Scenario 9 Chinese campaing.

[AndyChaOz]

I already spent the entire campaign on "absurd" difficulty which is after "Titan", but I got stuck in scenario 9, I always lose because the enemy titan arrives very fast even when I have all the wise men and one of the main heroes summoning the titan, I need advice.

[viktorhallo]

when i beat it at ludicrous i spammed that hero archer type unit you can build from the academy. i used them to kill the enemies that follows the titan making your allies stay alive way longer. at the same time you should use your non ranged heroes and regular units to defend at home half your force should be hero archers to help your ally and the other half should be regular units to defend at home. i walled of the right side and built around 6-8 fortresses shooting arrows from behind the walls aswell.
your hero archers need to stand behind your allies so you dont lose them.
by the time the titan arrives at the wonder you should have enough hero archers to hold him off until your titan arrives.

Its actually impossible to sumon the titan before the enemy arrives , you have to spam the archer hero and have an army defend your base and the summoners. Use your main heroes to tak and aggro the titan , do not let the enemy myth units from destroying the wonder by using your summonable dragon. And yeah its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grind it HAS TO BE FIXED ASAP. Or at least let us know thats the point of the scenario.

BTW i beat it on TITAN diffculty my guess its that the scenario was never tested on anything but Hard.

just beat it on Ludicrous difficulty which was super fun kinda felt like a multiplayer match.

-Right off the bat make 5 sages to build titan gate.
-get the other underworld heroes to help contain the lower map.
- you need a hero army to help kill the add on myth units (they are the ones doing the damage) you can ignore and kite the titan. the dwarf heroes can help tank a bit if you muster up forces fast enough.
-back in your main base make walls to stop raids and protect economy then just right-click on barracks to keep soldier production for a standing army.
-there are 2 town halls you need to larger army and economy go get them asap.

by the time chiyou reaches the wonder you should have your titan out just in time. if you dont protect your titan it can die to the red army than a titan fight.

Actually you can send both kuafus and peasants to speed up the building of the titan gate.

I too beat it on Titan, and I have no f-ing clue what your talking about, By the time the enemy Titan go past the Norse I was floating thousands of resources at max pop whilst spamming units at it(Half of which were not even hero units).

The only thing they NEED to fix is making it clear that you need to use sages on the the Titan, that is a f-ing stupid mistake to not catch before release.

I... don't believe you, unless I don't know because I didn't use them at the same time as a sage, they don't make any progress on the titan gate.

Its true, i found out on my 1st try by accident, havent finished it yet after 2 tries tho, need a clearer mind to continue (doing it on Hard)

Here's my strategy on Ludi difficulty:

Send Kuafu to the bottom left and bottom right to grab the two TCs.

Build a few lines of walls (2 is enough) to the north-east of your base and add fortresses and a token defense force as needed.

Get a tradeline to either expansion TCs. Get upgraded Pixiu and grab all the underworld reinforcements.

Auto-queue all heroes and use them to raid the attack force with the titan. The titan itself takes ages to get through all the bases if you can wipe out the accompaning myth units. In my clear this stalled out the titan at the Norse base until our own titan was summoned.

[Zwaardbei]

You're all thinking too small.

I sent one Kuafu to the Greek area and built ~6 Imperial Academies (Hero building) there. Then I spammed Pioneers (Hero archer), and the two unique heroes. If you're mindful to clear the myth unit ads you can kill Chiyou before he even leaves the first area.

I found this out on my second run where I narrowly lost my production buildings, which I improvised forward, when he was at like 3000 health, after losing my first run because I ignored him.

Either way the titan gate had at most 50% progress with all sages active, so I recommend stopping at 1 sage to keep the game from nagging you and sending/building the rest forward (or build it with villagers I guess). Also recommend deleting pioneers after. They don't really kill anything Huang Zhaowu sends after you.

Ludicrous difficulty btw.
