As I said the cities are heavily fortrified. The walls are invincible, but you can destroy the gate or capture the walls. Also onagers are disabled, instead you can build battering rams and siege towers once you have found the siege master. In this map you can only play as the Greeks, unfortunately. Don't try picking any other nations, otherwise you will find that you might not be able to train or build anything at all.
I have also rebalanced the units, and I believe this is even better than the balancing in Grand Canyon (my other map):
- Cavalry is now much faster and deadly. They are good against enemy archers, siege engines and swordsmen. But you should keep them away from spearmen.
- Spearmen are slightly stronger. They are still very good against cavalry and can hold enemy infantry. But they are slightly slower than swordsmen, meaning they are vulnerable to archers.
- Archers will probably be used more frequently in this map to defend against enemy assault. They should be kept away from hand to hand fighting.
- Although not as strong as spearmen, you should find swordsmen to be useful for assaulting enemy's wall. They can hold enemy infantry too.
