The Promise

The Promise is the fifth scenario of the Genghis Khan campaign in Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings.

For this mission you must capture the flags of your opponents by razing the nearby buildings and stationing units beside them. The enemies are the Polish (Blue, Goths), Germans (Red, Teutons) and Bohemians (Green, Teutons). There are also monks and Huskarls on a mountain southwest of your village that will join you when found. The Bohemians are the most powerful by far, with a massive army that will not attack unless provoked. As an alternative to attacking the Bohemians, you may build three castles inside a flagged area in the center of the map, which will cause the Bohemian army to attack. It is best to defeat the other two enemies first, and then wall off passes between cliffs where the Bohemian army will attempt to flank you. Build multiple walls and towers before completing the last castle. Mangudai are quite useful for sorties, as they have an anti-siege weapon bonus and can avoid the slower Bohemian Paladins and swordsmen.
