Guides for each campaign ?

[The Last Unicorn]

Just wondering if anyone has links for some good strategy guides for each campaign ?
I am not going to play the game enough to figure that out on my own, I need someone to show me the basic idea ;p

Do Agamemnon first. There are so many differences in campaigns it's hard to come up with general rules of thumb. Diomedes wasn't all that difficult. Hector and Odysseus (especially) are much trickier. Every campaign has its own very unique set of mechanics, but for the most part 90% of it is identical. The exception is Rhesus of Thrace - he introduces a ton of new mechanics and dispenses with agents. Leave that one for a later run.

There are a couple of general guides on the steam pages. Just go slow, travel carefully so as not to get jumped, and expand as soon as you can. Food is king. Pay very close attention to the politics as before you know it you can get ganged up on. Don't be shy about buying you way out of trouble - just make sure you don't make someone else unhappy in the process.

It's impossible to devise an overall strategy for every time you so much as blow your nose or glance in the wrong direction, the actions and opinions of the other factions will change somewhat. For example, I'm playing Rhesus at the moment. I should be allied with the Trojans, but in actual fact I've just bribed Sparta to finally turn on Mycenae and the Amazons are my BFF's now, with Sparta a close second. Dardania has almost disappeared and the rest of the Trojans are toast. Who saw that coming ??? I didn't notice how fast Agamemnon was expanding and I had to play serious defence and catch-up.

Thank you for your post :) The general tips will sure com in handy too :)

I know there isnt like a general guide, I was looking for kind of general strategy for specific factions ;p I am probably going to play as Hrode Amazons and Memenon and Paris, maybe Achilles too ;p I just dont feel like trying to figure out the plan for entire campaign on my own since I dont have enough experience in the game and will probably get bored with it before I would ;p

For shogun 2 or Attila there was alot of You Tube series, and in the begging your man would usually explain ''oh I am going to do this this and that and try to get this to focus on such units'' and so on. Troy is kinda less popular and the channels I used to watch dont cover it ;p
Nothing in the guides section either ;p

I was just looking for any youtube channel or a guide anywhere that wold explain a general plan for each campaign or at least the ones I am interested in ;p

Can only comment on Penthesilea (Horde) and Paris.

Horde: You basically can pick the enemies to your liking and will be never bothered to defend any kind of settlement or ally. Maybe help them, but that's not your agenda!
THe horde/upgrade/resource-management is really well done.
If memory serves right, I finished her campaign with 4 armies and oh boy, her axe-warriors!
And she got pretty nasty skirmisher as well - hit reliable hard and can hold out just fine in melee.
Don't be tempted to recruit her cavalry units - they do look rock solid on paper, but perform worse. Somehow it is a messed up entity table entry and the weapon length.
Their attack doesn't seem to connect....they have difficulties in hunting down a super-cheap archer unit. And we are talking about the top-most cavalry: Furies!

Only Warhammer III recently managed to get cavalry somehow right.

Paris:
- recruit only Generals, that can boost archer-range and reload :P
- recruit cheap heavy spear warrior to screen off enemy archers and for the sake of spears
- recruit supreme archers
- get Artemis & Apollo to worshipped to unlock the chance to get their Idol after a battle (10% range each and stacks)

Enjoy having archers, that can literally darken the sky! Specially once you get the research for another 10% reload. Somehow that reload-stat in Troy is busted and tech+hero+god skill lets you fire every other 2.2 seconds.....

Oh, and he starts next to Myrina - one of the 3 cities, that can get a Poseidon monument and is depending the situation rather easy to get. Might need some diplomacy, to get them to war without repercussion.
And you have a high chance to get Lesbos under your control, though that depends on Hector and how he reacts and what difficulty you are playing.

edit2: lesbos can serve as an ambush-base of sorts, the AI either will take it at all cost or ignore it entirely! Ambush-force >>> you can also easily destroy the attempts of an invasion, because the AI will always park their force next to the settlement on sea, so they can attack and do things the other.
Most likely in travel-speed :P

editwhatever:
Please do yourself a favor and play Odysseus.....

you get to play a special troy-battle with the horse as a ruse! By that time your units would slaughter stuff, but you get to play it with only 6 units ^^
Odysseus Skirmisher >>>>> all
And you can get the sail-home achievement.....

Wow good stuff thanks man xD I think ill try Panthalesia next xD Too bad you say cav is no good, I love horses XD I could probably get centaurs instead right ?

I played as Paris xD and I think I did most things the way you said ;p I like archer armies cause they can force everyone to attack you with the superior range and they basically just make any battle a defensive battle ;p

I just got overwhelmed when daddy gave me the kingdom and I kinda stopped there ;p So Amazons sound like a nice change xD

My main issue tho was that you can only have hero armies move around the map and they are very expensive so you can only have a few of them, and since there is like one wide open coast alot of random ♥♥♥♥♥ would just land anywhere where I am not standing at the moment, and I spent most of the game running from one place to the other often not making it in time and having to rebuild heavily, whats the remedy for that in this game ?

Maybe ill try odyesseus one day too :) I actually got him as adversary for Paris which is weird I thought the Spartan feller who he nicked Helen from would be the one ;p
