THE RISE OF ROME
Version History:
(v1.4) 6/8/00
Added 'Forbidden Technologies' section to the 'Civilization Attributes'
section and added the Demo Cheat Codes. If anyone knows how the
'hotkey' cheats work, I would be most appreciative to anyone who would
be willing to tell me. Anyone who knows can e-mail me at
[email protected]. Sorry about not having the next campaign done.
To make up for it, I'll add a 'Multiplayer Scenario' walkthrough in the
next update.
(v1.3) 4\9\00
Wow, I had thought I had lapsed after four days without an update…
well, this update, I've added the next campaign (Expansion: Enemies of
Rome), a new section on hotkeys, a scoring section and I've tested the
remaining untested cheats. Just a few more campaigns and the 'hotkey'
cheats (I haven't actually looked them up yet…). Oh, yeah, I've also
elaborated on the 'Credits' section, adding more 'legal stuff'.
(v1.2) 3\10\00
Added some new cheats, but I have yet to confirm them. I didn't add
any new campaigns yet because, shocker, I do have a life (or will have
one soon).
(v1.1) 3\6\00
Added the third campaign. Added more information to the credits
section and FAQ section. The schedule for the remaining campaigns is
as follows: One new one every day, as long as I feel like it.
(v1.0) 3\5\00
First Version of the FAQ. Right now, I only have the first two
campaigns, but the others will be ready soon.

5: Campaign Tips
1: EXPANSION I RISE OF ROME
1: Birth of Rome
Build your towers to the north first. Build a storage pit on the
cliff side for quick stone gathering. Also be sure to build a dock on
the shore north of your city to reach the LAST two towers built. Do
not expect much interference once your towers are up.
2: Pyrrus of Epirus
Mass your navy in one spot, but do not attack without triremes and
juggernaughts. Siegecraft are essential to the attack. I suggest,
however, that you simply use the fleet as a diversion. Move you troops
along the path north of your city to Pyrrus' army's citadel. The trick
is to build towers all along the path, so if you retreat all the units
following you will suffer severe damage. The enemy army consists
mostly of elephants and cavalry.
3: Syracuse
Move you villagers behind the forest and use it as cover. Keep your
catapults near the area they originally were and use them to keep your
dock's area clear. Move your ships around, toward the northern end of
the landmass your units are on, and order them to stand ground. The
best way to get to Archimedes (he is in the area you have to invade) is
to head to the far west with many Balistae and Archers (some infantry
too) and battle up the hills to the area where Archimedes is surrounded
by walls, markets and government centers. Use the archers and balistae
to attack the balistae in the walled in areas.
4: Metaurus
The main threats are to the north and the south. In the beginning,
the northern army has very little in the way of troops, so ignore them
temporarily. A short way to the south are three more axe men and a
catapult. Take them out immediately. Then, take part of your army
north and kill all the villagers to the north. To the south, infantry
will be more important than siege weapons.
5: Zama
The best place for a wonder is just east of your city, between the
lake and the forest. Build towers on all the cliffsides around your
city. The weakest point in defense is to the far east.
6: Mithridates
Your fleet will fall under attack almost immediately, so once the
first threat is defeated head slightly northwest. Stay between the two
forests and build towers to protect either end. Also disperse your
fleet and troops throughout the area. When I say this, I mean still
avoid contact, but try to find advanced signs of attack. When your
area seems stable, advance with catapults, balistae and a horde of
infantry and archers. The area of the wonder is teeming with towers,
so be careful.
2: EXPANSION II AVE CAESAR
1: Caesar vs. Pirates
When you start out, you're just Caesar. Don't worry, just run like
'heck' (kiddies might be reading this) to the west. Don't think, just
run. Soon enough, you will reach a small village, it then becomes
yours. Run up next to a tower. Now you're safe. Next, you have to
build up a huge fleet, consisting of triremes and catapult triremes.
There are nine docks in all. Three in the western corner, three in the
southern and three in the center (those might be a little off). Take
out the ones in the center first, then the ones in the western half.
The ones in the southern section are the best defended, so bring that
huge fleet you've been building up just for this occasion.
2: Britain
There are three ruins in total. All three are across the river. To
begin, move all of your units across the river. Do this as quickly as
possible. Once there move all your units except for priests and
transports away from your landing site. Try to convert a villager and
build some method of getting more military units. On the Western side,
expect to run into several priests, catapults, chariots and towers.
Expect more of the same in the center. On the western side, however,
you only have to worry about axe men and a few cavalry, unless you gave
the red army time to cover them. Then, expect still more of the same.
3: Alesia
Like the hints say, complete your fortress as soon as possible.
Build about 15 villagers and set them to work building towers. The
armies on either side of you are in the far corners. The one to the
west is harmless for a great length of time. The army in the east has
archers and long swordmen. Don't forget about siegecraft and archers.
They can fire through the walls. The armies on the inside of the
fortress only have two catapults, but multiple horseback archers. The
actual enemy hero is in a fortification of small walls with four
mounted archers. Balistae anyone?
4: Caesar vs. Pompey
Don't waste time looking for a hero named Pompey. There are two ways
to win this scenario: (1) build a massive army and fight your way
through a city and dozens of towers, taking heavy casualties such that
the victory is so hollow it is almost worthless, or (2) build some
transport ships and float merrily across the river. Bringing with you
of course, enough siege equipment to level Washington D.C., siege
equipment that you built in the safety of a fortress surrounded by
towers. The choice is yours. One point of interest though, using the
cheat E=MC2 TROOPER, you can level the city from the comfort of your
own town center.
3.EXPANSION III PAX ROMANA
1. Actium
You will fall under attack immediately from Antony's short swordmen.
Dispatch of them quickly and save your remaining troops for an assault
on his base. You will need some catapults for the towers, but
everything else in his possession are short swordmen. As for Egypt,
expect chariot archers, barracks units and catapults. Cleopatra's navy
consists of five triremes, five juggernaughts, seven archers and the
barge itself. Interestingly, the ships only attack when attacked or
when a ship draws near, so it is possibly to destroy the fleet ship by
ship.
2. The Year of Four Emperors
First, attack the brown civilization, just north of the red wonder.
They only have villagers, so they should go down quickly. Next, build
several towers around the shallows to either side of both wonders. If
the red civilization attacks, it will be with academy units and short
swordmen. Most importantly though, make sure the second blue wonder is
in the middle of the four flags. I have made the mistake of placing it
between the wrong two many times.
3. Ctesiphon
First of all, head straight south, you will run into some villagers
with houses and a granary (the granary is right after you cross the
bridge). If you can, try to get some of your caravan's escort troops
to rendezvous with your other army. There are three artifacts in
total, one on the cliff overlooking your village, one where your
caravan was ambushed and one in the northern corner of the map. As
soon as you find one, give a protective escort and bring it to the
orange city in the eastern corner of the map.
4. Queen Zenobia
The main threat to your northern Town Centers is to the north.
Quickly train villagers at all your town centers and research axemen.
Build a Barracks at each of your northern Town Centers, and attack the
northern Civilization. The Zenobian's main defense is towers, so bring
siege equipment. Also prepare for a strong armada, however. Make sure
to bring some infantry and archers as well.
5. Coming of the Huns
Pay tribute whenever it is demanded, until you have built enough of a
defensive army to repel a large invasion. You will have some time
before any of the Huns' allies attack you, so make the most of it.
When you do attack the Huns, they will have balistae, heavy horse
archers, academy units, broad swordmen, composite bowmen and armored
elephants. Bring some strong infantry and archers. Good Luck!
4: EXPANSION IV EMEMIES OF ROME
1: Crossing the Alps
Looking for the Scouts? On the map, there will be two yellow areas
you can see to begin with. One of them is an area where your 'scouts'
(villagers) are being held. You can order them to attack the walls
without fear, because the town will be bracing for your attack. When
they get out, build a storage pit and some towers around it, then start
collecting wood and gold. (In case you're wondering why, it's so you
can create priests later to heal your troops.)
When you start moving, run right past the first tower. Do NOT go
between the flags, it is just a waste of time. Instead, follow the
road along the cliffs. You will see the cliffs to your south cease
going east and start going south. Follow them south until you run into
a pair of canyons. Take the second canyon you run into (following
these instructions will bypass the first village completely)
If you have the aforementioned priests ready, march on to the second
town with no fear, otherwise, hang out in the canyon for a while. When
you are ready to move through, you should have at least three priests
first, you will have to break through a series of walls, preferably
with NON-armored elephants. (If I get one comment from someone in the
Commonwealth of Britain over the word 'armor' I will just remind you
that our currency AND dialect of English are better over here) Have the
priests heal your troops once you pass through, or have them convert
units. Then just pass through the flags. (Wow, that one's involved)
2: Third Greek War
First, you'll have to move your camp up the river, across the
shallows to the north before building your Town Center. 'Careful'
exploration will reveal the fact that the main enemy's base is about
three inches from your starting location (and interestingly, the best
place to begin your assault). Speaking of assaults, you will need
massive amounts of siege weapons and *quick* melee troops to combat the
academy units, siege equipment and towers protecting the Government
Center. The Government center is to the northwest of the Town Center,
which is south of your starting location.
3: Spartacus
Research writing early on. If you do, you will notice several scythe
chariots, scouts and horse archers (those foolish Romans, teaching
their slaves to use scythe chariots and be horse archers. Tsk, Tsk,
Tsk.) attacking the town. Don't worry about them until you honestly
think you can defeat them. If too much of Italy (the yellow
civilization) is being destroyed, build some towers around on of the
many town centers or storage pits and protect at least one villager.
Aside from the charioteers, horse archers and scouts, your main threats
when attacking will be MASSIVE amounts of both siege weapons and
armored elephants.
4: Odenathus vs. Persians
First, build additional towers around your two outposts. There are
actually two Persian camps, one in the northern corner, one in the
eastern corner, and several archers protecting the land between. The
northern camp has only a few towers, archers, houses and the Persian
temple. The eastern has most of the troop training facilities, so
build a massive force before attempting to defeat it. Most of the
Persian defenses are siege weapons, academy units and swordmen.

7: FAQ
Q: The Cheats aren't working for me. What's wrong?
A: First, the cheats won't work in a multiplayer game, only single
player. Second, the ZEUS cheat does not work on the gold edition, and
it doesn't effect cheat units. Next, if you have the demo (trial)
version, there are other cheats for some effects. Finally, see if your
cheat is being displayed as a chat message. If it is, you entered it
wrong.
Q: I used a cheat to create a unit, but it didn't appear. What
happened?
A: It should appear next to your town center. If it didn't, see if you
have another town center. Sorry, you can't pick which one it will
appear at, and it won't work if you don't have a town center.
Q: My computer slows down whenever I move my army. I checked the
system requirements and it meets them. What's wrong?
A: First, this can happen if you use the NO FOG cheat in conjunction
with REVEAL MAP. If you didn't cheat, then the fact of the matter is
that (a) your town(s) is(are) too big, or (b) your army is so big that
it stresses your video drivers. If worse comes to worse, you'll just
have to cut down on the size of your army (or city) or just deal with
it. You could also do a full install and set the speed to slow. Sad,
but true.
