== Introduction ==
First of all, this is a timed mission, you'll be rushing around to win this game so this is an expert campaign. Also if the wonder timer counts down to zero, then you lose the game.


First of all you'll be ambushed by the yellow Minoa enemies. Second you'll have no food, wood, gold and stone. There's no villagers so you'll be on a surviving mission relying heavily on keeping your army alive. If you lose all of your units then it's game over.
Do not bother with attacking the brown Persian units or invade their village unless they attack you as they'll waste your time and risk losing the game to an expired timer.


== Escaping into exile ==
== Racing against time on the Red Wonder ==


After you get ambushed by the yellow Minoa's immediately have your cavalry units run away, don't worry about the archers because they'll be killed or converted. Get your cavalry units to escape as fast as you can, one of them many be killed or converted by the enemy priest. Head down southeast down the mountain trail and get them evacuated on the transport ship. Your war galleys will be attacked by enemy war galleys.  
You start off in the Iron Age with 1000 food, 500 wood, 500 gold, 500 stone. 5 villagers, scouts, cavalry, swordsmans and archers, all of the technologies is researched.  


Now get your galley sent southeast and have your cavalry units run through the forest. You'll be attacked by the red Doria watch towers, archers and ballistas. Ignore them and run away because you'll need to survive and head south where the transport ships are at.
Have your villagers cut down trees and mine stone. And build a north wall, east and west wall around your village to deter the brown Persians from invading your town. Also send your villagers south where the forest is and build another town center. Also build a wall around your town center in the forest with watch towers. Then have them chop wood and mine stone and hunt game. Produce as many villagers and have them pick berries, and hunt game for food.


Get onto a transport ship and go to the south island and you'll be able to assemble and recruit more army units including Heavy Cavalry, Long Swordsmen, Composite Bowmen, Horse Archers, Elephant Archers, Priests, Ballistas, and Catapults.
Build a dock and build another wall with  many watch towers and produce triremes so you can protect your trade boats from enemy triremes. Have your trade boat trade food for gold with the brown Persian docks.


== Invading the Minoa's homeland ==
Since time is running out for the red wonder, have 3 or more villagers build 2 siege workshops and produce ballistas or catapults and use them to take out the red watch towers and archers. Then create a breach in the wall so you can sneak inside the fort.


Once you have your army units organized, have them get on a transport ship and head northwest.
Watch out for the invading brown Persian army, take out their catapults with cavalry immediately. You can take out the swordsman, archers, cavalry units with ballistas if you have 4 or more of them.  


I highly recommend taking horse archers, elephant archers, cavalry units, priests, archers ballistas as they can fire arrows at a distance.
Also create at least 2 priests so they can heal your siege weapon units and army units.


Also you can convert red ballistas to use to fight with, be careful as this is risky to your priests who can get killed in one hit. If successful it will make your game alot easier. Also make sure to take out the red enemy towers which can smash your catapults, and ballistas, kill priests. Also make sure to take out the enemy archers that are in your way.
Once inside quickly destroy the red wonder with ballistas or catapults before time runs out, if you succeed, you can take out the last of the archers and watch towers and it will be safe enough for your villagers to walk in and mine the gold so you can build catapult triremes and more ballistas and catapults.


When you find the 3 transport ships get your units on board. If there are any more yellow war galley, take them out with ballistas or convert them with your priests. Once the river is clear from yellow war galley ships, get your units back on the transport ships.
== Racing against time on the Yellow Wonder ==


Now there are 2 paths to take to get to the Minoa's city, you can either take the long path and invade from the northwest side or you can head northeast to the end of the river.
The yellow Darius will start construction on the yellow wonder and you'll have to gather resources including wood and gold to build up more catapult and ballista units.


once you get off, you should have your horse archers, elephant archers, ballistas start firing at the enemies including swordsman, archers, cavalry that tries to attack you, once it's clear, then have your catapults or ballistas take down yellow watch towers as you climb up the mountain trail. More soldiers will come after you, watch out for the enemy priests and kill them when they try to convert your units.
You'll want to build a transport ship to use to carry catapults and ballistas on board. Make sure you have 3 catapults as they'll destroy the yellow wonder faster than ballistas. You don't need any other army units since you'll be on a time limit still.


It's not necessary to kill villagers or level their city, so focus on destroying the enemy temple and breaching the wall with ballistas and catapults. Afterwards claim your artifact and you should win the game.
If the yellow wonder is complete the timer will count down and you'll have to hurry to the yellow Darius city with siege weapons.
 
Do not bother with breaching the wall as that'll cause the yellow army units to escape out and invade your hometown.
 
Instead sneak on the river with your siege weapon units, have your triremes take out any enemy triremes threats, you'll get to the watch towers which you could take down with catapult triremes but you don't have much time, instead you'll want to distract the yellow watch towers to fire at the fishing boat or trade boat so you can safely sneak your transport ship with siege weapon units on board past the watch towers.
 
Then unload your siege weapons and quickly attack and destroy the yellow wonder before the timer runs out and before the yellow army units can react to attacking your units. You should have 3 to 4 catapults and ballistas so you can destroy it quickly. Once the yellow wonder is destroyed you should win the game, enjoy the video cutscene.

First of all, this is a timed mission, you'll be rushing around to win this game so this is an expert campaign. Also if the wonder timer counts down to zero, then you lose the game.

Racing against time on the Red Wonder[edit]

You start off in the Iron Age with 1000 food, 500 wood, 500 gold, 500 stone. 5 villagers, scouts, cavalry, swordsmans and archers, all of the technologies is researched.

Have your villagers cut down trees and mine stone. And build a north wall, east and west wall around your village to deter the brown Persians from invading your town.

Racing against time on the Yellow Wonder[edit]

The yellow Darius will start construction on the yellow wonder and you'll have to gather resources including wood and gold to build up more catapult and ballista units.

You'll want to build a transport ship to use to carry catapults and ballistas on board. Make sure you have 3 catapults as they'll destroy the yellow wonder faster than ballistas. You don't need any other army units since you'll be on a time limit still.

Instead sneak on the river with your siege weapon units, have your triremes take out any enemy triremes threats, you'll get to the watch towers which you could take down with catapult triremes but you don't have much time, instead you'll want to distract the yellow watch towers to fire at the fishing boat or trade boat so you can safely sneak your transport ship with siege weapon units on board past the watch towers.

Then unload your siege weapons and quickly attack and destroy the yellow wonder before the timer runs out and before the yellow army units can react to attacking your units. You should have 3 to 4 catapults and ballistas so you can destroy it quickly. Once the yellow wonder is destroyed you should win the game, enjoy the video cutscene.
