Voices of Babylon Campaign #4: I Shall Return

Screenshot
Here's a nice place to build a city

Goal: Destroy the Elamites.

The Skinny: Here's another one where you start out in the frying pan. You are under attack and you must flee. Lasso all your units then right-click on the transport ship and hope that at least one villager makes it.

Set sail for the eastern corner of the map. There you'll find a nice island prime for settlers. Build a town center and start producing villagers. You have to work fast, as you will be invaded in ten minutes or so.

You are already in the Tool Age, so build an archery range and a stable to create some military units. The invasion will consist of a catapult, a ballista, and several troops. You must repulse them.

If you are successful, keep building quickly. They will try again. Build some towers.

Keep building and repulse the enemy again, then take the offensive. Build a navy and start pounding the enemy's coastline. You can severely damage him in this fashion.

Weaken the enemy, then invade to administer the coup de grace.

Dangers: You have to get that villager out alive, then you have to build like a madman to stave off the invasion.
