Overview

The Right Partner is a diplomatic objective: impress all four Beja Tribes and defeat either Nobatia or the Ikshids to gain the other faction’s support. Fulfill requests in an order that protects your Relic income.

Plan and execution

Scout each tribe and note its request before committing resources. Build the requested Watch Towers for the southwest village, and collect Relics for Aydhab while keeping any not yet needed in your own Monastery to generate gold. Secure trade and complete the remaining village agreements, then choose the weaker of Nobatia or the Ikshids as the first military target. Use the resulting ally to finish the final diplomatic objective.

Risks and adaptation

Some requests can wait while the Raiders remain allied, so avoid rushing unnecessary construction. Relics may serve both as income and as a diplomatic requirement; track where each one is garrisoned before turning in the final request.
