Here you will have no villagers for quite some time, and you are playing against time because the enemy starts building a wonder. Time should just be sufficient, but remember save often and use the pause key to give you time to think. | Here you will have no villagers for quite some time, and you are playing against time because the enemy starts building a wonder.

When you have the 5 trebuchets, load them into the transport ship (just one is enough but doesn't harm if you have two still), add a few good units into it (like maybe the skirmishers, the Conquistador and Jaguar Warriors) and save your game before you start your Kamikaze attack. Then try to be lucky and find your way over the ocean to the harbor where you found the transport ships without encountering enemy ships that might sink you (i.e. if you loose the ship with the trebuchets, reload). Disembark, use your soldiers to distract enemy units from your trebuchets, while they move down towards the wonder and attack it. They will be attacked by a catapult that might destroy one or two trebuchets, but your forces should last just long enough to bring down the wonder. They will inevitably perish afterwards, but just a few seconds later, Cortez will give up and you have won. | When you have the 5 trebuchets, load them into the transport ship (just one is enough but doesn't harm if you have two still), add a few good units into it (like maybe the skirmishers, the Conquistador and Jaguar Warriors) and save your game before you start your Kamikaze attack.

=== Fast solution === | |||
You have only two things to achieve to win this mission: free the warriors in Tlaxeala (red) and destroy the Spanish (blue) Wonder. | |||
A bit West of your starting position, you'll discover Eagle Warriors and a Monk (or only one Eagle Warrior in Difficult mode). Take the Eagle Warrior(s) and follow the edge of the map as close as possible to the West. You should pass the guards without them noticing you and get on a Transport Ship. | |||
Follow the edge of the map to the West again and disembark as close as possible to the edge of the map. You'll encounter 2 Spanish Conquistadores, but if you stay close to the edge, they should not attack you. | |||
In the western corner of the map, there is a Tlaxeala Monk and a pen containing jaguars. Destroy a part of the fence to let them out and they'll eat the Monk. | |||
Head north and you'll encounter an Onager. Quickly order it to go South and change his attack mode to ''Stand Gound''. | |||
There are a group of 6 Tlaxeala Jaguar Warriors more North, pass them quickly and continue North. They should cease the pursuit quickly. | |||
Head to the prisoners' pen North and deliver them. You do not need to break the Wooden Fence. This will attract the other Tlaxeala soldiers, including those guarding the southern bridges. | |||
Go back to the Onager with your Eagle Warriors (be careful to avoid the Jaguar Warriors) and put them all in ''Line Formation'' and ''Stand Gound''. | |||
The only thing you have to do now is to click on the Wonder to attack it. The Onager and the Eagle Warriors should pass the Tlaxeala Castle without being fired at and the Eagle Warriors will take the shots of the Conquered Aztec (yellow) Towers and protect the Onager. | |||
The Wonder will eventually be destroyed, making you win the mission. | |||

* Attacking the Conquered Aztecs buildings and troops or the Spanish troops will immediately alert the Spanish troops that will attack. Attacking the Wonder will not trigger anything though. | |||
