Put a fast, powerful unit on an empty row (best available cavalry). With luck, it will kill one or two new opponents before reaching the other side, then it's health is restored. Can get through a lot of battles with very few casualties, and invest all your gold in cavalry improvements - ignoring the other weapons saves a LOT.

Easy to win even on son of zeus. Armies to have from beginning to end: 15 scout cavalry, 25 pikeman and 35 peltast. Let the enemy send troops first and just counter them, pikeman for cavalry, 1 or 2 peltast for infantry and cavalry for archers (sent in at the last second). Once your command builds up to like 150+, flood in the cavalry on different stratas. Easy win against any territory. Now the techs will help as you go. Dont spend money on new unit types except the pikeman and dont spend money on surgery or barracks. Focus on the 2 income techs, then command, and then attack and def for your 3 unit types. Done. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the strategy on the game 5/5.

very good game . It would be a good idea to have autosave after every battle. Also when Alexander the Great conquered an area he took the local spelial group under his command ... so why sth similar couldn't happen at this game too .

If anyone was wondering why the best cavalry in the game was called "companion cavalry" its because they would be made up of Alexander's companions. They are THE people you would want to be. They're the military AND social elite!

Historical note: Alexander's pikemen would not be called "Macedonian Pikemen" they would actually be called "Phalangmen"

Now when I play it second time I really wish they were more aggressive and not as sneaky as persians. Say you had Persians attacking it should show on the map colours as they're gaining ground etc. Atleast 3 nations fighting it would be most amazing ever! And yeah. There is bug after couple of rounds displaying instantly

badges like conquer whole world hard, beat persia easy & max your army medium badge if so..
To beat Persia is perhaps the easiest thing to do from the 3 :) But defo need badges so I can crush the game once again! :)
Badge like: reaching 10,000 gold would be the easiest ever!

12.5 years, units trained: 1.266 killed: 2.857 Gold Earned 1,560,111. Wish it had badges and wish Babylonians or Egyptians had fought as well as Persians did. It took all excitement away once I wiped out Persians.. :S

remember: just because a unit is considered a counter to another doesn't mean it will always win. if a super upgraded enemy cavalry unit goes against a militia it could take a lot of militia to fight

im interested in the fact that if the persians take one your countries you cant defend it at all you have to retake it rather than defending it like the persians do

This game is so bull shit, I lose all my units that are supposed to counter then enemy and the counterable enemy still beats 3 of them!

Use Cavalry. Put all research into only those things which affect cavalry, and leadership. Cavalry units will usually kill at least one enemy before they cross, so keep sending them on currently empty rows. Sometimes they will just run through, sometimes they will meet (and kill) and enemy before the other end. All health restored for a new run. Win at Son of Zeus level, and take a new province every turn, with hardly any casualties overall.

Greatest tip When an enemy takes over your country the next turn they will attack another country leaving 5 incredibly weak units so to make money let a general invade and take back countryies when they move on to new ones u aonly lose 1 country meanwhile u are making lots of gold and not losing troops

"Use militia against Cavalry" *watches enemy cavalry mow down her militia troops like wheat*
"Use Cavalry against Archers" *watches enemy archers mow down her cavalry like wheat*
"Use Archers against Infantry" *watches enemy infantry mowher archers down like wheat*
*shakes her head, give the game a 1/5, and moves on*

game is easy, as long as you know the basic strategy and follow through it: just attack the troops with their weaknesses or use summon strongest troops right before weak enemy units like archers get past your border

What I really hate about this game is when you try to invade a place and you loose, most of the time, you loose another land! Why can't it be when they invade, you engage in a battle to defend?!

I had an error it told me to report. i had 2 territories left to conquer, invade arabia, and an error came up, with a bunch of binary code (which I don't understand), and I could continue the battle but there was no music.

redeyeflashtwice: ok, it works, but you ruin the fun, and the historical point of the game -_-. it's not epic anymore the way you play it.

Ok, here's what you do. After the tutorial battle, go and conquer Illyria. Than just keep ending your turn until the persian advance comes and takes Thrace. Now end your turn until the persians take another province. Than, retake Thrace. The Persians will have left very very few troops, probably about 6 at the most. Retake this province and end turn more until the persians take ANOTHER province. Retake the previous province, and than end turn again until they take another. Continue this cycle until you have max research on everything you need, and than attack the Persian army. Now, start conquering the world, it should be easy from this point on.

For those of you that read the history lesson here is a cheat for you. After a turn spend all your money on the most expensive unit spend nothing on research. then refresh the game when it reloads your money will be reset and you will keep the troops as well. does not work for research items.. but you can buy 99 of Companion Cavalry then sell them and use the money for cheaper troops and research items, have to keep refreshing though. You can also right click the game and hit 'back' then right click again then hit 'forward' so you can keep buying troops quickly. IMPORTANT!!! If you use the right click shortcut before you play for real CLOSE your browser window and open the game in a new window. if you dont when you play you will be attacked by all the opponents troops at the same time! Once you understand this trick there are many tricks that are born from it but you will have to do some of the work yourself! :) Have fun!
