Glory of Greece Campaign #3: Ionian Expansion

Screenshot
Destroy these towers from the sea to pave the way to victory

Goal: Find the three ruins or build a government center inside the area marked by the red Ionian flags.

The Skinny: Building the government center is probably the easiest way to win this one. This is a scenario where you must control the seas.

Put all of your initial villagers on berry collection and build two fishing boats immediately to fish. Start building new villagers right away and set them to collect wood right away; you want a lot of villagers gathering wood. Start building scout ships, at least six. Build a few more fishing boats. Have four or five fishing boats in operation, guarded by at least six scout ships.

You'll want at least ten villagers chopping wood. Upgrade to the Bronze Age and upgrade your ships. Take a fleet of ships north and engage the enemy. Destroy their dock.

Keep building triremes. There's a chain of small islands just to the north of a large island right in front of you. You can mine gold there and collect enough to advance to the Iron Age.

Once in the Iron Age, research catapult triremes, then build several. Use these to destroy the coastline guard towers around the flagged area. When they're destroyed, land a small invasion force and quickly build a government center inside the flagged area.

Use your navy to give your force cover as it builds. When the center is finished, you win.

Dangers: You will be attacked constantly on the sea. If you lose control of the seas, you might be invaded.
