Overview

The Triple Alliance begins with four Eagle Warriors that must deliver summons to Tlacopan and Texcoco. After the Villagers arrive, destroy Tlaxcala’s four Town Centers and prepare for the allies’ later betrayal.

Plan and execution

Keep the four Eagles together while they deliver the messages, since losing all of them before completion causes defeat. Use the Transport Ship to land Villagers east of Texcoco and build a base that draws Tlaxcalan pressure toward the other towns. Secure the three Relics near Texcoco with Eagle guards, then build a Castle Age army and siege to destroy the four Tlaxcalan Town Centers. Regroup before the betrayal and attack the former allies from a prepared position.

Risks and adaptation

Imperial Age is unavailable. Protect the relic guards and do not trigger the final betrayal before enough production and siege are ready.
