5: Campaign Tips

1: EXPANSION I RISE OF ROME

1: Birth of Rome
Build your towers to the north first. Build a storage pit on the cliff side for quick stone gathering. Also be sure to build a dock on the shore north of your city to reach the LAST two towers built. Do not expect much interference once your tow& 8e men and a catapult. Take them out immediately. Th& tern side, expect to run into several priests, catapults, chariots and towers. Expect more of the same in the center. On the western side, however, you only had the barge itself. Interestingly, the ships only attack when attacked or when a ship dray and archers. Good Luck!

4: EXPANSION IV EMEMIES OF ROME
1: Crossing the Alps
Looking for the Scouts? On the map, there will be two yellow areas you can see to begin with. One of them is an area where your 'scouts' (villagers) are being held. You can order them to attack the walls without fear, because the town will be bra t mbat the academy units, siege equipment and towers protecting the Government Center.

*Tip* When typing in a cheat, to enter it multiple times, highlight it, and press ctrl+c. Then press ctrl+v and enter, over and over again.

7: FAQ
Q: The Cheats aren't working for me. What's wrong?
A: First, the cheats won't work in a multiplayer game, only single player. Second, the ZEUS cheat does not work on the gold edition, and it doesn't effect cheat units. Finally, see if your cheat is being displayed as a chat message. If it is, you rt big that it stresses your video drivers. If worsrt4 for the cheat codes section.
Finally, I would like to thank gamefaqs.com for posting this. (hopefully)
