The West Rakhine (3, Yellow) are your main roadblock to visiting the final two Buddhist Temples.They train Elite Battle Elephants, Hand Cannoneers, infantry, and warships. The South Rakhine (4, Cyan) dominate the area surrounding the first two Buddhist Temples.They train Rattan Archers, swordsmen, Battle Elephants, Skirmishers and siege weapons. They will initially not interfere with his pilgrimage, but will threaten his camp by the time he visits all of the Temples. The East Rakhine (5, Orange) control a fortress near Bayinnaung's starting location.The Rakhine are split into three separate factions: Beware the defensive capabilities of their Wonder. They rely on their Feitorias for resources and will periodically harass Bayinnaung's forces with Organ Guns, Cavaliers, infantry, and Monks. The Portuguese (6, Purple) command the northern end of Mrauk U and fight as mercenaries of the Rakhine.Because the Burmese army is so far from the homelands, their supplies are limited. Bayinnaung's sons, Nanda and Thinga, attack the Rakhine capital of Mrauk U from both land and sea.While venturing to the Buddhist temples, be careful not to let your forces take too much damage from enemy castles.Your Monks start with Theocracy researched - use them to turn the odds in your favor.You can either merge his forces with Bayinnaung's, or land them separately to cripple your enemies in advance. Plan on deploying Thinga Dathta's army at some point before visiting all the Buddhist temples.Raid your enemies to weaken them later on, but bear in mind that sustaining too many losses will make it difficult to complete Bayinnaung's meditations.You initially cannot train any units, but once Bayinnaung's meditations are completed, you will have a population limit of 300.Bring Bayinnaung to the four Buddhist temples (Wonders).Additionally, the player's four Cannon Galleons to the west and three Bombard Cannons in the eastern base will be removed by trigger immediately after the game starts, along with two Monks from the eastern base. On moderate/hard difficulty, the player will get 26,000 food, 23,000 wood, 23,000 gold, 500 stone after bringing Bayinnaung to the four temples.On standard difficulty, the player will get 34,000 food, 29,000 wood, 29,000 gold, 1,500 stone after bringing Bayinnaung to the four temples.
