Come on Darius, just because I answered a few questions I'm not the expert on solving the campaigns - most of you won them I suppose - but I finished writing a kind-of walkthrough for the Egyptian campaign.
The seventh - I don't know by heart if that's the wonder or naval battle thing. Have to look that up.
Btw you can still access the old walkthroughs (only for egypt though) in this site - from the site map if that's right.
Oops - Trading. Well, you have to realize that sometimes you can't save a building - abandon it and build another dock on the north east coast, build a big fleet there and then wipe out your enemies.
OR have all your villagers on wood and tart building scout ships like mad - right from the start that is. That way I beat it at hardest.
Still another way is to abandon your dock for a while, upgrade to Bronze and train chariot archers, research woodworking and Bronze wood tech as well so they have the same range as the enemy scout ships.
