The Booster Packs

AoEO comes with four booster packs:

  1. Skirmish.
  2. Elite Meet at Crete.
  3. Fertile Crescent.
  4. Northern Hold.
Once loaded, these booster packs are available from all of your civs, being represented by specific regions on your map, which you visit to play the quests relevant to each pack.

Not only do the booster packs contain fun quests in their own right, but they can be useful in levelling up all of your civs, either by providing useful consumables and advisors, or by allowing you access to quests which are rich in XP.

I'll go through each of these, in no partiucular order.

The Skirmish Hall, centre of the map, is found on Cyprus

The Bandit Leaders

The Bandit Leaders is an example of what is known in AoEO as a Global Quest.  This means that you complete it by doing other quests and accumulating whatever the objective is asking of you.  These are found frequently throughout all the civs and booster packs.

An example in the Greek civ is one which counts the wolves you have killed.  An equivalent with the Eggies is one which counts elephants killed.

In the case of The Bandit Leaders, you have to kill the three bandit chieftains:  Draco, Clutus and Homer, by completing three separate quests:

  1. Draco's Legion
  2. Clitus Attacks
  3. Homer Run.
