Good day forum-goers,

I was hoping to get some advice on beating the third introductory mission of the Realms of the Worlds quest pack, I.E the Hideout. That massive wave of Berserkers just annihilates me.

My civs are level 40. Any Civ-specific advice would be nice, I’m struggling the most with my favorite faction (the Celts) and my least favorite faction (Egypt). I’d like to beat it with all six obviously, but if I can beat it with these two I suspect the other four won’t be as difficult.

I’ve built a few layers of walls with towers on the ridge, but the towers don’t have the DPS to take the Berserkers down before they break through. I’ve tried aggressive defense with units, even pushed across the ravine to destroy the fort, and that wasn’t enough. What am I missing? I’ve never struggled this much with a mission.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this. I appreciate it.

Check out this vid. You don't need walls and towers, just a few units for defense and focus on your eco, boom and move out. You can be age 4 max or close to max pop when the beserkers attack.
 
Thank you for that video! It’s very informative. I will be trying out a similar strategy when I get off work tonight.
