Goal: Destroy all your enemies or their Wonders. The Skinny: Your challenge is threefold in this tough scenario, and you have to act fast. As the scenario opens, the Cambyses have completed a Wonder and the 2000-year clock starts ticking down. The Cambyses are located in the eastern corner and are completely walled in. To the north are the Persians. They will steadily attack after a few minutes. The first two offensives will have catapults, so you need to have your cavalry ready to ride out and destroy them. To the west is Darius, and he will start building a Wonder a few minutes into the game. When the scenario starts, put most of your villagers on wood collection. Take one and build three towers near your north entrance to stave off the Persians. Take another villager and start mining the stone in your village. Take another villager and build a siege workshop right away. Keep building villagers and gather wood and berries. Build a temple and produce a priest to heal your troops. Build a ballista and catapult as soon as your siege workshop is finished. While all this is going on, send a villager south to the river and build a dock to produce four or five warships. Sail them west on the river to start destroying Darius' city. Although you cannot reach his Wonder using them, you can slow him down. Take the siege weapons and head east to destroy the Cambyses' Wonder. Have some troops escort them. Use the siege weapons to destroy the towers along the western wall. Be wary of breaches in the wall that allow the enemy's archers to pour out. If this happens, make sure your siege weapons survive. Also be wary of a Persian attack from the north. You will have to breach the wall to get close enough to hit the Wonder. Go in through the northwestern corner to get to it. Once the Wonder is destroyed head towards Darius. Use your siege weapons to destroy his northernmost towers and wall, then move close enough to destroy his Wonder. Be wary of his priests. To the south you'll also find some more stone should you need it. Dangers: The Persians will make your life miserable as they attack from the North. The Cambyses have their Wonder already complete, so the clock is ticking as soon as the scenario starts. Darius will have his Wonder complete just a little before the Cambyses' Wonder counts down its final years. You have to move quickly in this one and not slip up.
