Age of Mythology - Tall of the Dragon: 9) Yin and Yang
2The last scenario in the tale of the dragon campaign!
Build up your economy as quickly as possible. We're going for a boom here. You'll want to lay down your gardens, grab those economic upgrades and pump out villagers as much as possible. I'd save the god powers to get better use out of them when the economy is starting to chug along for maximum benefit.
While that's going on, explore your surroundings. There is a whole bunch of towers to the east guarding gold mines, these are perfect to skirmish every now and then. Destroy a tower, then heal, then repeat. You'll want to put effort into this as you'll need a lot of gold later on so it's best to stop danhzu as quickly as possible.
Around the 10-15min mark, you should be building an army. Chu ko nu and halberdiers, along with some immortals, generals and sitting tigers is excellent. Attack Danhzu's camp to the north east, begin by chipping away at the fortifications with the sitting tigers, then once the walls and towers are down you can move in. Best not to engage the army until the walls are down at the least.
Repeat this until Danhzu is utterly annihilated and that's part 1 done.
Grab his settlement and the extra settlement up north and begin pumping up trade. Wall off the western side of your starting camp. You should be in the mythic age soon. Grab all the unit upgrades, all the armory upgrades and all the other ones for towers and buildings.
The path to the west is a spiral that goes to the top of the mountain, littered with a standing army. They won't come to the base but they will attack on sight (though not all the time for some reason). I think it's best to defeat them now and slowly go around as later on if they attack you it will be trouble.
Same army as above, make sure the sitting tigers lag a bit behind to target the towers and walls. Destroy the boulder paths leading up to the summit once you've gained control on both sides. The uproot god power should be used on them as it destroys them in seconds, but they can be destroyed by the enemy so it's best to clear out all enemies first.
Build a forward base on all three levels of the mountain and claim the town center there. Build all the immortals and layer the peak thick with towers and fortresses. Once you destroy the camp at the top, an army of myth units will come from the other three sides (west, north and north east corners) where the other boulder walls are. Some will assault the titan gate and the others will rush to your first base so make sure you are ready.
I'm unsure if it's across all difficulties but Stymphalian birds or phoenixes may attack your villagers and the titan gate. The towers and the immortals are for defence in that regard. If the titan gate gets destroyed, you lose but the game keeps going, which I assume needs to be patched up. Once the titan is built, you win!
