  • How to unlock Do or Do Not…

    Once you hit level 34, head back to Argos if you're not already there and you'll notice the gate guard has a new repeatable quest (Left with No Choice). Yet another quest where you have to decimate the followers of Autolycus and have their women bow at your feet. Make sure you have premium content with the civilization you're playing when you complete this quest (yet again, repeatable so just do it twice if you're not premium yet).

    You should be well versed in the usual Argos map setup of multiple small-medium sized islands... usually all but one being occupied by the enemy. This quest is no different, thus I recommend starting off by walling along the edges of your wall. But, sadly, the wall mechanics (especially this map for some reason) are AWFUL in this game so putting walls right up against the coast can backfire. What seems to work best for this map, with the elite siege engines and many elite ships setting this apart from similar Argos quests, is to wall along the edges of your island except for one strip where you will leave a beach for them to land on. Sound stupid? Sure, the computer will think so until it sees all the towers you have watching that one beach. This is best done on the side of your island facing the edge of the map and place towers on the outermost edge of your island to destroy ships as they follow the coastline to the beach. Towers destroy ships, Elite or not, so funnel the ships and the landing parties as much as possible. Use this time to build your army and be sure to spread it out over multiple transports (more than you really need in my opinion) and take the enemy out island by island, then work on the boats after destroying the docks (unless your build is Navy oriented, then by all means take out the ships to clear a safe path, fire ships work great but I didn't have them).

    As you prepare to clear out the islands, make sure your force is ready to deal with ballistas, which are the only real problem once you go on the assault (and an even bigger problem if they break your defenses).
