• Third Mission

Whereas in the previous mission time was of essence, here you can take your time to get your economy working and outproduce your enemy.

First, go northwest with your army to reclaim a treasure and then destroy the tower to gain access to the docks. In the meantime, keep building villagers, upgrade the trade route and set it to produce wood. Build a market and research all items. Use your shipments on villagers at first, then some musketeers. Use wood to build fishing ships from the docks. Remember to research the fishing upgrades as well.

Have your villagers work mostly on berries and mines, so that you can get to third age. Age up with the Golden Pavilion. You'll be attacked, but you can take them out rather easily. Use Kichiro's 7 spears special attack to take out flaming arrows swiftly, so you won't lose much infantry. Produce musketeers and samurai - muskets deal with pretty much everything once they're massed and samurai demolish the buildings with ease. Once in 3rd age, upgrade both your muskets and samurai and go attack the trading post - it won't be long until it's down. Once you have the area secured, have some villagers build a couple of castles and barracks to establish your presence at that trading post. Set it to produce a resource you'll require - wood is a good choice, since you can then keep your villagers on food and gold.

If you've been building villagers non-stop, you should have the resources to go up pretty soon. Don't stop building military either, but your economy will be very strong and you should be able to afford it. Shogunate is a good choice for going up. Upgrade your musketeers and samurai and get ready to attack the last trading post - don't forget the upgrades at the Golden Pavilion! Keep a bunch of musketeers ready at the middle trading post, since the enemy will attack there too. There will be some pieces of artillery, but with your samurai you'll cut through the walls easily. Bring some villagers up there too, so you can build more barracks and castles to support your troops - they will help you to keep the trading posts standing. The enemy has some flaming arrow artillery, but doesn't guard them properly against attacks, so you can take them out with relative ease - don't forget about Kichiro's special ability.
