3. The Prophecy (+Achievement!) | Sargon of Akkad Campaign | AoE2: DE Return of Rome

We finally get to flex the full might of the Sumerian late game!
In this scenario, we must confront Lugal-Zaggisi in his capital of Uruk. However, we also must content with the city of Ur, who will be annoying in attempting to build a Wonder.

Heavy Catapults are really strong since beside the increased stats they get a big area damage too. But I always set them to only attack when I want them to, because the AI has a master's degree in dodging those shots, while your army has an affinity to walk into them.

[@muatring]

One cool thing about this mission is that you can pretty much farm purple elephants with only a few priests. In my case, I had around 50 elephants by the time I destroyed purple, just from converting with my priest, which made the fight against the other factions pretty easy.

Map design! Not only is the look of the map important but also the closeness or how open a map is along with the given resources!

[@satekoi]

When you start Pyrrhus Campaign here is Macedonians overview:
Macedonians are specified as an infantry civilization.
Infantry is great; Broad Swordman, and has one of best Centurion in the game.
Archers is good; Composite Bowman, and Heavy Horse Archer.
Stable is great; Cataphract, and Armored Elephant.
Siege is good; Ballista, and Catapult.
Navy is Great; Macedonians missing Fire Galley, and Juggernaut.
Base defence is great; Missing only Fortified Wall.
Temple is 🤨; Error: Temple or Priest not found.

Flexing time!! Don't you just love it when you can flex the full potential of a civilization?

9:44 Aragon: "Uruk's is attacking".🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@korikemeny8830]

I found that hit and run tactics work quite well to destroy gates and have priests in an area waiting to heal the army as it returns.

[@DCdabest]

Ur be like:
"....we've had *one* yes. But what about *Second* Wonder?"

[@larsy567M]

35:24 Heavy Catapults are like SO, Trebs and BBC in one unit 11. although I think they were nerfed in RoR (havent really done testing tho)

[@shebschaf7608]

i remember one hotfix back in the days but it was about a farm bug... catapults armies facing each other was pretty normal in 4on4 ...especially Hitties vs Summerian xD

[@earl.c]

Love that you didn't even bother to tell your allies to attack

[@Rusaki12]

Thank you so much for the achievement guides.
Man, it's so hard to get the achievements in this new DLC :( I mean, at least for me they are hard to get.

[@hikatoyshi]

I replay usually the scenario in easy mode to get the achievements.

Akkad the city of the Burning Crown awaiting the True King

[@inconemay1441]

Beat this on Hard thanks to converting purple's elephant archers and building lots and lots of towers at my base to fend off red and green since they don't train Catapults. Which makes advancing to Iron Age (and creating a deathball army) a lot smoother.

[@huitzilcorp]

Great job Ornlu!

[@vaximillian9460]

Did anyone make a count of how many times Sargon “died” in these missions?

[@T2266]

How could you miss the market with that big Tom and Jerry steak in the center of it.

[@tulthor2967]

I don't understand. I managed to destroy the Wonder on hard, before completed and I didn't get the achievement????

[@julianxamo7835]

Heavy Catapult is more like AoE1 Houfnice

First Like for you!

[@mryes413]

Upgrade your towers and get chemistry.

When i see you make catapults at first and no change to iron age i said why lol…..after enemy attacked you lol those campaigns are realy hard at hard….i made all at hard but no all achievements yet. Also Pyros caampaign is hard spoil alert lol

[@shebschaf7608]

"late game doesn't exist in aoe1 multiplayer"

[@hamid3658]

I didn't like going return of Rome and why the population is only 75

[@martijn9568]

Probably because the game is balanced for 50 units, and 75 units wouldn't upset the balance too much.

[@satekoi]

last mission in Sargon Campaign has 100 pop limit.
Edit: in Pyrrhus Campaign your start at 75 pop limit in mission 1; mission 2 it's 100 pop limit; mission 3 you start at 60 pop limit, but it can be increased;
mission 4 it's 100 pop limit; and last mission 125 pop limit.

[@0707565]

I play on hard and its almost impossible i keep getting attacked by green red and purple. Huge armies and horse archer and elephants dont know what to do

[@NoThisIsntMyChannel]

convert the elephants with priests
