Consequences

Kamos the Minotaur has taken the stolen Atlantis trident to his island base. But Arkantos is about to descend to make him pay for his crime.

Starting objective: Advance to the Classical Age and explore the island.

Difficulty levels:

  • Easy:
    • Kamos has no Towers and fewer Anubites
    • Start with Copper Shields researched
  • Hard:
    • Kamos has more units.
    • Less resources of shipwreck
  • Titan:
    • Kamos has even more units
    • Kamos has more towers, including a tower on the cliff above your gold pile
    • Start with one gold pile instead of two, less pigs near town
    • Kamos invokes Plague of Serpents in the sea outside your starting position at the start of the game

As the scenario opens, you command several villagers, Arkantos, a scout, five Toxotes and three Triremes. Scout just north and south of your Town Center (1) to locate a large number of pigs which can be herded north back to your town. There is plenty of hunting to be found north of your town, and gold just to the south. (If you’re playing on Titan, you’ll need to take the tower out with a few villagers first.) Bonus gold piles can be found on the far north-east and south-east corners of the island. (3) Now that you’ve evaluated the resources, set your villagers to building some houses and a temple, and train more villagers at the Town Center.

There isn’t much point in building a dock and fishing, since there’s so much food on land. (On the harder difficulty levels Kamos will build send in frequent warship attacks that your starting Triremes can’t repel – just build a Tower or two on the shoreline to take them out. Don’t waste resources on building your own ships.)

Have your Triremes scout counter-clockwise around the island to locate the Shipwreck (2) and get some free gold and wood.

Once you’ve set yourself up with a decent economy, advance to the Classical Age. You can choose from Hermes and Ares. Ares is the better choice, since he gives you the Cyclops myth unit – which will help tear down the enemy Town Center. (And Towers, if you aren’t playing on Easy.)

New objective: Train an army and destroy the pirate Town Center.

If you want some time to build up, it’s easy to place walls north and south of your Town Center to keep the enemy out. Build up a substantial force of Toxotes with several Cyclopes before attacking. Use the Cyclopes to take down enemy Towers, use your Toxotes to kill enemy units and use Arkantos to dispatch the Anubites. Once you’ve cleared the area, attack and destroy the Town Center. (4) A few Anubites will appear near the destroyed Town Center, and Kamos will flee to a hilltop to the east.

New objective: Corner and attack Kamos the Minotaur. (5)

To win the mission, simply have your army pursue Kamos up the hill. (5) After a few seconds of fighting, you’ll be rewarded with victory and the closing cutscene will begin.
