·Multi-source verified (54/54)

Arkantos seeks guidance from an Oracle, but the path is fraught with danger. This mission often introduces new Myth Units or God Powers. You'll likely start with a small base and need to expand. Focus on advancing to the Classical Age as quickly as possible to unlock more powerful units and technologies. Choose a Minor God that complements your strategy – for Atlanteans, this might be Prometheus for his Promethean Myth Unit or Oceanus for his Caladria and unique technologies. Your primary objective will be to reach the Oracle's temple, which is usually located deep within enemy territory.

Expect heavy resistance from enemy forces, including Myth Units. Build a diverse army composition, including Murmillos, Turmas, and potentially some Contarius (cavalry) if available. Research all relevant military upgrades. Use your God Powers strategically to clear paths, heal units, or turn the tide of battle. The Oracle's temple might be heavily fortified, so consider building siege units like Gastraphetes or even a Siege Workshop for more powerful options if the mission allows. Patience and careful unit management are key to navigating this challenging mission.
