I won with my third one last night. The game was an hour and a half long, just back and forth...And I was going downhill. I was posiden, he was Isis...thos damn Phoenixes were killing me.
Well the map was Vinlandsaga, so I travelled out to one of the little islands with 2 ships, one filled (20/20) with villies, and the other filled with archers and Centaurs. (so they can fire at the phoenxes)
I sent 12 of my villies to build the wonder near the back of the island.(with enough room for two walls with tower space between them.) I sent 4 villies to build the towncenter on the settlement(which I immediatly started to dish out villies from with their drop point as the wonder construction site). I put 3 of the original 20 on a fortress. and the last one started to build watch towers all over the edge of the island. Eventually my new villies from the TC started to put up the walls.
Bascically I had an alcatraz. lol. I left about 15 villies in the inside wall, constantly fixing any harm it took. I wish I would of taken a Screeny...Oh well.
I also had a small area where people could stand, that i constantly brought more archers over in. All in all, it worked well. The wonder had about half it's health when the battle ended. I still won though
Then again, one time I tried to build one I coulnd't get it past the first stage...lol.
