Empire Earth is a game that covers time periods from 500,000BC
to times past the present. Each time period, or epoch, has been
designed for historical accuracy (except the last one, Nano). The
campaign covers all epochs (including the made up age). This is a
detailed HAND-HELD walkthrough for each campaign, and does not provide
general strategies for skirmishes, multiplayer, ect. I will provide
strategies usable against the computer AI, but these will not work
against human players (well human players with any sense).
This game needs a very good computer to play it and still have
fun. I have a 700MHz Celeron, 768MB RAM (256MB+512MB), and a VooDoo 3
3000. I would say this is a pretty good system but the game still runs
very laggy (about 10-15fps), even when only a few units are on screen.
I recommend you turn the game settings to best performance if you are
having problems (I did).
The in game graphics are OK; they aren't the best I've seen.
Each unit is a low-poly model and this can be seen when the game zooms
in for cinematic sequences. The faces of the models are just two quads,
with a face texture on them. The terrain is also decent. Even with all
these low quality models and textures the game still won't run fast on
my system. But set everything else aside the game is fun, and that’s
all that matters.

5.1)-----------The Early Helladic Peoples: 10,000-2,000BC--------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 1
Fun        (1-5): 2
Overview:         Steal a dock, sail across a river, and make a few
buildings.
You start off with an easy mission, invade a city with more
people and better technology, and take over their ships and sail to a
new land... OK maybe it's not so simple. When you start off get your
some of your citizens and start chopping the down the forest closest to
your town center. Take the others and kill a goat and take its food.
Now take 1 citizen and make a barracks then put the citizen back to
work. Start making rock throwers and clubmen. Upgrade them if you want.
Train guys until you’re out of both iron and gold if you want there is
some gold southwest of your town center but you don't need it. Now
start heading west, leave your citizens for now.
When you reach the hostile city follow the coast and look for
the dock. Kill anybody who attacks you and one of those heroes can heal
so you shouldn't be hurting too bad. Start making transports, and when
you're ready to leave gather your citizens and shove off. Oh before you
leave make sure you have at least 500 wood.
Sail west and if you get attacked at sea just ignore them
until you get to the coast. Land on the coast and continue west until
you come to a big plateau. Get your citizens to make a settlement,
barracks and a temple there. Wasn't that an easy game?
***********************************************************************
5.2)--------------Warriors From the Sea: 2,000-1,500BC-----------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 4
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         Escape from an island, make an army and kill 2 town
centers.
You start off on an island with a few citizens and some sword
guys. Your objective here is to get off the island as fast as possible.
First build a capitol and start chopping some wood. Then build a dock
and make 3 or 4 war rafts, and a few transports. There’s gold to the
east if you need it, it's guarded by a few guys who are easy to kill. I
wouldn't recommend getting this gold, all it will do is lengthen your
stay on the island. If you stay on the island too long (way too long)
the Minoans will slaughter you with a huge army, you don't stand a
chance, don't think you do.
When you set sail head north. There will probably be a whole
lot of offensive BATTLESHIP'S!!! What you do is when you run into a
battleship just attack it with one of your ships, and leave that ship
behind. Don't let any of your transports die. You don't stand a chance
against the battleships, don't try to win (you don't stand a chance
against much do you?) Anyway get to the island; it's not a very far
sail, BTW its north incase you didn't know.
Once on the island you can get to the Argos plateau on your
map without running into any enemies. You'll be left alone here pretty
much except for a few stone throwers but those are easy. Your first
goal is to get the copper age. Get a bunch of food, and iron and get
into the copper age! Once you upgraded epochs you have unlimited food
(granaries) and good long range troops (simple bowmen). Build a lot of
macemen, and bowmen, and upgrade them too. If you want stone for some
reason it southwest of your plateau but you may have to fight off some
cavalry to get to it.
Your mission is to destroy 2 town centers. 1 city is still in
stone age, while the other 2 have lots of horses. First you need to
kill the one to the west of where you are. For this you'll need simple
bowmen, macemen, and sampsons. Right now sampsons are your closest
thing to a siege weapon you're gonna get. Go in first with your bowmen
and macemen and kill all the horsies. Then just head in with sampsons
and destroy the town center and other buildings. Feel free to take the
stone that they were using. When you take the stone you can build
hospitals to heal your wounded. You can also build a few towers to
guard what’s yours (or attack what’s not yours*grin*).
Now that the first town is out of the way you can
go onto to the Messenians. They are southwest of the last town you
leveled, be careful there are still Achaian horsemen around, because
the have another village in the northwest corner. When you attack the
Messenians you'll notice they have towers, destroy these fast with your
sampsons, and guard your sampsons with your bowmen. After the first
tower is dead head in and kill another. After that it should be really
easy, all your bowmen can kill any of their troops with 2 or 3 hits.
Just use the sampsons on the town center and you won.
***********************************************************************
5.3)------------------The Trojan War: 1,300-1,100BC--------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun        (1-5): 5
Overview:         Get army from some people, kill some guys, and get a
Trojan horse!
First thing you do here is build a granary for food, then
take some citizens and go southeast to get some wood and stone. You
need lots of wood in this one so don't hold back, but don't neglect
stone. After you get your citizens situated put Agamemnon on a
transport and head to each of the 3 islands, don't worry nothing will
attack you, you only need Agamemnon. With each island you visit you'll
get more units, and more ships. By the time you're done you'll have 10
battleships, and 5 Odyssean transports.
Now the game tells you to invade Troy, but that's not what
you’re gonna do, since you don't have a big enough army yet. What you
are gonna do is invade the city north of your city. There aren't many
towers so it'll be easy, I managed to do it without losing a single
guy. First send a citizen scout to find the passage to their city and
then unload your army out at the beginning of that passage. Kill
anything on your path. Once you get to the towers; kill them one at a
time with some sampsons. Once you get to the gate use your sampsons to
tear it down. Inside the city, destroy any troops there, and also
destroy the barracks, ect so they'll leave you alone. After blowing
everything up you'll have unguarded iron and gold at your disposal.
Also you'll get some civilization points. Just send over some citizens,
make 2 settlements, 1 next to gold, and 1 next to iron. Then select 5
citizens and populate one into a town center. Then just build a bunch
more citizens for your use.
Now that you have practically unlimited resources of every
type start making an army like no other. If you haven’t gotten the
population cap + 15% bonus yet I suggest you use the points from
destroying the city to get this. With your resources you can also
upgrade everything you have to its fullest. Build up lots and lots of
units, max out your population. I recommend a few prophets, a bunch of
bowmen and macemen, and about 5 or 6 sampsons. Don't forget you need
enough transports. And don't worry nothing will attack you so take your
time, even go AFK while you get money if you want, you’re totally safe.
While you are getting resources and building an army send those
battleships of yours and destroy the Trojan fleet, all over the east
sea.
Think you're ready? Well, let’s see. If your whole army can
fit on the Odyssean transports supplied to you, your army isn't big
enough. Also cram on board some citizens, get the ones who aren't
mining stone. Give them their own transport (put 10 citizens in it),
also keep this transport separate from the rest so you don't unload all
your citizens and then die. When you’re navigating the sea with your
battleships you'll come across a fleet of 5 battleships, kill them and
then stop here. This is where you will unload your troops. You must
have all the kings meet here first, so make sure their on the
transports too.
When you land Agamemnon will spot the towers north of you,
and says the camp must be far from them, well you heard him... make
camp. Unload your citizens and make a wall to enclose your troops, make
a gate so you can get in and out, but the Trojans can't, and then line
then wall with towers. You should have upwards of 6000 stone, so don't
skimp on the towers! Also inside your camp you should build a few
barracks, archery ranges, stables, a hospital, and a temple. Now just
use hit and run tactics. Hit them a couple of times with an archer or
better yet, cast malaria with a prophet the run back to camp, let the
archers and towers kill them. After you get rid of the standing army,
send in your sampsons along with Agamemnon to heal. Use them to kill
the 2 towers then attack the gate. When you attack the gate you'll get
a message saying it's hopeless. Gather your kings back at the beach and
you'll be instructed to build a temple up north. Clear a path for your
citizens, and build a temple. Or even easier just put them on a
transport and sail them up there!
After you build the temple watch the Trojan Horse pop up out
of nowhere with no cool special effects at all. Anyway load it up with
troops, and be sure to set their unit behavior to stand ground or else
they'll attack the temples and you were told not to do that. Be sure to
put the elite troops you got from the kings in there, a few archers,
and some sampsons. Don't bring a prophet thinking you can just use
malaria, because it's disabled once you get in. Just kill the king afar
with your archers, he won't do anything. Use your elite troops to kill
anything that goes after the archers. And use the sampsons to kill the
archery range, stable, and barracks. Once the king is dead kill his
guards, then move in with your sampsons. After the palace falls you
win!
***********************************************************************
5.4)-----------------The Rise of Athens: 1,000-500BC-------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun        (1-5): 4
Overview:         Defeat 3 villages, ally with them, and destroy an
invasion.
In this one you have to destroy 3 villages to secure your
safety on the island. The first one you will attack is Aphidna (in the
middle). After you kill them you will have stone, gold, and iron and a
base right between the other 2 cities. First thing you do is make a
granary for food, and make as many citizens as you can. Take about 5
citizens and make them get food then make the rest get wood. Now use
all your resources to make an army, make it good, this army will need
to kill an entire city. Make a few bowmen, macemen, horsemen. Don't
worry about sampsons, you won't be destroying any buildings. When you
used all your resources get your army and the 5 noblemen and Theseus.
Take them to the middle village and destroy the army. Use the priest
supplied to convert some guys. Bring Theseus and 2 noblemen to the town
center (be sure not to blow it up). Now they ally with you. Now take
some of your citizens and bring them up to the stone, iron, and gold.
Build a settlement right in the middle. Once you get a settlement make
all your citizens get stone. Mine until you have 500 stone, then make a
Temple of Zeus. Now cut your citizens in half and make half mine gold
and half get iron.
Now build up a bigger army and attack Pallene, their even
smaller than Aphidna so it will be easy. After the army is dead bring
Theseus and 2 noblemen to the town center to get them to ally with you.
Now go to the last city, Eleusis, and tear down their gate with your
sampsons. Just run inside and kill the army, if you don't think you can
do it on your own use a flare; your 2 allies will come running in.
After you defeat them you get some money. Start making some bowmen back
in your city, and gather up your citizens to the left gate. Take your
army and put it up at Pallene. Now you can bring Theseus to the temple
and the gods take him up. After that Sparta and Thebes attack you. Just
lock all of your gates, kill them from the inside with your bowmen, and
repair with citizens. Also kill the army that comes from Pallene with
the army you sent up there, because all 3 of your allies abandon their
cities to help yours. Just keep your gates locked and repaired and you
got it.
***********************************************************************
5.5)---------------The Peloponnesian Wars: 427-404BC-------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun        (1-5): 2
Overview:         Get trapped in a city. Sail around on the sea in slow
boats back and forth a lot. Die of plague. Make an
army and kill a small, spread out army.
When this scenario starts gather up all your units that are
outside the city walls, and bring them in. And make your citizens start
chopping wood. Sparta will attack you and you don't stand a chance,
yet. Pericles has an idea, so bring him up the Parthenon, and he will
tell the city they need to stockpile 10,000 food. You can't do it alone
(well you probably could it would just take way too long). The lack of
food will cause a plague that will hurt your citizens and military
units. When it says "WERE UNDER ATTACK" go and find the sick unit and
bring him to the hospital to be healed; careful... he can spread it to
others. Anyway go to your capital and get 3 diplomats, then go to your
docks and build a whole bunch of battleships and frigates, don't worry
about transports, they will be provided. Once you have a good fleet go
and clear the way to the 2 spots on your map, and bring your diplomats
to the docks, and they will turn into a diplomatic transport. Now bring
the ships to the docks. Somewhere along the way a new spot on your map
will come up, send a diplomat there too. After you sent your diplomats
out you'll have 6 grain shipments, gold, and iron mine. Clear the way
for your shipments to come back (Sparta put more ships out so you need
to kill those too). Once you get the shipments you'll have over 15,000
food.
Start making citizens at your base that you got southeast,
also build a barracks and a stable and make a small army (20-30 units),
Sparta will attack this town, and you must defend. After you have a
good bit of gold start making an army over at Athens. Make a good
variety of troops, I made some elephant archers, phalanxes, long bows,
and war elephants. But, after seeing my phalanxes and long bows totally
annihilated and seeing my 10 elephants take on the whole army I
recommend building a balanced number of war elephants, and elephant
archers. Be sure to go all out on upgrades too, you have the resources.
And build a Temple of Zeus to heal your units at all times. Don't
bother with a Pharos Lighthouse, because its range is limited and it
will only uncover the sea, which you don't really need. When you make
your army, unlock your gate and head southwest. You'll run in to them.
Keep heading southwest until all of them are dead, that’s it, you’re
done.
***********************************************************************
5.6)-------------------Young Alexander: 336–334BC----------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         Defeat 3 armies, develop combat skills.
When this starts, wait around for a few seconds until
Alexander arrives. Listen to some talking and then go west up onto the
hill. Watch the fight, Aristotle says some things but on my computer
they only popped up for a split second. Anyway, after the battle is
over start heading west toward the spot on your map. Once you get there
follow the horse back to town and watch Alexander's father die. Kill
the 3 guys who killed him, you don't even have to kill them, just get
close and a bunch of phalanxes will run out of the city and do it for
you. After that’s done with go to the town center. When you get to the
town center Alexander will disappear. Just select your town center and
build an Alexander the Great (seriously). It takes some gold and a lot
of time so while that’s going on take Aristotle and put him on the
transport. Steer between the 2 hurricanes, and unload at the island.
You'll learn some spells, which actually gives Aristotle a use. Hop
back on the transport and go back. By the time you get there your
Alexander the Great will probably be done building. Be sure to make
your citizens get wood and food, you should make a couple more, the
ones supplied aren't enough.
When you get everything situated, make some more phalanxes,
companion cavalries and cavalry archers. When you have your army head
south to the spot on your map. When you make the cavalry Aristotle will
give you a strategy. You can use his complicated strategy, or my simple
one...
-=His strategy=-
Send in the cavalry, zip past the front and
attack from behind. Grouping will help.  Take your companion cavalry
along with Alexander send them to back and take care of the siege
weapons. Keep the phalanxes in front of your archers, and take out the
melee units with your archers. I would recommend saving before this, it
may take a few tries.
-=My strategy=-
Stop your army a little past the yellow
flags. Take Aristotle and walk him forward slowly. When you see the
army, cast malaria and run. When the guys reach your army they'll have
barely any HP left, kill them no problem. After their entire front line
is DEMOLISHED all they have left is a couple of archers and stone
throwers, take these out with phalanxes/archers/cavalry. Just be sure
to send Aristotle out of the way, because that’s the first person
they'll attack.
Either way you do it, after you beat them you'll get some
money... I think you know what to do with it... huh? You don't know???
Rebuild your army, and add to it, also upgrade _a_little_. Next keep
going south until you run into Athens’s army, it'll be even easier than
the last battle because now you have an even bigger army to work with.
If you’re using my strategy stop your army right where the road you’re
on turns southwest. As soon as you finish fighting this battle you have
must defend against the Spartan army.      You have two choices of where
to fight this battle, on a road when they land on the island, or behind
your walls. Each has its advantages, choose where you want to fight it.
If you go for behind your walls, gather all your troops and citizens
and lock the gates. Whenever a gate becomes damaged, repair with
citizens, also be sure to check the walls, as they will be attacked
too. If one of your walls breaks take all your military units there,
and kill the Sparta as they bottleneck through your wall, and surround
your palace with citizens to repair. But, the time they get into the
city your archers will have totally injured their entire army, so they
should go down quick. If you choose to fight on the road, go to the
spot on your map with a yellow flag, mobilize and use the strategy you
used for all the other battles.

When you gain control of your units after the opening scene,
go to the flags by the sea. Take your army and stop in middle of the
water, your front line should be on just on the opposite coast. Take
Philotus and make him ride ahead until he finds the army. Advance until
the army starts chasing him, then go into the back of your army. The
enemies who followed you will only be interested in kill Philotus, and
won't even attack your other troops! Just keep doing this over and over
until the army runs away.
Now go to Issus, it the southeast town on your map.
Immediately south of Issus there’s a river, on the other side is some
more of the Persian army, use the same tactic as last time to kill
them. You must kill every last one this time, Alexander will tell you
when their all dead. Now keep heading south toward Tyre, until you come
to the army. You gain control of some phalanxes, and catapults. Take
Meleager and send him up to Anticoch. Now that you have some citizens
start getting wood and gold. If you want you can build a Pharos
Lighthouse, it helps. You should build it on the coast, right above
where you got your army. Build it far enough from shore so that
catapult ships can't get to it. After that you'll know where all the
ships on the sea are. Build 2 or 3 prophets, and 2 or 3 catapult ships.
You’re going to attack from land, with support from sea.
The city is blocked with a wall, that has no gates, and then
a wall with a gate. This is good for you, the enemy gets trapped in
this chamber where you can take them out easy, use catapults/archers.
While you are killing those destroy the gate on the other side, and the
tower next to it. Now take your prophets and use hurricane on some
ships, clear a path for your catapult ships. Move the catapult ships
next to the land bridge, and attack the towers. After guys stop coming
out of the city, blow up the wall and move in. Use your catapults to
destroy the capitol, you phalanxes to guard them, and Alexander to
heal. It's not that hard, you should be able to do it. One thing you
should do is set all your generals to a team. Every now and then select
the team to check on their HP, if any of them dies you lose.

Overview:         Defeat some villages, seize Babylonia, kill Persia,
and weep.
The last of the Greek campaign and it's a good one. When you
start spend your money and make some more guys. Even out with cavalry,
and make more phalanxes. Now start traveling east until you run into a
small village. You are presented with a question, destroy the village
and take the loot, or make a town center and get your own village,
which do you choose? Well both of course! Raze the whole village, every
building and get the gold and iron. Then take your citizens and make a
settlement next to the wood. Also make a barracks, archery range,
stable and siege factory. Start shopping wood now. Spend the rest of
your money on making more units (no catapults yet), and upgrading.
Don't worry about any defense; you’re the only aggressor in this one.
Keep heading east until you’re almost in Babylonia. Use the
lure tactic on this one. Make a hero lure them to your army, and move
the hero to the back, watch enemies die. Go into the city with
Alexander and take all the loot. Now go west back to the village you
just wiped out and then north. Kill the hill tribe, and take their
loot.
Now east from here is the Persian army, go there. You need to
wipe out half of them. They have elephant archers, and powerful
cavalry. You should use the luring tactic again here, be careful though
that narrow passage can easily get clogged, and that deadly. If you are
having trouble use some citizens to make a tower or two, but you
shouldn't need to do this. After this army is beaten make some
catapults at your siege factory. If you population is maxed out then
send some units east toward the tomb, they'll die. Anyway, max out your
population and start heading east from where you fought the last battle
(east NOT south  east!!) When you get to the gates, destroy the 2 tower
with your catapults, and then the gate. If you want you can put a unit
at the gate and some elephant archers will come out, you can kill those
with your army, get some elephants out of the way. When the gates come
down you can just storm in, no tactics needed you should be fine.
Advance into the valley; destroy the tower with your
catapults and kill the standing army outside the gates. When you get
the message after you kill everyone, bring Alexander, Philotus,
Craterus, and 3 or 4 phalanxes or cavalry. When you get to the tomb a
few assassins will try to kill you but they are easily defeated. Now
watch a pretty good ending. Good job, you beat the Greek campaign!

6.1)---------------The Return of Young William: 1040-------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         Kill some enemies, kill some bandits, get a couple of
catapults, and siege a castle...
Not a very hard scenario to do. When you first start out
you’ll have some money. Select a unit and you can upgrade their stuff.
I recommend upgrading archers speed with your money because their
pretty slow. Don’t spend too much though you'll need it a little later.
Now that your done walk east on the path a little way until
some archers attack you. Just select all your guys and right click the
archers until they die. Now look on your mini-map and you’ll see a blue
spot south of where you are, go there. Once here you’ll get some
knights and pikemen added to your army.
Next another village comes up on your map, start going there.
On your way you'll find a village being attacked by bandits, you
guessed it... kill the bandits! After that you'll get some bonuses, put
them where ever you like. Continue your way up north once there you'll
get some more troops. You’re now ready to cross the bridge to Falaise.
Start going southeast towards the blue spot on your map, and
cross the bridge. When you get to the town send some guys east, they'll
run into a few enemies, kill them all. You'll find a town that gives
you some stone. Now send a guy southeast to find an engineer who will
sell siege weapons 500 stone a piece, buy 3 trebuchets. Now go north to
the castle and kill it. The trebuchets have slightly longer range than
the towers. Just send in some trebuchets to kill the towers. After you
fell some towers troops come running at you, kill them with your
troops, be sure not to walk into range of a tower and die! Rinse and
repeat; send citizens in as scouts if you are unsure. After you destroy
the keep watch it sink into the ground...

***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         A lose cannon jester who doesn't play by the rules...
Get an army, kill another army...
You start off as a jester named Gollet who needs to warn
William of a plot against him. Start walking to the blue spot on your
map and you'll be attacked by two swordsmen and an archer... guess what
you kill them... that’s a real tough jester. Continue walking and
you'll be distracted by a noise north, go there and look, it’s a wolf
you kill it too (wow). You also find a chest with bandages and a new
sword. You find two more rebels on your way there and kill them with no
problem. Stop off at a farm and get new clothes before going into town,
and apparently the clothes change his voice too (shrug).
Once there William heals Gollet and William gets a horse. Now
leave the city from the east exit or you'll die. On your way there just
you’ll find some other rebels, use Gollet as bait and kill them with
William. Keep going down the path until you find a church, William goes
in and prays, and when he comes out a group of riders is coming. Leave
the church and hide in the bushes directly across (there’s a big red
flag there).
Keep following the trail and you'll come across a village and
pick up 3 knights. Next on your journey is an "ambush" (2 archers) but
their on a cliff so just ride by them and then stop, William will heal
everyone. Now right here set William and Gollet (if he's alive) to team
1, and the 3 knights to team 2. Now when the cinematic pops up be sure
not to click anything until it’s done or you'll be killed by them. When
it’s over you'll see the knights not to far from you, send in team 2
(the 3 knights) and then team 1 (William & Gollet) around the battle.
After the escape you'll find yourself in a city, you get some
more troops. Go to the town northwest of your location and pick up some
more troops, after defeating the champion (pretty easy). You'll also
find some on the road. Also go to the town east (you have to go south
past the river to get there). Once you have that go meet Henrys army
(it’s on the map). Now just kill the army and you’re done with this
scenario. (Notice how Henry sat in the back row and didn't fight at
all). With the army that you've built up by now it should be pretty
easy.

6.3)-----------------The Battle of Hastings: 1066----------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         Build an army, sail over sea, kill an army, and then
kill a king.
This is the first scenario where you actually get to build a
lot of stuff. First press TAB to select your idle citizens, send them
northeast and southwest to get food, gold, iron and wood (stone isn’t
important). Also build more citizens. Now build an army, I recommend
lots of archers and knights but it’s really your preference. Don't
forget to upgrade your guys a lot (archers with full upgrades can do
some real damage). Don’t go for too much diversity so you can just
upgrade the units you have. As soon as you get some units put them at
each of the spots where your gathering resources, as bandits will
invade from time to time. Once you max out your population William will
be able to go to the dock and get transports, don’t do this until you
are ready, there’s no turning back.
Start ignoring iron and food and concentrate on wood and gold
now. Build enough transports for your whole army (I had 6) and with the
left over population build battleships. Upgrade the battleships and
shove off! Go to the middle spot on you map and land, be careful
frigates will attack you be sure to kill them before you lose a
transport. When you land there will be 2 archers on a cliff, kill those
before passing or your troops will get hung up and disorganized (this
actually happened to me and I lost). After they are dead pass through
and kill the army. If William dies during the fight he'll only lose his
horse, run up to the hill or you will lose the battle.
Now Godwinson fled to a nearby hill, go kill him and his
troops, Leave William back if he fell off his horse to be safe. After
this battle heal (obviously) and march forward. If you lost your horse
go northwest from the first town you find to get him a horse first.

6.4)------------The Hundred Years' War Begins: 1340-1346---------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 4
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         Sink a few ships, get some stone, build an army, and
then storm a castle.
Almost 300 years since your last battle, William's dead so
forget about him... Anyway, start off and build 3 battleships and
upgrade range and attack once. Assign all but the demolition ship to
team 1; make the demolition ship team 2. Take team 1 and follow the
south coast and make team 2 follow the north coast. When team 1 is
attacked make team 2 go around the battle and blow up the flagship,
then you can kill the rest of the ships with team 1.
After this you'll be transferred to land. You'll have some
units and a Black Prince with the exact same powers William had. Head
south and kill any opposition. Instead of taking the front door to
Caeon make your own in the southeast corner, to avoid the towers.
You'll be able to kill the 4 building easily. Once you’re done with
that you get 5 citizens, and any left over building are yours (that’s
why you keep the towers alive). Build a settlement in the middle of all
the rocks, and mine 150 stone.
Now after that an architect comes out of nowhere and upgrades
your settlement into a town center. He just sits there the rest of the
game, so just ignore him. Get more citizens and start getting
resources. First go east and get that wood! Then go north and find the
iron and gold, you should have enough wood by now to make a settlement
there too. Since you already have a lot of iron focus on gold. Build a
dock and a bunch of fishing ships and make them all get fish (there’s a
bunch of fish just look around). If you run out of fish just build a
granary and that will produce farms for you to get food from too,
there’s also some food in the south-central area. If you wanna see
something cool go all the way northwest there’s a small localized
hurricane on the coast there’s also some others north-north-east of
your city... ANYWAYS... Build an army, upgrade them... same same. Be
sure to make a tower or two to block attacks, and station some units
east to guard your wood choppers.
When you feel you're strong enough move east. You'll run into
a hostile French city, kill them all. Head over the shallow land bridge
and do some more killing. Destroy two towers and some farms, cross a
bridge. Now getting in can prove quite tricky, they have a seemingly
endless supply of archers, knights, and ballistae (plural for
ballista!). Destroy the towers with your siege weapons, and hopefully
break through the defense and make it into the town with a good sized
army. There’s also a small strip of land just a LITTLE east from the
bridge (you can probably see if from the bridge). Drop off trebuchets
here, and you can snipe off a bunch of building with no problem. The
wall will protect you; you can also send Black Prince to heal if
needed. Also watch out for priests they can convert your units and use
them against you. And one more thing during the game some other country
(France I think) will keep attacking you and you can't seem to destroy
them. I just built a huge wall and they stopped at the wall and did
nothing at all (no rhyme intended). Good luck on this one this is the
first one that might hold you up.

6.5)--------------------The Black Prince: 1356-------------------------
***********************************************************************
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Fun        (1-5): 3
Overview:         Steal a bunch of treasure, get an instant army, then
kill another army, and storm the castle.
Just start off heading southeast and almost instantly along
your journey you'll come across some French, kill them and plunder
their treasure. You won't be getting anymore units for a while so
ration the ones you have. Oh and be sure to take the chest with you (it
can roll around). Keep going east until you come across a small
village, kill all the troops and take down the tower (be sure to make
the Black Prince heal whoever the tower attacks!!!) Destroy the rest of
the village if you want, although I don’t think it’s required. If you
keep going east you'll hit a dead end, so now go west. You'll come
across a small monastery and they attack you, their pretty easy. Oh I
should also mention they will make volcanoes on you so as soon as you
get there, kill everything in sight quick. 3 down 1 to go. Now head
back to where it was a dead end before, oh look wasn't that easy the
trees are felled!... Right... just take the path over the water. Run
through the valley and don’t worry about the rocks, just keep moving.
You come across a village; same old kill the troops take the loot. Now
you hafta get back to where you started. The rocks in the valley have
fallen so forget about that. Instead go around north then west, cross a
big bridge. You'll come across a deserted village but it’s not that
simple... AMBUSH (3 guys attack you)... After that you come across
another village being attacked by bandits (French) kill them and WOW
WASN'T THAT CONVIENT!?... 2 transports at your disposal. 3 rivers to
choose from, you could try all 3 or just take the one that leads south.
Go back to where you started and you’re done.... NOT!
Now you gotta meet reinforcements north, so hop back on your
transports and go north, wow that was a quick trip... Instant Army just
add water. Now go south and loop up north. Get up top the hill and be
sure to guard both entrances to the hill. Try to save at least one
trebuchet so you can get in the castle easier later on (I didn't have
any trebuchets left so I'm writing this while my swordsmen tear down
the wall... I'm gonna go find something to eat). I timed it, 11 minutes
to tear down the wall + 4 minutes for the castle, SO BE SURE TO SAVE A
TREBUCHET! Anyway all ya gotta do is tear down a wall, get in ignore
the towers and kill the castle.

temples, while avoiding priests who can convert you.
Then storm a castle, and beat an army who outnumbers
you by a whole lot.
This scenario starts out with King Henry V running to Oxford.
When you get there make some citizens and go to the gold and food on
your map... build settlements, get resources. Make an army I recommend
