Black Guards

Black Guards is the fourth scenario in the El Cid campaign in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.

El Cid begrudgingly must rescue King Alfonso (blue/Spanish) from the Black Guard Army (cyan/Saracens),Black Guard Navy (yellow/Saracens) and Yusuf (green/Saracens). Though he fights for King Alfonso against the Moors, El Sid has the Saracen technology tree. After establishing himself in King Alfonso's fort to the west, the Cid must destroy all of the Docks that the Black Guard Navy controls in the river to the south. There is also a Mosque towards the west, and if you convert it and leave behind a Monk, you will earn all Monasterytechnologies for free.

The Cyan player has its town in the southwestern part of the map, which is very vulnerable to attacks, since all of its army is located inside the Yellow computers city. Sneaking in a couple of soldiers and razing their town center will immediately cause them to resign.
