Solo Legendary Quests

Have you tried the legendary Renegades in Cyprus? That is very easy legendary quest where all you have to do is spam spearmen (for the optional quest).

 

Which 2 can you solo, and with what civ?

Also, what's you play style? i.e. Do you like high eco maps where you can boom like crazy, or maps where you actually need defenses in the beginning?

 

The new oasis legendary quest is a good one to do as well. Very high rewards too.

 

Classic legendaries are probably the easiest to solo (except for Soloi): Paphos, Marion, Cataclysm etc. Building good eco fast applies to all quests and is like 90% the reason for success; focus on improving that. Other than that, check out youtube for quest-specific strategies. For example, in cataclysm you need to kill enemy docks asap and you won't have to fight a single ship. In paphos be ready to deal with a ram attacking at min 8, otherwise it can wipe off your whole base.

 

If you are a turtler, you'll struggle more with leg quests. You need to attack fast, the longer you wait the stronger they become, whereas if you attack fast, they have way less units and you kill them easy.

 

Mad Median is pretty good I think. The timer is generous, the rewards great, you start in Age 3 with 1k resources each, and there's only 1 entrance. There's a large space to set up your caravan lines. The early attacks are pretty tame too, compared to most other legendary except Sais.

P.S. Epic Dumnorix is completely broken, and vital to good booming.

Actually, I have 1 more question: How long did it took you to do the Halloween legendaries?

 

I found with me personally when i attack fast, i always lose. even i prefer to turtle as well.

 

What does "attack fast" mean? I can see it referring to 2 different things:
1. Be efficient/greedy in booming so you reach 180+ pop and 3/3/3 upgrades sooner so you can start attacking faster.
2. Actually attack faster with significantly less units than max pop (like 120 pop).

 

Attack fast as in boom and max fast. Can't go very far with 120 pop in leg quests, given that 100 of them will be vils. Turtling costs you resources: stone, wood and gold for towers, walls and their upgrades and vill time. You're better off investing those resources in your eco so you can boom faster.

 

I would have guessed as well. It's just that "attack fast" as it is stated is very confusing for anyone reading, and they would start doing things like cut villagers/caravans.

 

I will be honest, if it takes you 2 hours to do the Halloween legendaries, then both Marion and Mad Medians are not feasible due to the 1 hour timer.

I do wonder how it takes that long though. When do you make your first push?

 

There are quite a few repeatable lv 40 quests, elite or not. The AI is weaker there, so you'll get a chance to play slow, build your defenses and attack late.

 

I very much agree. Not only that, you can practice getting an efficient build order and hotkey layout down, so that you can be "fast" without being physically fast. I think the biggest eye opener for me was seeing just how many markets/TC (lots) do other players build. That alone got me much better at doing legendaries.

 

I have a dexterity problem, but I find Leg Cata to fit your play style , watch a few Utube vids, knock out the fortress take their base on the right, knock out their docks north and you can take as long as you want ... they only spawn docks in the bay north .. 1 ship can stop them .... max everything out and attack , The Civs like Greek, Persia, Gyps with siege ships are easiest , but even if you don't get the fortress in time you lose a chest or so ....
Breaking Bandits if you get stone a lose a bit is easy ... spam ships and take out their docks (island and mainland)
Even Marion is not so hard if watch a few utube vids...
or build up with elite cyprus or elite rescue me (easiest elite ever )

 

Hi m8,

As eggy:

Defensive build order sounds to me wrong, usually eggy rushes age4 make use of khepri and spam eles.

As Greek / Persia / Babylone:

Priest + Palis can be the answer.
As advisor: (irene age1, dumnorix age2), mehrab age3 and Timo age4

As gear the new craftable staff for ur priests and the new craftable runic for the Palis should help alot. Greetz.

One more thing, u don't like coop, it's fine but coop is good for to find out quest playouts. I mean u can look how others playing out a specific quest, that can give u improvements on ur own gameplay. greetz.
