Focus on reaching the Heroic Age to unlock powerful siege units like Catapults or Siege Towers (depending on your chosen Minor Gods). Build multiple Barracks, Stables, and Archery Ranges to produce a diverse army. Research all military and economic upgrades. You'll need a large force of human units to protect your siege engines. Use God Powers like 'Meteor' or 'Earthquake' to soften up enemy defenses or destroy key buildings. Be prepared for counter-attacks from the enemy, who will likely send out units to destroy your siege weapons. Establishing forward bases or watchtowers can help maintain map control and provide early warning of enemy movements. This mission is a test of your ability to manage a large-scale assault.
