Egypt Campaign #4: Dawn of a new age

Screenshot
Fishing is a quick way to gather meat

Goal: Make it to the Tool Age

The Skinny: Going from the Stone Age to the Tool Age will soon become a familiar process to you. You'll need to build two Stone Age technologies and amass 500 meat. Once you've done so, click on the town center, where you're presented with an option to upgrade. Select it, the meat is "spent," and the upgrade starts. When it is finished, you win the scenario.

The Stone Age technologies you can build are: granary, storage pit, dock, barracks (any two of these will work).

This scenario requires you to fish. Take a villager and left-click on an area of the water where the fish are hopping - literally. A red square indicates that an area is "fishable." If you don't get the red square, try again in a slightly different location.

Dangers: There are none.

Egypt Campaign #5: Skirmish

Just keep your troops together at this point, and the enemy comes to you

Goal: Defeat the enemy

The Skinny: This is a very simple scenario. You start with a small party of warriors and archers. There is no building in this mission; you simply move across the map and exterminate the enemy. The only trick you need to follow is to keep your men together so they can mass their attack and quickly take out the enemy. The enemy is located in the eastern corner of the map and is spread apart enough so that they will come at you one at a time. You can win this scenario in less than two minutes.

Dangers: United you stand, divided you may fall.
