Age of Empires II: HD Edition - The Age of Kings


The player starts from the central-western part of the map. Poland will have a navy attacking them in the early stage of the game, so they may need to build Fire Ships to defend themselves against the Polish navy. However, once the player has destroyed the Polish navy and they have stopped building a navy, they may start building Trade Cogs to trade with the Polish Docks. It is also possible to end the threat of a Polish navy very early on (at least on standard difficulty) by sending the player's Fire Ships to burn down their Docks in the very early game. The player will encounter War Galleys en route which they must eliminate, but this can almost instantly remove considerations of a Polish navy from the game.

Poland will invade both the player and Henry the Lion (which will simply get slaughtered without resistance), and may occasionally attack Saxony and Bavaria. As Poland is attacking Henry the Lion, it would be advisable to at least destroy their mangonels to prevent them from stationing at the west, where some Gaia villagers will spawn.

Henry the Lion will betray the player and become their enemy either at the 2000th second (33 minutes and 20 seconds) mark of the game, or when the northwestern Polish castle (on the western side of the river, near Saxony) is being destroyed, or the player has crossed the river into the northern or southeastern part of the Polish base, or if they change stance with him to enemy.

The player will be informed by a soldier of theirs that Henry the Lion has some villagers at the west (actually the Gaia villagers mentioned above) ready for their possession. There will be a flag marked at that spot. Send any unit to the flag and the Gaia villagers become the player's. (If there is any enemy around, they may start attacking the villagers, and any Mangonel will deal a great blow against the villagers). There is also a relic there, being confined in Henry the Lion's walls and locked gate. If the Polish army has destroyed the structure, the player may just send a Monk to take the relic, as long as there is no enemy around.

It may be a good idea to convert Polish Huskarls whenever possible, in order to make use of their speed and strength, as they cannot research Heresy.

Alternative way
Players can defeat Henry the Lion by changing their stance to neutral, building Rams, and attack Henry's Castle, Siege Workshop, and Barracks before he changes his stance to enemy.

Alternatively, use Mangonels and the "Attack Ground" command.
