There's enough gold on the initial island to train plenty of both.
War Elephants are sturdy and good at leveling buildings, and Horse Archers deal good damage and can deal with their units. When control of the seas is secure, ship troops over to the red island.

There are two enemies in this scenario: Rome (red), and Syracuse (yellow), both are Romans. Beware though as it also means yellow towers can drive the player's Villagers out of that wood line.īuild up the base, and make sure to have a large navy. Since the player and yellow are separated by a thin layer of wood and cliff, it is possible to attack some of the yellow structure using the siege from the initial base. The red base might require transport drops while the yellow base can be wiped out from the sea. When the nNaval superiority is claimed, invade the Roman territory. Claim the resources there, then plug the canal above the northern tip of the starting island, without the west red settlement most of the enemy force must go through this choke point. Later, build up a small platoon of land units and raze the Western island by transport dropping. Eventually, the player can sneakily drop several Docks and quickly build up a large navy of Triremes to regain naval supremacy. Once the player has successfully completed the 'turtling shell', focus on collecting enough food and gold to advance to the Bronze and Iron Age. Try to get Villagers inland if the enemy navy starts harassing them. Consider building walls around the entire coastline, to make sure that transport ships cannot land any units. Initially, it will be extremely difficult compete with Rome at sea, while also effectively dealing with transport drops.
