Part 6

Head back to the cave entrance and go inside.

Advance north to find two caches.

Go east for another two caches.

Go south-east for the last three caches, guarded by a second red town centre and stationary units. Use your bombard and legions to defeat them.

Do not destroy the caches yet. Head farther south to find a mosque that can be destroyed for 500 XP.

Defeat the red ships guarding their dock, using mortars and your bombard.

Killing off the last three caches opens a new route through the caves and grants victory.

Move your wagon between the tapirs and the silver.

Build your town centre south of the trees, away from the beaches. Ensure the St. Elmo flagship is not attacked.

Build a barracks and a dock.

While combat units clear enemies from the island, including jaguars in the west, a peasant can retrieve a tame jaguar named Janey.

Collect crates on the beach and destroy a red house on the southern cliffs for more resources.

Build your base and place your dock at the top of the east coast.

Repair and keep Morgan's flagship by right-clicking it on the dock.

Build all seven towers at extreme points along the coast, including the westernmost point overlooking the small island, the long beach at the west (where another dock will be built later), and two overlooking the southern bay.

Upgrade towers fully when affordable.

Once the barracks and dock are built, a marked area to the south-east will appear for the objective to find and collect three navigation charts.

A free ship from Malta will arrive soon after building the dock and barracks, and more free ships will arrive occasionally, sometimes dropping free land units on the beach.

Defend against pirate ships from the west using towers and free ships.

Send ships south-east to scout the area for the next objective.

Take out buccaneers from the water.

Advance to the Fortress Age when resources allow (Admiral of the Ocean Sea was chosen for the caravel and wood).

Put all combat units and a peasant on one of your caravels and go to the north of the two little islands to get the first navigation chart.

Collect two treasure items on these islands; one triggers another objective.

Send everyone to the neighboring island, clear it of Native Americans, outlaws, and jaguars, and collect three treasure items.

Return to your main island with everyone on the caravel.

Wait for six or seven free ships.

Send the ships north to kill treasure guardians and peasants on the tiny island at the edge of the map.

Send ships south to the tip of the big island and destroy the two docks (one is to the west). Park your ships here to prevent pirates from building new docks.

Build an army of over fifty strong, including three or four mortars, a couple of priests, hoop throwers, crossbowmen, and lancers.

Send the army on caravels to the beach at the bottom of the pirates' island.

Pick up treasure to the west and the second covered wagon.

Build one or two unit production buildings.

Check the beach for any new land units dropped by free ships.

Launch a quick attack on pirates to the north-east to recover the second chart.

Build one of each building on the new island if not confident in defeating pirates with the current army.

Build up a decent army.
