Can you storm the Walls of Troy without a wooden horse? Dig tunnels and train archers. Stockpile food for a long siege or risk it all in one decisive battle. Attack with infantry or shell out some gold to get war elefants from distant Carthage. Play in mythology mode and enlist centaurs, build a temple for Artemis, and hope for lightning (or worse) to strike Hector. Or play in history mode and hire Egyptian mercenaries or Persian cavalry.
