I build gates to defend the fosse, adding two castles in it and max out elite mamelukes to defend from there while building the wonder.

Mamelukes speed and ranged attack makes wonders against the french bombards as you can rush them, forcing them to spread out and die easily.

Jerusalem troops are also devastated mercilessly by Mamelukes.

Templars have Teutonic Knights but they can be ignored or finished with hit and run tactics, Paladins get squashed by Mameluke and their siege workshop is in range for occasional raids to demolish their battering rams. They will attack with a total of 8, which can be deadly, so why not prevent that.

Genoese warships are never a match for Saracen ones. Really enjoyable scenario, one of my favourites.
