Glory of Greece Campaign #1: Land Grab

Screenshot
This scenario lets you use natural barriers to your advantage

Goal: Destroy all the Dorian farms and build five farms.

The Skinny: This one is tricky. At the start take one of your villagers to the lake at the very southern part of the map and build a dock. Take the rest of your starting forces and head west, hugging the edge of the map. You will come to a forest with a natural clearing in the middle. Establish your town center there.

Back at the lake, build fishing boats to fish the lake for meat, and start your villagers chopping wood to enlarge the open area in the forest.

Build a barracks and upgrade to the Tool Age. Build a granary and marketplace, then build a farm. Be careful not to overcrowd, though. Use several villagers on the same farm to speed up meat collection.

You may have to build a scout ship on the lake to protect your fishing boats. You can use a house as a natural barrier in the narrow opening in the forest that leads to your village

When you are strong enough, destroy the house and venture out to attack the Dorians.

Dangers: You will be attacked repeatedly. Use archers to guard the entrance and a villager to repair the house. You can also research and build a wall if you prefer that to a house as a barrier.
