Sarion is a jewel of the coast. It is a city of broad streets and sumptuous villas, grown rich on trade. It is no surprise that the hungry eye of King Darius has now turned to it, and even now his fleet lurks just beyond the horizon. Yet Sarion is not weak, and King Astigo has ensured that the formidable defences have not been neglected. More importantly still, the man himself exerts iron discipline and commands utter loyalty. While he still lives, Sarion is as strong a city as any on the coast.
It is two years before the events in Kharoun, but Darius is the same as ever. As always, he has no intention of fighting his enemy at their strongest, so once again he turns to his spies and assassins. However, news has filtered through that even as the invasion fleet draws close the plot has been foiled. King Astigo still lives, and the ringleader of Darius' spies has been imprisoned. With Sarion at risk of slipping from his grasp, he looks once again to his greatest servant - Jason.
I hope you enjoy this second little offering, all comments and reviews will be warmly appreciated.
UPDATE I (after 9 downloads)
- Loopholes closed
- Final battle made more difficult
- Instructions slightly clarified
- Bitmap added
UPDATE II (after 13 downloads)
- Another loophole closed. Player should no longer be able to build.
- Instructions clarified further
UPDATE III (after 20 downloads)
- Victory condition bug fixed/
- Optional objective to capture Gaia units fixed.
- Wall foundations trick disabled.
Right at the beginning of the game, I walk Jason down to the raft, but don't place him in it, and send Jason to the Library, and the raft to the Navy; thus discovering it early.
If this is a loophole, then it's an extremely serious one.

Is it just me or should this be in the Rise of Rome section?

I think The Dark Archer's last comment may mean I inadvertently put this in the wrong category. In that case if you don't have RoR this campaign may not work.

Moved this to the appropriate section. Also, due to a failing dynamic trigger this is unplayable. I'm not sure why but shortly after starting the scenario you get an almost instand you are defeated! message. Unfortunately, not recommend this to download unless it's updated.
