Tips For THE ANCIENT ART OF WAR
|

|
|
The hardest part of THE ANCIENT ART OF WAR is overtaking
|
||
|
|
an enemy fort. Whoever is in the fort has a distinct advantage
|
||
|
|
over the attacker. But with this small tip, you can take over
|
||
|
|
enemy forts easily.
|
||
|
|
I figured this out when I attacked an enemy fort on all
|
||
|
|
sides. I attacked with three armies, and there were only two
|
||
|
|
in the fort. The two of my armies took their stance against
|
||
|
|
the enemy, waiting for my command. The third just waltzed into
|
||
|
|
the fort, unchallenged.
|
||
|
|
This must have been overlooked by the programmers of the
|
||
|
|
game. The strategy is simple. First, put the FIGHT DELAY
|
||
|
|
option on long. (This means you army will wait along time to
|
||
|
|
fight with your command before it decides to fight on its own.)
|
||
|
|
Then target the fort you want to attack. Detach armies of
|
||
|
|
three archers in good condition for every army in the enemy
|
||
|
|
fort. (If there are too few or they are too weak, they will be
|
||
|
|
captured.) Then construct an army or two, depending on the
|
||
|
|
enemies strength, that consists of the right kind of soldier to
|
||
|
|
fight that group. (Barbarians to fight archers, etc.) Make
|
||
|
|
sure that their in the proper formation.
|
||
|
|
Then move all your armies to just outside the enemy fort.
|
||
|
|
Attack it with all your three-archer armies first. Make sure
|
||
|
|
all the enemy armies are occupied, and then move your main
|
||
|
|
armies in. Once they are in place, ZOOM in on your
|
||
|
|
three-archer armies, and then ZOOM in on your main armies.
|
||
|
|
(Assuming the three archers didn't wipe them out.) The latter
|
||
|
|
fight will be easy, because even if you attack an army with one
|
||
|
|
lousy soldier, it will be weakened.
|
||
|
|
This trick has never failed me. With it I have beaten the
|
||
|
|
Islands of Doom scenario against Sun-Tzu. The only problem now
|
||
|
|
is that the game is really boring.
|
||
|
|
By the way, if you win a tournament or something with this
|
||
|
|
trick, I wouldn't get angry if you wanted to send me money or
|
||
|
|
something at P.O. Box 398, Derby, CT. 06418. And if you
|
||
|
|
distribute this, I would appreciate it if you distributed the
|
||
|
|
address with it. Just thought you might like to know :-}
