The Fall of the Trident is a pivotal campaign mission that tests your ability to manage resources and defend against overwhelming odds. Early in the mission, focus on establishing a robust economy. Prioritize gathering food and gold, as these will be crucial for training the necessary military units and upgrading your technologies. Ensure your villagers are consistently working and protected. As you advance, you'll need to secure key locations on the map. These often involve clearing out enemy encampments and establishing forward bases. Be mindful of the unique enemy units you encounter; some may require specific counters. For instance, if you face a large number of powerful mythological units, consider investing in your own powerful mythological units or units with anti-mythological bonuses. Pay close attention to the objectives provided; deviating from them can lead to unnecessary losses and prolonged engagements. The mission often culminates in a large-scale assault or defense, so ensure your army composition is balanced and your upgrades are up-to-date before committing to the final push or holding the line.
