Complete Age of Empires III Part 8 walkthrough covering objectives like saving temples and destroying the Spanish Town Center.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start collecting resources from the mine and trees to the east. Build a barracks and max out warriors from the trading post. Move all combat units north-east to the temple.
  2. 2
    Move the covered wagon down north of the little river crossing. Build a mill with your seven peasants. Once settlers are farming, open your town center.
  3. 3
    Ship in military units and resources. Build peasants from the town center.
  4. 4
    Fend off the first major attack from the north-east, destroying the fort wagon before it becomes a fort. Position units east of the north-east temple to block the wagon.
  5. 5
    Keep an eye on the timer while building and upgrading your army. Use Home City shipments to bring in peasants. Build an additional ten peasants.
  6. 6
    Produce crossbowmen and rodeleros from a barracks in the Aztec village. Keep combat units in the middle of the village for quick response.
  7. 7
    Upgrade to the Fortress Age to bring in falconets from your Home City.
  8. 8
    Once the counter reaches 0:00, you receive reinforcements and a new objective. Park units east of the eastern temple.
  9. 9
    Build a foundry and some mortars, and ship another mortar from the Home City.
  10. 10
    Take down one of the Spanish base's two gates. Ranged units can sit south of the eastern gate to mop up Spanish units.
  11. 11
    Use mortars to destroy towers and then attack the Spanish town center with your massive army.
Tips
  • Don't open the wagon yet.
  • Don't go for the treasure north of the map as it's too close to the Spanish base.
  • Head south through the middle of the map and east for prisoners beside the red house.
  • Head south again, over the river, and west for the last group of prisoners. Take out goons, then the tower.
  • The Aztec temples are tough, but the Aztecs aren't great at moving to engage.
  • The Spanish send falconets and heavy cannons occasionally, but large numbers of horses and foot soldiers are more concerning.
  • If Spanish units approach your town center, ring the town bell until your army can support.
  • Use the caravel to target enemies from the water.
  • Rodeleros are fast and don't require wood.
  • Getting into the Fortress Age quickly allows you to bring in falconets.
  • If you save two temples, you get masses of reinforcements.
  • The Aztecs will attack on their own if you take down a Spanish base gate, serving as a decoy.
  • Buy upgrades and heal your units before attacking the Spanish town center.
  • Warning: Save your game before attacking the Spanish base, as a bug may prevent the level from ending if your own town center is under attack when the Spanish one falls.
