The main problem you will encounter here is the
lack of farmland. So, make sure that you use every inch available. Don't bother with
Vegetables, as they take longer to grow than wheat. Build 2 olive farms and 4 oil
workshops and start trading oil and weapons from an early stage.
All the trade here is seaborne, and you therefore
need to build 2 docks, with the warehouses behind them, to ensure maximum trading
efficiency. This, of course, goes for all scenarios where you are trading by sea.
The attacks are easy to deal with and you don't
need to bother getting a full army going - 1 cohort each of legionaries, javelins and
cavalry should be more than enough.
Well, that just about concludes Syracusae. If you
