Cradle of Empires: Level Modes

Before the match-3 level begins, you get a notification of the mode you are going to play. Some modes are timed and some have a certain amount of moves.

The mode of the level can be updated.

Treasure Hunt Mode is available in the Cave. You need to dig up all the treasure to complete the match-3 level in Treasure Hunt Mode. Match the chips over the ground tile up to 5 times (sometimes 2, sometimes 4, etc.) to destroy it. Different match-3 levels have diffident difficulty. Keep an eye on the treasure counter!

Drop the Item Mode is available in the Sphinx. There are items in the match-3 level that need to be placed in cells which have been especially marked. The quicker the level is passed the more chances there are to get a unique reward.

Golden Tablets Mode is available in the Pyramid. Your main task is to paint the required number of cells gold to pass the match-3 level. Make a three-in-a-row combo and the golden tablet will paint neighboring cells.
