Need advice on Battle For Greece #6 "Death to Traitors"

I know how to get all the oyster gold and conquer the map but I lose momentum at the final siege. I keep losing my armies and I failed my second attempt on this mission, despite playing on story difficulty. The only thing I can change is to use ships in the final siege.

I also realise that to breach the second wall I must destroy the castle, and perhaps snipe the last castle with leviathans.

I kept on producing more army and sent them to arrive at the green city, then moved them in. Just keep tidal-waving more soldiers in.

The Achaemenids best units are Immortals (ranged mode) and war chariots. As they both handle the Greek units very well. So spam them from the castle and stable respectively.

I went naval first to deal with light blue, then went full land, killing everything until I got to the south of blue’s city. Then I built a bunch of stables and spammed chariots, and destroyed the forts with ballistae. It’s not that hard compared to other levels in the Persian part of the campaign imo

YouTube is cancer.

Thanks I’ll try this.

What? Why? A strategy is far easier to grasp when you can actually see it

Create lots of trade carts and send them to Artemisia’s base, then get lots of food and buy stone to create 3 forts south of your base and another one east of your base and then get infantry and immortals south and cavalry east and use your cavalry to expand to the east of the map, which is not much either…

You have the mercenaries, destroy the 4 towers of Myous and the mercenaries will take over the city and support you, then Pyrrha will not want to fight you and will also ally with you, so you only have to destroy the bases of Aristagoras to the south (if you want you can destroy the temple of Didyma, but that will make Pyrrha become enemies with you, so it is not very advisable if you want to finish the map quickly, I did it simply to stretch the map a bit more, but it was too long for me)

After having surrounded Miletus you can leave your troops to the south and simply focus on creating ships like crazy and simply attack the shipyards to the southwest of the map and that will make the Athenian fleet leave the map and then you simply have to attack Miletus from the south and that’s it… Aristagoras will flee as usual when you destroy the fort of Miletus and you will have won the scenario…

I beat the level a couple of hours ago. I took all the gold mines and didn’t use many fishing ships or trade carts, just villagers. I used the chariot upgrade and the pierce armour upgrade for the mace-man. Barracks units and chariots defended my base, and on story difficulty I only built 1 castle and 2 towers. Archers were a bonus, but they’re weak at defending themselves so I didn’t use many until the final siege.

The other way is to kill the mercenaries, and then myous periodically tributes 400 wood which I don’t think I needed anyway. Pyrrha didn’t fight me once I got rid of the mercenaries.

In my previous game, the enemy soldiers were guarding the beach, so they destroyed the siege weapons as soon as I paid the 500 gold. This time, I didn’t have that problem, so overwhelming the enemy city was easy, with about 4-6 trebuchet things.

Yes, any option is valid…the scenario is not as difficult as the following ones…

Death to Traitors is annoying because I don’t expect to be rushed by powerful infantry. It took a few tries to discover all the ways to collect gold.

Yes, I didn’t even bother going for oysters, I went for just carts and that’s it…
