Quest Giver Dialog[]

Tarsos Trader
Alright, listen here. This is the last group of Babylonians you need to take care of. Do you know Bahram? That big guy from a little up the street. He's been hiring more and more mercenaries and he tells me that he's almost ready to take out every single Babylonian in Tarsos and the nearby areas. Before he does that, however, I need you to secure this last location for us. Bahram will be pleased, and so will everyone else in Tarsos.
Tarsos Trader
Time and tide wait for no man. Those Babylonians won't, either.
Tarsos Trader
Nicely done! The Babylonians are gone from these lands, at least for now.

Trivia[]

Now, Opis has 2 rendezvous points where you can get some gaia Catapults and Royal Guards. One to the extreme south and the other in extreme east of the map. These reinforcements might mean the ones Bahram was hiring and Tarsos Trader mentioned.

No more infinite respawn from a spot, now the enemy has an economy.

Description[]

Starting in the Westhern-most corner at Age 3, you need to carve your way in Opis with 1k initial resources. It's very tight for caravan trading but you have to do it.

A total of 5 General Archer units may be trained at the fortress starting in age 4. They are somehow good at taking towers and ships.

From about the 10 minute mark onward, expect a Never-Ending trickle of enemy troops (they come from a Spiral near a treasure guard camp).

Most things you are about to destroy in your way are only decoration buildings, apart from a TC, some Gardens, Towers and Walls. You should build a lot of towers near the Spiral spawning point so you can soften the enemy reinforcements.

Beware enemy Lancers, Chariots, infantry and Priests.

Focus on your objectives.

Quest Giver Quotes[]

Tarsos Trader
With Asia Minor under his rule, Cyrus now turns his attention to conquering the ancient Babylon Empire, the last major power in western Asia that is not yet under Persian control.\nRather than besiege the heavily defended capital city of Babylon, the nearby City of Opis stands where the Silk Road crosses the Tigris River.\nIf we can control Opis, we can control all of Babylon.
Tarsos Trader
If we control Opis, we will starve the Babylonians into submission.
Tarsos Trader
With Opis under Persian rule, the City of Babylon throws open is gates and heralds Cyrus the Great as its King. Not only does Cyrus control the entire region, but he has destroyed the entire Babylonian Empire.
