The main problem you will encounter here is the lack of farmland. So, make sure that you use every inch available. Don't bother with Vegetables, as they take longer to grow than wheat. Build 2 olive farms and 4 oil workshops and start trading oil and weapons from an early stage.

All the trade here is seaborne, and you therefore need to build 2 docks, with the warehouses behind them, to ensure maximum trading efficiency. This, of course, goes for all scenarios where you are trading by sea.

The attacks are easy to deal with and you don't need to bother getting a full army going - 1 cohort each of legionaries, javelins and cavalry should be more than enough.

Well, that just about concludes Syracusae. If you want to see what the finished article might look like, then click here to get the saved game. Alternatively, if you're finished here, then let's all move on to Mediolanum!
