Game : 9 - Propontis

(normal)

• find Propontis in the north-west, bring there argo and the heroes, do not lose the initial settlement

• Foggy map   
• Revealed map   

First consolidate your settlement with some fortresses toward the wide sea and build some royal ships and bomber; upgrade your weapons; keep safe the water near your town.

The second step is to destroy that fastidious Barbarians in the north; they have a system of fortresses and a lot of ships, so you need 7-10 royal and bombers with magic of flames and/or weapon shields, you may create a fortress in the north west and then realise more than one expeditions to the north.

Attention, while you fight in the north some Persians can arrive from east in your initial settlement! As soon as you defeat the northern barbarians you can collect the treasures in their fortresses and build a second settlement facing on the bay closed by three (!) mobile reefs that you can dribble with your ships very carefully. This settlement can offer you a base for amber and fish collection in the bay, without crossing the reefs (in the bay there are the Minotaurs that you can defeat with phantom ship).

A further step can be to inflict a severe lesson to the Persians.

A good idea can be to prepare two strong fleets, one in the north and one in the south, prepare magic of flame and then to attract the Persian Ships of the southern town to follow one of your small ship until thay are closed between the coastal fortresses with a small fleet and the flett coming from the north. Your aim is to board the heavy bomber and royal ships or destroy as much as possible of these ships.

After this operation you can recover all of your ships (do not forget that the ships without crew must be equipped with new two sword units BEFORE to repair them, to avoid a random equipment of the ships). Than it is only a matter of time, money and force: prepare a strong fleet with magic of flames and than attack the first Persian town directly, then recover your ships and attack the second one in the north east. Finally you can discover Propontis and delete the remaining enemy fortresses and Minotaurs. Disarming your ships will take a lot of time (you can sell your towns but not Propontis and not the initial settlements).

Remember that all the treasures that you can have in your ships (magic wood, gift of Poseidon, etc) should be unloaded in Propontis to be available in the next scenario.
