Have any of you played the 2nd scenario and won??
I played it yesterday twice, and today, always (blush) on "Easiest." But I never win...
Now listen, Peter. I am not asleep at the wheel. Or on holiday. I cranked out tons of villies and they were chopping and foraging up a storm. And I went to the dock which was already there in this scenario. And I built about 6 Scouts.
And I got my Market - and farmed up a storm. I had tons of resources. And built archery. And had cavalry.
Nothing bad had happened yet. Then I researched at the Granary and built a wall. The "hints" with the scenario said to. But the wall didn't work like it was supposed to. I built it on the right side near my dock. But what happened was I walled all my folks in and my boats out.
On to Bronze. And the enemy ships started firing like mad. That wall did nothing. They shot over the wall. And I tried to get a villie to repair my shot up ships, and of course he couldn't get to them because of the stupid wall I had built.
Then I built a Temple and got 2 priests. But the priests could not convert over the wall. And things began to happen fast. Seems most of my archers disappeared. The computer had an endless supply of scouts.
So I built two fire ships - you know, that big ship with fire in its eyes, and Whoooom. Blew up what was in my way. But I was going no where. My men were disappearing.
So I built a huge transport ship. And going around the top of the wall, I was able to put what was left of my archers, cavalry,one priest on it (because at this time I was exhausted). My goal was to get those blasted artifacts and
bring them home.We went straight up to the right top. Saw the red. And sailed onward.
Well, we got off the transport, and they blew the blasted transport up so we had no way to get back home. And then they got my men.
I know I had a few farmers left back home. But I just couldn't start all over. So I clicked menu and quit.
And friends, this was on "easiest." I don't know what I am doing wrong. I think I worked fast and built up supplies and villies, etc.
Maybe it is like in chess. I thought my opening was good. Maybe my mid game is off. I don't have an end game yet. And I have not had the good fortune to arrive at the real end and see that great "You Are Victorius!"
I am far from dumb. But I can't figure out why I can't win this 2nd Scenario on Easiest.
Have you all won it? Any thoughts?
