The basic mechanics
  1. Focus your efforts
    • The essence of the game is the correct choice of the next goal (opening a key technology, construction of a building, etc.) and achieving it in the shortest possible way. After that, the next goal is selected. Don't go in all directions at once. If your current goal is a technology, maximize your culture in all reasonable ways.
  2. Develop your economy
    • If there is no clear goal for a certain period, then perform general economic development. The approximate algorithm is as follows. Maximize the population until you reach the limit. If there are enough jobs for everyone, raise the population limit. If it's not enough, do buildings to create new workplaces.
  3. Avoid famine
    • It’s usually necessary to keep the population from falling, because even a small negative population growth can lead to starvation and a sharp reduction in the population. For example, if at this stage your priority is culture, keep enough farmers so that the population does not decrease, and put the rest of the workers on culture. Also, you should usually keep the money stock greater than 0 (avoid bankrupcy).
  4. Attract settlers
    • The exception to rule 3 is the mechanics of attracting settlers. Attraction occurs when you buy a population limit and a lot of workplaces for farmers that cannot be processed by our current population (and also provided that the assimilation of previous settlers is completed). In this case, at the beginning of the next turn, as a result of the arrival of immigrants, our population will be equal to about 60% of the farmers' limit, regardless of the current population. Therefore, on this move, completely remove all farmers and move them to other jobs.
  5. Don't produce resources over limit
    • After reaching the population limit, keep the necessary number of farmers to maintain the population (rule 3), and redistribute the rest to other jobs. The same applies to the army and the fleet limit.
  6. Don't forget your ships
    • If you produce a fleet, place newly produced ships on the trade routes at every turn.
  7. Don't lose merchants
    • Merchants are lost when the trade disappears (if the relationship with the city falls below 2). It is necessary to monitor this and remove merchants from the city in time. Be sure to remove merchants from all cities before the unification of Greece.
Athens - 1st stage. Dorian invasion (T1 – T30)
  • The key to pass this challenge: not later than T29 you need to complete the task to increase the population to 150 (this gives +30 warriors) and open the Physical Training technology (this will allow you to produce several extra warriors to repel the attack).
  • To do this, sequentially set and complete the following goals:
    • Discover technologies: Craft – Farming – Mythology – Mining – Pottery. During this period maximize the Culture
    • Settlers attraction. Maximize Production until you accumulate 50 hammers. Then simultaneously build Houses and Gardens. On the next turn your population becomes 34. It does not matter how much it was before. Therefore, until this moment, don’t grow population at all.
    • Discover technologies: Kilning – Physical Training. And at the same time grow population up to 150. Workers' priority: Culture > Population > Production. This goal must be completed not later than T29.
    • Training of a sufficient number of warriors to repel the attack. You need to accumulate strength 33. If necessary, build a Gymnasium.
  • T30 – repel the Dorian attack. Select "Exterminate captives". After repelling the attack immediately ally Larissa by 2 envoys.
  • City appearance: Sparta and Knoss from the game start, T15 – Corinth, T30 – Larissa
  • Scouting: T11 – Peloponnese, T21 – Thessalia
Athens - 2nd stage. Persian invasion (T30 – T52)
  • The key to pass this challenge: not later than T51 conduct 3 alliances (this gives +200 warriors)
  • Sequentially set and complete the following goals:
    • Discover technologies: Education – Trade – Eloquence – The art of negotiation – Marble processing. Maximize Culture. Simultaneously produce the required number of hammers and build the Library and the Marble quarry. After discovery of the Eloquence and accumulation of sufficient amount of money ally Sparta (usually it’s about T35).
    • Second settlers attraction. Maximize Production, the secondary priority is Culture. At this stage you need to discover the Legislation and build the Market. Then discover Water supply, accumulate 2000 hammers and simultaneously build the Well and the Field. On the next turn your population becomes 360.
    • Alliance with Pella. Worker priorities: Money, then Population. The alliance must be conducted not later than T51 (you recieve 200 warriors). If Corinth attacks us, stop the attack by an envoy.
    • In parallel with the previous task, prepare the defense. You need to discover Reinforcements and build the Walls not later than T51. If there is enough culture, also discover the Seamanship to unlock merchants.
  • The Persians attack on T52. Choose "Prevent the crossing" (you need 2.8T Greece strength).
  • City appearance: T45 – Pella
  • Scouting: T31 – Epirus, T41 – Macedonia, T51 – Cretan Sea
Athens - 3rd stage. Further play on Greece map (T52 – T133)
  • The game becomes more flexible. The priority is economic development.
  • Approximate order of technologies: Wheel – Writing – Mathematics – Irrigation – Democracy – Monuments – Mechanic – Civilian reserves – Tactical formations – the rest in arbitrary order
  • Approximate order of buildings: Fountain – Barn – Road – Academy – Agora – Marble workshop – Drill field – the rest in arbitrary order
  • City appearance: T60 – Rhodes, T80 – Ephesus, T89 – Sardis, T120 – Troy, T130 – Miletus
  • Envoys. Ally Corinth, Knoss (not later than T94), then the rest of the cities as you accumulate envoys and money
  • Merchants. After the first merchant appears, start trading with Corinth (buy hammers). Gradually raise the number of purchased hammers to 8000.
  • Challenge "Alexander the Great" (T67)
    • From T57 to T66 send to Macedonia all the troops produced and the part of the population that does not have workplaces. On T66 send money, increasing the probability of passing the challenge.
  • Challenge "The rise of Rome" (T90 or T95)
    • Rome attacks on T90. You can postpone it to T95 giving 20K gold.
    • For the victory you need to accumulate approximately 30K strength including allies.
    • The main work is done by the allies, to which Corinth and Knossos must be added by this time.
    • Produce a certain amount of army to increase the strength to the required level. To do this, you must discover Tactical formations and build a Drill field.
  • Challenge "Skythian invasion" and the unification of Greece (T90 – T132)
    • After successfull completion of the first 4 challenges, the most difficult part is over. Gradually develop, explore all technologies, build all buildings, ally all cities, accumulate money and army needed to defeat the Scythians.
    • All problems with money are solved by building the Athena’s statue (+500K gold per turn). Don’t delay this too much.
    • Accumulation of the resources is very easy. At the end, you will have to spend a dozen moves waiting for Miletus and the Scythians.
    • The Scythians come at T132. Pay them money until their strength is reduced to the level where you can attack them. 5.4M of gold should be enough.
    • After that, take back all merchants from trade routes and unite Greece. For maximum game score, choose the Republic.
    • Accumulated scouts, envoys, merchants, generals, settlers remain when you move to the world map, so it's better not to waste them.
Athens - 4th stage. Play on the world map (T133 – T270)
  • Approximate order of technologies: Crop production – Craft – Farming – Pottery – Trade – Mythology – Education – Writing – Physical training – Mining – the rest in arbitrary order

I would like to translate your guide into Chinese and publish it on Steam

...
With only 1 closing, my population stabilized at around 600k during the plague and even after the last big wave I could finish the whole thing with 400k+. What is even better, my economy remained fully functional during most of the plague.

Maybe there was a patch changing the logic? Or you started it with lower population and did not have so many people to work on the farms?

Thanks mviner, I loved your egypt guides as well and this is just as much useful.
I just played it through with Sparta, but I did not really get why should we close the buildings 6 times during the Justinian Plague?

I built aquaduct ~5 turns before and boosted my population well above 1M. The during the first days of the plague I upgraded the fish farm, dairy, farm etc In this way I had so many workers in the "food industry" that closing the buildings hurt me more economically than I won with the lower mortality resulting in quicker population drop. (the 1st closing actually helped, but any other would just make things worse).

Zangdar, you're wellcome!
Zangdar 2022 年 1 月 13 日 下午 8:02 
@mviner: can I translate and publish your guide on Steam in French?
Soulhunt 2021 年 8 月 1 日 上午 4:23 
when i started this game i instantly played corinth and Athens on Hard and finished without issues. But i had a hard time on Sparta, so i tried out this guide. Still it was not easy and some challenges was extremely close. But finally i made it - 100% Achievement Done. Thanks once again mviner.

Thanks for the walkthrough.
So basically, if you dont follow these, you're doomed?

When you peform a raid or a conquest, the battle counts to the strongest of your enemies. An ambush is guaranteed to count as a battle against the desired enemy.
Lolicon 2020 年 12 月 26 日 下午 12:17 
And yes I encountered that at T30
