STARTING AGE: Heroic
AGE LIMIT: Mythic
GOD CHOICES: It really doesn’t matter.

MAP LAYOUT: Your base is in the W corner, the only enemy base is to the NE near the N corner (one Settlement each). Four more Settlements in the E half of the map are being patrolled by the Titan. Some Hunting is in your base, but forests must largely be provided by the Gaia’s Forest God Power. Gold is limited in your base, but there is plenty more in the enemy base to the NE. Passes into your base are to the NE and to the E. The only relic on the map is in the S corner (infantry do more damage to Titans: again, cute).

WALLS: At the E end of your base, build Walls to the SE and SW of the Medium Gold Mine. All attacks will then come through the pass NE of your TC.

WALKTHROUGH:Get up a TC, a Gaia’s Forest and plenty of Villagers. You’re limited on gold in your base, so don’t get the final set of Armory upgrades (which cost several hundred gold each). With Walls in place to the E, all attacks will come from the NE so place three Spider Lairs at that chokepoint. The attacks will consist of small groups of Prometheans (easily handled by your Heroes) and tons of human units.

Back your Heroes with Murmillos and Arcuses. Get to the Mythic Age for the Champion Infantry and Archer upgrades, then get five Behemoths and build your army to capacity. You should be able to take out the base to the NE with this force, giving you access to another Settlement and plenty of resources. Wall off most of the E pass, leaving only a small gap, since the Titan will still send small groups of Prometheans against you (easily handled by your Heroes).

Now, upgrade to full and prepare the force that will take down the Titan. Thirty fully upgraded Murmillo Heroes are actually sufficient (in addition to Kastor, Ajax and Amanra), but you may want to prepare some backup Murmillo and Arcus Heroes just in case. When the Titan leaves the N Settlement, send your army there, followed by five Villagers to build a TC. Then send them (with some military support) to build another TC to the SW after the Titan leaves that area. With four TC’s built, the Titan will be weak enough for you to destroy, so wait for him to reach you and bring him down hard with all your mighty Hero goodness.
