Alright, so it's basically a trigger that only works once the first base is taken. I went hours without the wonder rush going up.

Anyway, you can basically just keep to your starter base for the entire game and easily stock up on food/wood/gold. Lumberjack everything around you, and then use the pond directly north of you as a fishery. Even the pathway connecting the two landmasses is maneuverable with ships, so you have plenty of space to use.

One castle right above your TC (beyond the houses and just before the pathway) can take care of any early wave of enemies. You should have already destroyed one camp going up to your base, and the second one is easy with a small, cheap army of Two-Handed Swordsmen.

Get your docks up and start fishing. Lumberjack everything, and mine all the gold/stone on your island. You can send a team (8-10) of petards to destroy the super-range tower at the bottom right of your island. Once you feel you have enough res, research all dock upgrades and then spam a large army of Galleons.

With your galleons, take control of the sea by destroying the one camp down the river. It'll stop the bandits from spawning ships. Once they stop, you can continue to spam ships and kill off the enemy until you're the only one in the sea. You should also be wasteful and destroy Sunda's towers with your ships.

Once the towers around the city are down, (watch out and make sure you don't go near the camp in the northeast), you can start trading with the Indian Trader. Build a dock in the spot at the beginning where you dropped off your units. It's still on your main island. Then start spamming ships to trade with the Indian traders.

To the north of the enemy city is a spawn point for Sunda ships. To stop them, you'll have to attack the city and destroy the two towers(?). Using a meatshield of Galleons and a few full transports of War Elephants would do.

Once trade starts going, you'll find War Elephants to be near unbeatable and very worth the gold. Since you'll be sending them through the sea most of the time, the disadvantage of travel is basically gone. Once dropped off, destroy the surrounding area and then head directly for the Sunda Princes. Killing them off ends the game, so don't bother with the other areas.

PS. Since the spawn points around the city continue indefinitely, you'll find them plugged up with units. It isn't much when it was just two-handed swordsmen, but the arbalest/skirmisher waves rip apart literally everything, even War Elephants.

PSS. You can buy War Elephants in abundance. Trade 3000 and it will throw out 30 elephants, though three at a time like usual. Much better than wasting time and effort trading 300 at a time.

PSSS. If you want to use the Onager hitting allied wonder trick, do it after you touch your first base. You can't do it before that because it first belongs to the Majapahit Army and is invincible (9999 HP and takes no damage from your onager fire). Otherwise, the trick works once it transfers to Trowulan.
