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

Starting the game, the player has an army of 70 men but no Villagers. They must take the route to the south, where they will find a river, guarded by a Saracen Galleon. Don't waste time trying to destroy it, as it is unable to kill many of the player's soldiers.

When passing the river, the player will come across some Saracen Mamelukes destroying a House. If the player leads with Teutonic Knights, losses should hopefully be minimal. When this ends, move towards the south. Remember, do not take the path to Gallipoli. The Saracens will fight the player everywhere and there will not be any warships available; the path to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, is easier.

Attacking Constantinople Edit
In the path to Constantinople, the player will encounter many Outposts and eventually, the walls of Constantinople, with double fortification and eight very powerful Bombard Towers. The Byzantine Emperor automatically changes diplomatic stance to Enemy, and the player must fight through the walls.

Keep the army and the siege weapons far west of the Bombard Towers, to avoid casualties. When the attacks from Byzantine troops end, take the three Trebuchets, unpack them, and destroy the Bombard Towers. Do not besiege the Gates with sodliers, only destroy the two Gates using the Trebuchets. When the Gates are destroyed, get the soldiers to Constantinople. Do not attack any building except the Wonder. Especially, do not attack the Castle. When the player's troops are next to the Wonder, the Byzantine Emperor changes diplomatic stance with to Ally, and the Byzantine ships switch to the player's control.

But at this point, there will be a problem, as the Saracens trade with Constantinople, and many Saracen ships will be in the Byzantine naval station. When the Byzantine ships switch to the player's side, the Saracens will attack them.

Fight the naval battle and do not try to get on the ships. When the Saracens leave, take all men and get on. A Byzantine transport ship can take 20 men, so only four will be needed at most. Also have the Galleons protect the transport ships from Saracen naval attacks.

It is also possible to get all Byzantine ships without have to fight Constantinople at all, by sending a soldier to Gallipoli, board them, send the ships to the east until they reach Constantinople east port, unload troops to the south of the port and rush them east towards the Byzantine Wonder. Doing this will make Constantinople surrender as soon as they become enemies, without giving them time to react before the player's troops are already close to their Wonder.

Fighting the Seljuks
After reaching the Anatolian beach, only one enemy will face the player, the Seljuks. Unload the units off the transport ship. The player must find a way to bypass the Seljuk wall, which is protected by two Towers. When the player reaches them, an earthquake will make a gap in the wall, while the Towers and the Castle are triggered to be destroyed, allowing the player's army can pass this Seljuk station.

One must remember that the Seljuks have many camps in Anatolia and their forces will attack the player. Move towards the south, through the desert, where the player will see a lake. Pass it and go east. If the player spots a wall belong to the Teutons, the have reached the Hospitaller camp. When the Hospitallers open the Gate, the Seljuk units will enter the camp. The player might probably be unable to withstand a serious attack at this point, but thankfully the Hospitallers' soldiers attack the Seljuk units.

To beat this scenario, select all soldiers and then right click the Castle, or alternativelly press the Garrison hotkey and then the Castle.
