| - Since the only way to gather the required gold is through trade, a strong navy is essential. There is plenty of Wood near the base, and an island at the eastern edge of the map has Stone Mines. Farm, hunt and fish until there's enough Food to reach the next Age, and start building the wonder. Don't waste time attacking the red base to the west; they're well fortified, and the player doesn't need to defeat them to win. To destroy the red base to the west and then mining the gold there (so as to end the game even faster), building a moderate size navy would suffice. Destroying the red base instead of trading for gold also has another advantage, which is not having to keep watching out for attacks from them and no need to build an army for protection. The disadvantage is that the player will have to be very fast in building up the navy at the start of the game, or their base may be easily overrun. Upgrade to War Galley and build at least six or more of them, build a Light Transport and prepare two villagers. Ferry the villagers to the small island beside the red base for the purpose of repairing the War Galleys. Escort them with the War Galleys. Use the War Galleys to take out all the enemy ships, watchtowers and then finally the docks. Docks are last because watchtowers and enemy ships can attack the player's ships, but docks can't. Although they can produce enemy ships, there will be a short delay. Be sure to take out all the enemy repairmen or the attacks will be in vain. Constantly check and send the damaged ships for repair at the nearby island where the two villagers are, so as to minimize losses. While attacking, prepare a couple of spare War Galleys to replace any casualties. There's only a couple of priests and stone throwers, so be sure to take them out as quickly as possible. After all the watchtowers and docks are destroyed, the rest are swift and easy pickings.
