Overview

The Falcon’s Tent attacks both the southern and eastern camps. Start two economies at once, secure the eastern crossing with a Castle, and gather Llamas and Relics before the enemy wave grows.

Plan and execution

Assign builders in both camps to Houses, Town Centers, and Settlements, then expand Villager production. Put several eastern workers on stone and use the Inca discount to build a Castle at the crossing by Abancay. Add defenses to the southern camp against Andahuaylas and scout for Llamas and the neutral Monastery. Donate the requested Villagers to recruit its Priests only after both bases can spare them.

Risks and adaptation

The two fronts can be attacked simultaneously, so do not send all defenders to the crossing. Villagers given to the Monastery are unavailable for the economy; protect both Town Centers before completing that request.
