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

You must break the walls and get through Saladin's camp to get to Jerusalem that create no units other than Monks, and most towers should be destroyed to help the Trade Cart make it. You lose if the Dome of the Rock gets destroyed (Similar to Saladin), or if the Trade Cart dies (Similar to Joan of Arc). Since Damascus is Persian and usually sends Trebuchets, Paladins and War Elephants at you, it might be a good idea to convert these to protect and replenish your soldiers.

There are actually 2 Saracen towns, one in the east and one in the south just north of Jerusalem, the latter of which is completely walled in as stated above. It would be a good idea to destroy the eastern Saracen town before breaching the walls to the central Saracen town. If the walls are breached before the eastern town is attacked all the surviving villagers will flee to the southern town.

There are 2 Relics on the map, one just south of your starting point, which should be grabbed immediately by your Monks before the Saracens do so, and another one in the east deep inside the Saracen base. Picking up the 2nd Relic is a lot more difficult but can be done if you surround the Relic with your units or build a Palisade Wall around it to prevent any Saracen Monks from picking it up until you can send one of your own Monks to collect it (which on Standard difficulty is trivially easy if you get a Monk out within 2 minutes into the 10-minute countdown). Researching Fervor to increase your Monk's movement speed would be very useful in this regard (already researched in Standard difficulty). Either way, having an unlimited supply of gold will make the scenario easier as the majority of the gold seams are located in enemy territory.

Pausing the game the instant the scenario starts to issue orders is highly recommended. You need to build a large number of houses immediately, but leave room for farms around your Town Center and Mill. Do not build too close to the cliffs in the southeast, or Saracen Trebuchets will attack you. Ensure lumber harvesting begins as soon as possible, as you will need a lot of wood and food.

Stone is only found on your side of the wall southwest of Richard's camp. Send two or three villagers there from the beginning to mine it (make sure they do not get onagered to death as collateral damage when they trigger Richard to suicide into the Saracens, and also build a market near your initial TC, and trade with Richard's market). Place your first (and likely only on Standard difficulty) castle east of the tower directly south of your base, which illuminates the nearest relic AFTER you build your monastery southeast of the Relic. Use your Paladins to ride ahead and kill the wolf. Send your first Monk to the relic in the eastern Saracen base (see map above) and use your second Monk to pick up the closer relic. Build that castle on the small rise in the ground, with its lower left side directly adjacent to the trees, or perhaps a grid or two north or northwest (not too close to the cliffs, though the forest will funnel enemies coming between the cliff and Damascus's wall into castle range anyhow). build two Barracks north or northwest of it and a Stable. One Trebuchet to help raze that tower quickly, so it doesn't distract your Castle for too long, is a good idea. Repair the castle with villagers as needed.

Wall off the eastern Saracen base by building two blocks of Palisade walls slightly to the right of their gate, for some reason this prevents the Saracens from attacking. Walling off the yellow base initially (beware the gap in the wall just east of their eastern gate) to prevent them from sending too many elephants to wander around your turf in the first 10 minutes can also be wise....
