GOD CHOICES: N/A

MAP LAYOUT: The center of the map is the city of Sikyos, which the Titan will destroy over the course of the mission. The N end of the map contains Kastor battling against the Tricked Atlanteans, but you can ignore them. You’re in the S portion of the map with plenty of resources around, most importantly the two Large Gold Mines E of your TC.

WALLS: Wall off the passes to the NW and SW of your TC, leaving the N pass open.

WALKTHROUGH:This mission is so absurdly easy that I’m pretty sure it was included mainly for plot purposes. You can completely ignore Kastor’s battle. You will be attacked solely by masses and masses of Prometheans, which means that you only need to mass Priests. That’s it. Wall in the passes NW and SW of your TC and get a few Villagers gathering food (in order to build more Villagers) and at least a dozen on the Gold Mines E of your TC, then build two Temples and start massing Priests.

You also need to build three Rocs and send them to Kastor’s base to end the mission. You start with enough Favor for this, but you could always build a couple of Monuments anyway. Just be sure to get them there before the timer expires. With around three minutes left, the Titan will come towards your base. Draw him to the NE with a Priest to stall him. The Ancestors God Power also stalls him for a bit. As long as you’re alive when the timer expires and there are three Rocs over Kastor’s TC, the mission will end in success.
