  • You start off with a group of soldiers to the northwest, and a cavaran under attack at the center of the map. The caravan will be destroyed in seconds. Take your soldiers south, until you find a Granary and three Villagers. Start building a base. There's four other players on this map. Sasanian (orange, Persians) are your allies, so fortunately, you won't have to fight them. Parthian (red, Persians), Palmyran (yellow, Palmyrans) and Persian raider (brown, Persians) are your enemies.

  • You start off with a group of soldiers to the northwest, and a cavaran under attack at the center of the map. The caravan will be destroyed in seconds. Take your soldiers south, until you find a Granary and three Villagers. Start building a base. There's four other players on this map. Sasanian (orange, Persians) are your allies, so fortunately, you won't have to fight them. Parthian (red, Persians), Palmyran (yellow, Palmyrans) and Persian raider (brown, Persians) are your enemies. Train soldiers. You'll face lots of Horse Archers, so train Cavalry to chase them down. The first relic is the one in your original caravan, found at the center of the map. The second is to the far north, in the red town, and the third is found west of that, protected by brown towers. You'll have to pass through the enemy towns to get the relics, so take your time and level them, so they won't bother you again. Once you acquire the Artifacts, keep them at the back of your army, with a few guards, and don't let ANYONE, including your ally, capture them before you've delivered them to the Wonder.
