Assault pirate bases and destroy Ottoman strongholds in Age of Empires III Part 7. Protect Aztec Temples and customize your Home City.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Assault the remains of the pirates' base. Use mortars to attack their gate and outpost.
  2. 2
    Once few or no units are visible in the revealed circle, run your army through the ruined gate and attack buildings. Use mortars to destroy towers and barracks, then clear the rest.
  3. 3
    Pick up the third and last navigation chart from the pirates' main island.
  4. 4
    The Ottoman Fort: Find and destroy the Ottoman Command Post and Town Center.
  5. 5
    Explore the surrounding area and discover sites for trading posts. Plant your town center at the north end of the beach.
  6. 6
    Send a shipment from your Home City (settlers and food recommended).
  7. 7
    Find and ally with at least two local natives. Build a trading post in the village to the south and another to the west.
  8. 8
    Research everything from the Caribbean and Mayan trading posts. Consider the Native American Lore card from the Home City before buying upgrades.
  9. 9
    Explore further and find treasure items to the north and south-east.
  10. 10
    Destroy the Ottoman Fishing Dock (500 XP) with your flagship.
  11. 11
    Advance to the Fortress Age. Sergeant At Arms is recommended as this is not a naval level.
  12. 12
    Explore further south to find another village and two more treasure items.
  13. 13
    Take and defend the third village trading post. Train a decent-sized army and consider getting a wagon from the Home City to establish a second town there.
  14. 14
    Time your relocation to coincide with the Ottomans' attempt to go for the southern silver mine.
  15. 15
    Buy upgrades from the Aztec trading post.
  16. 16
    To attack the Ottoman outpost, either take out the two towers and the gate with mortars and charge in, or go around west, past the southern tower, and find a mosque in the north corner of their base.
  17. 17
    Temples of the Aztec: Protect the Aztec Temples. Build a trading post at the Aztec Village.
  18. 18
    Send your units east to free the first lot of eagle warriors, who will reveal the locations of other prisoners.
  19. 19
    Build a trading post in the village. Head north-west to the first lot of prisoners, picking up treasure and destroying reds and barracks.
  20. 20
    Research upgrades from the trading post before building more Native warriors.
