Montezuma 3 - Quetzalcoatl + Achievement (Hard) | Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition

So, for the achievement, it's really hard for the first few minutes, but once you've practically eliminated all of their Cannon Galleons, it's simple Right away, send all of your villagers to Tabasco. Build a Monastery, a Dock, and whatever else you need. You can mine gold, gather berries, and cut trees. Just give the villagers something to do after all the buildings are constructed. Then, get ready for the Cannon Galleon rush. I think there are five of them? Try to convert at least one of them, and if you can get more, that's great!  The problem is, they will usually immediately one-shot your Monk when you try to convert them. I think the best way to deal with them is to bait their aggro with a Fire Ship first. Then, get your Monk close enough so they can't target your Monk right away and try to convert them.  Another problem is that when you're busy trying to convert some of their Cannon Galleons, the rest of them might hit the hell out of the Tabasco Town Center. If that Town Center goes down, so does your achievement. It is absolutely hellish for the first five to six minutes.  If you survive? Congrats! Now the game is relatively easy. I highly recommend building a Castle right near Tabasco to protect them from the Tlaxcala. Once that is done, it is just your usual routine of building an army and mowing the enemy down.  Against Cortéz, it's time to showcase those Spanish Cannon Galleons that you converted, baby! From the river, you can safely take down his Castle on the south side. Then, move to the north and you can snipe their Town Center from there, plus some military production buildings and even their Monastery. Just be very careful not to get your Cannon Galleons converted back though!  You definitely could clear this scenario much quicker. For some reason, I just have a terrible time trying to protect the horses. The horse pathing is just atrocious and they might get stuck somewhere, or the enemy will somehow prioritize targeting the horses or whatever. I just have terrible luck with them. But your experience may vary. Good luck, guys!  💡 Tip of the day: Don't forget that you can garrison your units inside your ally's Town Center! Since we are sending our starting villagers to Tabasco completely unprotected right away, they are highly vulnerable to early raids. If an enemy wave catches them off guard, instantly garrison your villagers inside your ally's Town Center to protect them!  🇮🇩 Short, heavily edited videos are coming soon in Bahasa Indonesia on the main channel. Stay tuned. ‪@Kais-RTS‬ Timestamp 00:00 Intro 01:38 Objectives 01:44 Full Run 28:39 Outro
