Sorry about that, I'm just an idiot. Dang number is right there on the cd.

I am trying to run my Gates of Troy cd on a new computer and it wants a serial number that I have no idea of. All I have is the cd plus cover, don't think I have any paperwork. I'm not even sure if I got it from here or Matrix. Is there a way for me to get that serial number? Thank you.

The Dardanians in the Persian and Roman grand campaign are pirates so the elite infantry you're going to get with them are the warriors and veterans. You'll find the units you're looking for in the pre-history campaign.

Choose the Pelasgian Argives in the pre history campaign and build the elite light infantry barracks.

Your allies are just as quick to attack you as anyone else if you come too close to their armies so don't expect a free ride through their territory.

I love cavalry, probably my favorite unit of the game. The period may have been dominated by hoplites but you'll find the AI is very fond of churning out huge armies of light infantry and skirmishers, troops cavalry are very effective against even in small numbers. Don't waste time with citizen cava...

The 300, from what I understand, isn't meant to be a historical movie. If I remember correctly, the trailers contain things which are quite clearly fantasy units. And I don't mean unusual things, such as rhino cavalry. I mean things with fangs, carrying swords. You look at the synopsis of the film ...

Is that enemy diplomats doing that? I thought those were random events.

I know i can do all sorts of nasty things to other nations by way of diplomat. What i am wondering now is if the AI can do the same sort of things?

Is that all? Is there no "feel good" factor to commerce like there is in Medieval Total War? Incidentally, I prefer individual battles in Medieval Total War but as a campaign Spartan is better, since a Total War battle might take an hour to complete and there might be five of them in one ...

Look in your files under 'squads' and you'll see pretty detailed stats.

In all the time i've played this game this is the first time i have seen an enemy AI build the naval architect. Out of sheer dumb luck i took the town they had built it in and out of curiousity saved my campaign and then went back and forth retaking the town to see if i could take the enemies n.a. a...

Most of the heroes are only available in the Trojan war but there are two available in the pre-history campaign, play either Argos or the Pelasgian Argives i believe.

You can change the files and add a hero to a campaign as well, just make sure to make copies the files first.

Ha. I've had some narrow margins of victory but i'd never won a battle despite losing it until now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/alanb/Argos.jpg This happened while taking a city, i had fought 3 sea battles and one land battle with this army on my way to the city so was pretty banged up and...

I've been thinking about modifying the eastern countries, they just can't hang with the greeks. Their archers and cavalry can be deadly but both consume just too many resources apparently even for the AI for them to ever really thrive as nations. It might be overly simplistic but something i've been...

hey ive just got the game and i have a few questions on things: 1: Can you only get achilles in the troy campaign and which campaign could i get him otherwise? 2: Can troy only be fought on the troy campaign with the small map and only the greeks and trojans to choose from? Thanks for reading and a...

So there is something i actually had to do in the game to add them to the build file as able to build the upgraded infantry barracks? If that's the case i did misunderstand since i thought they were simply missing from that file when i added them. I know you have to research the 2nd level copper jus...

I had the same problem with my game and had to go into the game files to add the pelegasians to the list of who can build the upgraded barracks.

Thanks much, after reading your post i went and looked at the spartan charts and it looks like you certainly are right. The Dorians are listed as having access to the theban cavalry on the military production chart but they indeed aren't listed as being able to build the upgraded heavy cavalry barra...
