Rome Was Destroyed inward One Day Achievement Guide
Rome Was Destroyed inward One Day
What nosotros have got to know almost the map
Destroy all Roman Castles earlier thirty minutes have got elapsed inward the 4th Alaric mission “The Giant Falls”.
Note: Before starting to read the guide, you lot have got to know that at that spot are dissimilar strategies to rhythm out this map. This strategy mightiness live tiresome (you volition role constantly recess together with play inward 1.0x or 1.5x speed) together with quite hard (managing multiple units at the same time).
This map requires fourth dimension together with unit of measurement management, likewise react speedily when something goes wrong.
Enemies
In this map you lot entirely have got 2 enemies, which react differently to you lot together with your allies.
Blue
The enemy that doesn’t assault you lot until you lot assault him or walk close of him. They don’t move, at that spot are a lot of them within Rome, especially protecting castle/buildings together with paths that connects amongst other areas.
Note: When you lot destroy some castles, you lot volition have some buildings, which you lot tin flame use, but at the same fourth dimension it tin flame aggro some enemies.
-> They follow the foremost enemy that they run into inward their area, thence you lot tin flame role 1 unit of measurement to bait your enemies.
It’s non just necessary to assault them, except sometimes when you lot have got to kill them to clear the way.
Purple
The to a greater extent than annoying enemy, because he genuinely has buildings together with castles. There are specific areas, where he tends to create units together with he attacks you lot when you lot assault his castle/buildings or simply walk close of them..
He creates a multifariousness of units, thence live careful when you lot create out them.
Some buildings of majestic volition choke yours, when you lot destroy the nearby castles. So it’s non necessary to create armed services buildings yourself.
Allies – What practise they do?
You have got 2 allies inward this map, which are important, because they create clean the areas that have got a big quantity of enemies – which protect the gates.
They start attacking/sending units at the instant i of your units reaches either i of their bases. They react randomly inward this map, thence you lot shouldn’t trust them to live able to destroy some castles. They can, but the probability is low…
Yellow
Located inward the eastward of the map. Your best ally for this mission, because when you lot signal him, he volition assault the gate together with and then create clean the area.
Unfortunately, when they start attacking, everything tin flame happen: sometimes he tin flame create clean the surface area together with and then assault a castle, other times he struggles to laissez passer the castle or alter objectives sunddenly (The IA is non the best).
He constantly attacks the same area, thence at that spot is a high hazard for him to clear the vogue that connects amongst your base.
Teal
Located inward the northwest of the map.
This ally is entirely useful to create clean the gate that has a bluish army, afterward he randomly sends armies to assault dissimilar areas (Small hazard that he helps you lot to assault a castle).
There is non much to country almost teal, because you lot volition play lonely when you lot advance through Rome from that area.
⠀
Should I have got to destroy this surface area first?
At the beginning, no. I’ve played this map multiple times together with it seems that yellowish tends to clear this surface area at some betoken of the game (Min vii – 16).
There is entirely a minor hazard that yellowish won’t deal to clear it(20 – 25%).
Here you lot tin flame run into the possible moments that yellowish could post an soil forces to create clean the area:
-Minute vii , 8, 10, 11, 12 or 12:20, 15, 16.
Remember: The AI behaves differently inward each game, thence I can’t guarantee, that he volition assault at a specific time.
It seems that inward this area, the enemies acquit differently from the others.
They entirely assault you lot if you lot cross his area. If you lot instruct out the area, they’ll choke back.
If you lot desire to advance through this area, you lot tin flame role trebuchets together with a minor army. Destroy the towers first, together with then the units.
Castles – Information / Tips
The Twelve Castles
The entirely mission that you lot have got inward this map. I divided the castles inward 2 groups (6 each one),
The vi castles that you lot tin flame destroy easily amongst trebuchets (you have got to clear some areas before):
The vi castle that majestic volition role to create together with post units to assault you, thence live careful.
- You volition have 250 Gold for each castle destroyed.
- Some castles volition give you lot armed services buildings from purple, when they are destroyed.
- The bluish armies, which protect the castles, aren’t of import (except one). You tin flame destroy them easily amongst trebuchets.
Information / Tips
- Purple is your existent enemy inward this map. There are entirely a few areas, where you lot have got to kill bluish units.
- Economy is important, it makes you lot able to make to a greater extent than units.
- Map noesis is of import for this mission, you lot have got to know the paths together with enemy locations to brand the map easier.
- Dont trust on your allies to live able to destroy a castle, it hardly ever happens.
- Save every time, that you lot consider necessary.
- Playing amongst 1.0x speed volition brand the map less complicated.
- Pause every fourth dimension that is necessary, useful to banking concern jibe your economic scheme together with motility multiple armies.
- React speedily if something goes wrong.
- Your allies human activeness differently every game; including the fourth dimension when they’ll start to attack.
- The entirely of import techonology for this strategy is Blast Furnace (Blacksmith). Chemistry together with Conscription are optional (when you lot have got a skillful quantity of resources).
Step 1: Base – Signal your allies/Military units (00:00 – 02:45)
Base
Note: You have got to practise both things at the same time.
At the beginning, I recommend to recess constantly together with play amongst 1.0x speed, because you lot salvage a lot of fourth dimension doing that. When you lot completed this step, you lot tin flame alter to 1.5x speed.
When you lot start the map, recess the game, together with then laid upwards these things to brand the starting fourth dimension easier:
- Send your lite cavalry to the eastward (only a few meters because you lot salvage seconds spell you lot motility your villagers)
- Move the residue of your soil forces to the due west of your base of operations iIn 2 groups, if possible)
- Split your vi villagers:
-1 to create a town centre close the berries
-1 to create a town centre close the aureate mine
-1 to create a town centre close the woods
-2 to create a castle
-1 to create 8 houses
When your villagers are done, you lot have got to motility your units manually to signal your allies.
Signal Your Allies – Moving Your Military Units
Manage your lite cavalry first, spell your infantry soil forces is notwithstanding moving to the west. Be careful when you lot cross the surface area that has towers together with units, the best vogue is crossing the border of that surface area (Check the ikon that shows the best path).
When you lot cross that area, yellowish volition start attacking. The best fourth dimension to signal yellowish is (00:40 – 00:50).
Now it’s fourth dimension to motility your soil forces to Teal’s base.
previewimg=17579136;sizeThumb,floatRight;TealSignal.jpg][/previewimg] Be careful! You can’t automatically post your units to signal your ally, because they volition role the incorrect vogue together with volition live confronted past times enemies.
When you lot laissez passer west, you’ll discovery the river amongst a minor path that connects to the north.
Send your huskarls first, direct i of them together with post him to Teal’s base, spell the other huskarls destroy the tower that defends that surface area – Necessary for this strategy.
When you lot signal your ally together with the tower is destroyed, you lot tin flame post your entire soil forces to Teal’s base of operations together with facial expression for the tertiary step.
The best fourth dimension to laissez passer your ally inward the northwest is: (2:25 – 2:40)
Step 2: Economy – Trebuchets + Strategy (02:45 – 10:20)
Around min 02:45, your buildings should live completed. Once that’s done you lot have got to:
– Send 2 villagers to the rock mine inward the due west (across the river).
– Send the other 4 villagers to farm wood.
– Create 4 trebuchets together with post them to the northwest (2 to the castle located to the correct of teal’s base of operations together with the other 2 to teal’s base of operations directly)
– Create thirty villagers (10 inward each town center) together with post them for resources (equitably).
Remember: you lot have got to motility your units manually through the path, thence live careful.
After that, hold producing villagers together with create houses, when it becomes necessary.
When the 4 trebuchets are completed, endeavor to create 2 to a greater extent than to destroy the castle that is around your base of operations (in front end of your base).
When the 2 villagers, which you lot sent to the west, have got collected 100 rock (350 Stone inward total), post them to teal’s base of operations amongst your army.
Around infinitesimal 7-8 you lot should create a blacksmith together with a market. Then reseach Blast Furnace (Blacksmith) together with purchase 300 rock (You volition have got 650).
Note: Around min 8, the berries mightiness goal thence you lot have got to laid upwards a lot of farms.
– The best fourth dimension for your trebuchet to laissez passer the surface area where the castle is located (near teal’s base) is 07:40 – 07:50.
When your trebuchets destroyed the castle located close teal’s base, post them to the gate, where teal cleared the area, amongst your 2 villagers together with the soil forces (aprox. Minute 10).
Step 3: Clearing The Big Area Destroying The Third Castle (10:20 – 13:30)
Now that you lot have got all your units (infantry, trebuchets together with 2 villagers) at the gate, it’s fourth dimension to force together with clear the area. Send your infantry inward front end to kill the enemies that defend the area, spell your trebuchets together with villagers are behind.
There are a few groups of enemies inward that area, but it’s manageable. Prioritize the enemies that block the bridge, which connects amongst the tertiary castle (Crossbowmans + Cataphracts)
- These photos demo the best vogue to create clean the surface area (Right to left).
⠀
At the moment, where your soil forces cleared the twosome area, post your trebuchets to assault the castle, spell your 2 villagers create a castle for yourself close that surface area (necessary for this strategy).
Continue clearing the surface area spell the other things are finishing.
When you lot completed that, post your soil forces close the castle.
When your trebuchets destroyed the castle, post them to the due north together with proceed amongst the side past times side step.
Tip: When you lot destroyed the tertiary castle, you lot volition have armed services buildings inward the mid area.
I recommend to recess the game together with banking concern jibe the side past times side step, because you lot have got to role them.
Step 4: Clearing The Mid Area / Preparing The Split
You have got to practise the next 2 things at the same time. You tin flame constantly role Pause to salvage fourth dimension when you lot deal multiple units, likewise playing amongst 1.0x speed makes you lot able to react speedily (you tin flame play amongst 1.5x, if you lot want, though).
Preparing The Split
When you lot finished amongst the tertiary castle, post your 4 trebuchets to the north, inward guild to destroy the 2 castles located inward that area. It’s non necessary to post units to defend it, these 2 castles don’t trigger enemies.
Meanwhile, you lot should laid upwards 2 – 3 to a greater extent than trebuchets inward your base of operations (5 or vi inward total). You have got to banking concern jibe if your ally cleared the way. If the surface area is clear you lot tin flame motility your trebuchets to the eastward together with motility them to the gate.
If your ally couldn’t deal to clear the path that connect both bases, you lot have got to create a troop yourself.
Note: It’s possible to proceed together with destroy the 2 castles located inward the eastward (Yellow gate) during that fourth dimension (makes the side past times side stride a scrap easier), but it depends on your decision. Be careful, if you lot are going to practise that.
Cleaning The Mid Area
When you lot destroyed the tertiary castle, you lot received armed services buildings inward the mid surface area of rome. The enemies inward that surface area volition start attacking your buildings, thence you lot have got to create knights to defend them. You have got 4 stables, thence you lot tin flame create 2 – 3 knights inward each building.
Tips:
- If you lot lack nutrient or aureate to create knights, sell wood. Not all of it, though.
- The best vogue is to facial expression until all your knights are completed together with to post them together to clear the surface area quickly.
While your knights are existence created, you lot have got to clear the enemies, which block both areas (knights + crossbowman army).
For this part, tt would live beneficial, if your castle has been completed. Hide your villagers together with some units side past times side to it, together with then post 2 or 3 huskarls to aggro the enemies together with lure them to your castle (you have got to assault amongst your castle manually, if it is attacking a buidling). Using the castle volition salvage you lot a skillful quantity of units.
When you lot killed all of your enemy’s units, post your soil forces to the north, where your trebuchets are waiting.
When you lot have got all your knights ready, post them to kill all the units (only the surface area amongst vision, don’t endeavor to advance to far for now, because you lot mightiness trigger majestic to assault you).
Now that the surface area is clear, laid upwards trebuchets (4 or 5) together with post them amongst your 2 villagers.
Step 5: Attacking The 3 Remaining Areas at The Same Time
You at nowadays have got five of 12 castles together with aprox. 12 minutes remaining to rhythm out the map. You notwithstanding have got plenty fourth dimension to consummate it.
The vii castles are divided inward iii areas: North(2) , Mid(3) , East(2).
Now you lot have got to assault the 3 areas simultaneously.
I recommend to prioritize North together with East first, spell you lot laid upwards everything for the assault on the mid area.
Tips:
- You tin flame create to a greater extent than units inward the due north or mid to defend your trebuchets.
- Don’t assault the castles at the same time, prioritize i together with and then proceed amongst the others afterwards. Because you lot mightiness struggle managing multiple fights
- Save the game, if you lot mean value that something mightiness choke wrong.
- Again, play amongst 1.0x speed, if you lot desire to play safe
North
When you lot start advancing towards the north, you’ll discovery a grouping of legionaries, earlier reaching the castle. Kill them together with and then laid upwards a few units, if it’s necessary.
After that, you lot volition run into the castle sorrounded amongst bluish units together with some majestic units. You entirely have got to prioritize on killing majestic buildings together with enemies.
But earlier you lot start your attack, role your trebuchets to destroy the tower together with the siege workshop, because if you lot destroy the castle first, the siege workshop volition aggro the bluish soil forces together with and then assault your units.
- Purple ever creates elite skirmishers together with a siege unit of measurement (Mangonel or a Capped Ram).
If at that spot is a Capped Ram, you lot tin flame aggro it amongst your trebuchets. If at that spot is a mangonel, you lot have got to aggro it amongst your infantry units together with and then destroy it. When you lot destroyed the siege unit, kill the skirmishers.
- When you lot cleared all the majestic units/buildings, you lot tin flame destroy the castle without trouble.
Once you’ve dealt amongst the foremost castle, proceed amongst the side past times side one.
There is non much to country almost this area, post your trebuchets carefully (through the barrack) together with house them close the trees.
As presently equally you lot start attacking the 2nd castle, majestic volition start sending units to destroy your trebuchets, thence role your soil forces to block the path together with defend them, until the castle is destroyed.
- When you lot managed to destroy the 2 castles, the due north surface area volition live completed.
East
Probably the easiest surface area to destroy. You should have got your trebuchets create to advance through the gate.
Before advancing though, banking concern jibe the surface area for enemies. If you lot run into some enemies blocking the path, facial expression for your ally or laid upwards some units yourself to clear it.
If it’s security to motility your trebuchets, practise thence together with destroy the castle that is located to the due north of that area.
After that, wait. The best instant to assault the other castle is when your ally sends his units to assault the castle or units close that area.
- When you lot managed to destroy the 2 castles, the eastward surface area is completed equally well.⠀
Mid
Probably the foremost area, where you lot genuinely have got to laid upwards your strategy, earlier you lot tin flame accuse in.
When you lot cleared the surface area (step four), start preparing trebuchets (4 or 5) together with post your villagers to the mid area. Use them to create walls inward that area. Doing that, you’ll block the path that majestic tends to role to assault you, when you lot start using your trebuchets against the castle.
You should create a gate inward the describe of piece of occupation where the ruby blacksmith is located. You volition role it for the side past times side castle.
Remember: Purple volition post units, but past times using walls, you lot forcefulness the enemy AI to have got the long way, giving you lot fourth dimension to destroy the castle without forcing a create out inward that moment.
Check the photos equally reference. If you lot cross those lines, his tower or castle mightiness assault you.
When you lot destroyed the foremost castle, role your villagers to create walls inward front end of the gate, that you lot built before
Check the photograph to run into where I recommend you lot to create it. Be careful – if you lot cross the 2nd tree, the castle volition assault you. There is a minor hazard that an enemy attacks that area. So live prepared for that to happen.
When the walls are completed, post your trebuchets to that surface area together with assault the 2nd castle.
The instant you lot start attacking the 2nd castle, majestic mightiness come upwards to assault you lot amongst an army. If so, role your cavalry to kill them. When the 2nd castle is destroyed, motility your soil forces together with trebuchets to the tertiary castle located inward the northeast of the map.
Going past times this guide, this’ll live the concluding castle that you lot have got to destroy inward the map.
But earlier using your trebuchets to assault the concluding castle, clear the surface area of all potential siege units. Purple volition live create to post a lot of units to assault you, react speedily together with halt them until the castle fall.
When you lot managed to destroy the 3 castles, the mid surface area is completed.
The achievement volition popular upwards when the “You are victorious” appears, thence you lot should goal the mission earlier 29:30 aprox.
