Overview

Pacanchique’s allegiance determines the mission’s goal in the western borderlands. On Quemuenchatocha’s side, gather the Panche tribes’ Treasure Carts and Relics while protecting them from Nemequene; on Nemequene’s side, eliminate the rival ruler and bring the tribes under control.

Player approach

Borderlands rewards early map control and selective diplomacy. Settling for one or two useful Panche allies can secure vulnerable flanks while freeing resources for the main objective.

Step-by-step plan

Expand before the rival armies box in the starting base, but do not scatter Villagers across every neutral site. Reveal alliance side objectives before committing to them, then support the chosen Panche group long enough for its settlement to survive. Calandaima and Tocaima can anchor broad approaches, while Guacana may be the quicker pact when its position is reachable. Use allied territory to shorten safe routes and pressure nearby enemies, then concentrate your own army on the next objective.

Risks and adjustments

A nominal ally that is left under attack may collapse and cost the time spent supporting it. Check which side objectives are available from the actual starting position, keep builders and reinforcements protected, and avoid trying to win every faction over before securing a durable base.
