The cyan Raiders are fairly straightforward, and since they're a more obvious threat to Aqaba and Medina, I took them out first. But the blue Pirates had Galleons camped off my shore and kept destroying my Dock, although thankfully I got the two available upgrades in time. I beat the scenario by going around them and building a Dock in the northwest corner of the map, there's a handy little bay where I built the Dock that's defensible with a guard tower if necessary. I moved my army over there, and transported them to the southern end of the Pirates' base; the northern end doesn't have enough room for your forces to land and move around easily, and transports are able to take several hits from Galleons if that happens. Once my army was transported across, I had my projectile siege weapons (Scorpions and Mangonels) and Mamelukes destroy the Galleons when they tried to attack my invasion force. I did need to bring over reinforcements to take out the Castle, and my own Castle that I built at the western end of my base was extremely useful, perhaps essential, for fending off Pirate attacks.
