away with this? Kastor: I did not say that. I said there are too many to fight here. Start with: ----------- Resources: 1728 Food 1703 Wood Easy 1628 Gold 628 Food 603 Wood Moderate 528 Gold 828 Food 503 Wood Hard 628 Gold 428 Food 303 Wood Titan 328 Gold Buildings: 1 Sky Passage 1 Plenty Vault Units: 1 Citizen 4 Murmillo 1 Kastor (Hero) 1 Transport ship Mission 1 --------- Claim Plenty vaults to gain resources Only one plenty vault is needed to complete this mission. Capture the vault to the south east with one of your units. Hint: There are a few natural resources in this area, so your best strategy is to control as many plenty vaults as possible. Capture and control as many plenty vaults as possible. Capture and control plenty vaults by having more units around them than any enemy does. After a plenty vault converts to your color it will remain yours until re- captured by an enemy. Destroy any statues of Melagius you find to gain additional advantages. Mission 2 --------- Continue to fight for additional plenty vaults, build an army, and kill general Melagius. On easy difficulty, this mission is simple enough, due to the huge amount of resources you get given, and the general lack of enemy units. Build an army consisting of Arcus�, Murmillo, Katapeltes and Destroyers, and capture all plenty vaults, before attacking and outnumbering General Melagius at his base. However, on all other difficulties, the resources are significantly less, and will require more skill to defeat Melagius. Firstly It is wise to obtain the fishing operation to the east of your initial sky passage. It is unguarded, and to take control of the docks, you need to destroy Melagius� statue. Task the two fishing ships on the two salmon fish points. Once reinforcements arrive, you should have 3 citizens. Have two of them collecting wood, and one collecting gold, and alternate if you need more of one resource. If you need additional food, you can hunt the deer. Trees are scarce in the area, but more can be located in the swamp lands in the north. There are only two small gold mines near your sky passage, so make sure not to waste gold. The best way to get resources though is by capturing additional plenty vaults. The plenty vault in Polyphemus� cave is easily enough defended if you wall around it. The plenty vault to the north, though, will be under constant attack from the enemy if you capture it, so perhaps think twice about doing so. To defend from the north east, destroying Melagius� statue in that pass will summon five sentinels, which are more than useful at defending. Make sure to wall off the pass once they have been summoned. There are two underworld passages on the map. One in Polyphemus� cave going to the north west, and another going from the swamp lands up north to far north east- just outside of General Melagius� base. This will be your best chance of killing him. Compose a mixed army of archers and infantry, and attack. Use all 3 of your godpowers: chaos, shockwave and valor, when fighting against the forces in his base. You will be able to tell who General Melagius, because when you click on him, he says �I am General Melagius, lord and master here�. Once you have killed his army, task all your units to attack Melagius � don�t bother wasting time destroying his buildings. Once he gets down to 175 hp, it will cut scene, and he will be defeated. Hint: General Melagius is the Greek enemy unit commanding his forces in the flagged area near the Greek city. Do not attempt to engage General Melagius and his guards until you have a superior force. Additional ---------- Spotlight on: Oracles Oracles scout for the Atlanteans. They cannot see very far when they are on the move, but when they are still, their vision reaches out further and further until they see as far as a tower, But towers cannot walk, and the oracle, when his scouting is done, can move to another unknown area of the map. Relic locations: - The north west cave in which the underworld passage in Polyphemus� cave goes to x5 - North west, in the swamp lands - Beside reds north east plenty vault General Melagius� statue locations: - East of the initial sky passage- gives you 2 docks, 2 fishing ships and a market. - North east of the initial sky passage- summons 5 sentinels to fight for you. - East of yellows hilled Plenty Vault, and north east of the initial sky passage- gives you 75 favor - Far north east of the initial sky passage, and in the middle of the map � gives you 35 favor. - Far north east of the initial sky passage, and beside the underworld passage from the swamp � summons 5 sentinels to fight for you. ---------------- 2.4 Odin�s Tower ---------------- Dialogue: --------- Fanatic: Sailing here was an excellent idea, sir. The Norse will not be expecting an attack in their homeland now. Kastor: That�s the idea. Sergeant: Our scouts have seen only a few Norse troops around but the terrain is rough, many cliffs. They could be hiding. Kastor: This is where they have built their Temples, so there will be some soldiers here. Odin�s temple is our target � we�re going to send a message to the Norse. In game Dialogue: ----------------- Oracle: There seems to be no way off this plateau, but Kronos has give us the ability to shift our buildings over such petty obstacles. Oracle: We can construct out buildings here, then use my line of sight to shift them past the cliffs. Soldier: We�ve destroyed one of Odin�s temples. Time shift one of our temples in its place. Norseman: Kill them all! Soldier: Another temple has been destroyed. Kastor: A forest fire? Look out! The Norse are attacking! Norseman: Invaders! Kastor: It seems as if the temple was being protected by that storm. Oracle: It is. It is made by the temples of Odin that surround it. If we replace those temples with temples of our own, the storm should fade. Norseman: Protect the tower at all costs! Soldier: The last temple is down! Atlantean soldier: The storm as stopped! We can get close to the tower! Kastor: We can�t seem to damage the tower with our weapons! Oracle: Only the power of Kronos can damage it. He has given us a deconstruction power strong enough even for Odin�s tower. Start with: ---------- Resources: 1075 Food 1000 Wood Easy 1025 Gold Moderate 675 Food Hard 600 Wood Titan 425 Gold Buildings: 1 Town Center Units: 4 Citizens 1 Kastor (Hero) 1 Oracle (Hero) 2 Destroyers 2 Fanatics Mission 1 --------- Replace all three Norse temples with Atlantean temples Hint: You cannot get off the plateau without using Kronos� time shift ability. You also have vortex god powers available to move your armies around the valleys. Mission 2 --------- Move Kastor close to Odin�s tower Hint: Odin�s tower will be very difficult to destroy with mortal weapons. Perhaps Kronos will provide a way if Kastor is brought near the tower. Mission 3 --------- Deconstruct Odin�s tower by using the deconstruct wonder godpower. Hint: Odin�s tower cannot be easily destroyed by normal means, you must deconstruct it with the god power that Odin has given you. =========================== =========Credits=========== =========================== If you have any questions, you can contact me on [email protected] Thanks for reading my in-depth Age of Mythology: The Titans Campaign walkthrough James �TwIsTeD_EnEmY� Bouchier
