The Mysterious Cities of Gold

Attack of the Olmecs

 
[ESTEBAN,OLMECS,MAYAS,SPANISH]

 

   After discovering the three ruined cities, Esteban and his friends have escaped the Olmec's base, called the Burning Shield, and have been welcomed in the maya village of th New Sun. Unfortunately the Olmecs took the opportunity for locating the village and are going to attack. The other maya villages fear for the moment the power of these odd Olmecs...

   This scenario has been made to play with Esteban and his friends. It's also possible to embody Olmecs,Mayas and Spanish but the game will be lightly different because the computer won't be able to assume Esteban's role. The 3 other civilizations (keepers, mayas_2 et mayas_3) must be controled by the computer.

You will find below very useful advices concernig every civilizations you can embody. I advise you to read the part which concerns you before any game.


Esteban and his friends

Difficulty : ****

   At the beginning, you own only 7 units : the 3 children Kukapelt, Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro. You have to be very careful with them because you won't be able to build other ones !
   First, you have to help the mayas to defend the village, Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro can fight, the children must go and take the Great Condor which is still at the first ruined city and which could make Olmecs flee.
   Then you have to help the mayas counter-attacking and destroying the Ollmec base. Attention it's full of traps but maybe you can use your ingeniousness...
   Last but not least, find the city of gold and open the door (with Esteban); be careful with the Olmecs and the Spanish who are looking for it too.

Olmecs

Difficulty : ***

   You have got many units at the beginning, but be careful because you can't build other ones ! Guards are stronger than soldiers (mainly in defense) but the soldiers move faster.
   First destroy the New Sun village and then the other mayas if there is a general uprising.
   Meanwhile, look for young cells (Myena, Esteban, Zia, Tao) which, thanks to scientific researches that you will proceed, will allow you to stop the ageing of the specie.
   Last you have to capture the Great Legacy which is in he city of gold and bring it to the Generator (the city).

Mayas

Difficulty : *****

   You must defend the New Sun village at any price. Once you have resisted the attack of the Olmecs you'll have to try to penetrate (with the help of the other mayas) into their base and destroy it. Be careful that the Olmecs doesn't capture the Great Legacy.
   Last try to preserve the following special units : Papa Camaillo, Wynacocha and Myena.
(score)


Spanish

Difficulté : ****

   Spanish's aim is to collect as most gold as possible (that's why they're looking for the cities of gold). In that way, in the east you have to explore and you may find some treasures or lost cities.
   However to plunder more gold you'll have to attack the city of gold which won't be a very easy task. Indeed, Gaspar and Gomez are isolated and only Esteban is able to open the door of the city of gold.
   You can also try to free Fernando and Marinche who have been jailed by the Olmecs (you'll have to penetrate into their base first).
