Broken Spears

Broken Spears is the final scenario in Montezuma campaign in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.

In this scenario the player must guard Tenochtitlan, and the city is very large with many buildings. To win, the player must finish off the Tlaxcalans and two Spanish forces (the Navy is Blue and the Army is Purple). The Tlaxcalans are located south, the Spanish Army is located east and the Spanish Navy is located west. Somewhere North, the player get massive ships from the Gods. The bridge leading to the Spanish Navy is destroyed to slow their advance, so rhe player will need transports.

Due to a simplicity in the programmed AI-code, both "Cortez Navy" and "Cortez Army" will immediately resign when their Town Center is lost. This could make for a funny effect since they can have several castles, many villagers and lots of troops on the map, but still delete all of them, one by one, after they have lost their Town Center. The purple player is extremely vulnerable to this, since his Town Center is right behind his Gate. Sneaking up a group of fully upgraded Jaguar Warriors tasked to raze the Town Center can eliminate him.

However, Player Red (The Tlaxcalans) will not resign when their Town Center is gone. They must be sieged and distrupted, which will be easier if the player take over the other player's stockpiles of gold. The Tlaxcalans will eventually run out of their own gold, since they are stuck to a small peninsula without any hope of getting additional resources.

On the northern part of the map there are additional gold mines.
