Consolidation and Subjugation

Consolidation and Subjugation is the second scenario of the Tariq ibn Ziyad campaign in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. After capturing the city of Cordoba in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, the Umayyad Caliphate venture further north and have reached Toledo, the center of the Visigoth Kingdom. From here, they must prove their dominance by capturing three of the four neighboring cities of Seville, Merida, Talavera and Guadalajara.

Allies
* Toledo (Byzantines): They merely represent the town that has been captured by the Visigoth Garrison. They have a few economic and military buildings, a Town Center, a Castle and quite a few Guard Towers. Upon defeating every soldier of the Visigothic Garrison and destroying all of their Watch Towers, the buildings and walls of Toledo will come under control of the player and they will surrender.

* Cordoba (Saracens): They are present at the south-eastern side of the map and have a well-fortified base, with a Castle and a few Keeps. Musa ibn Nusayr, a governor and general of the Umayyad Caliphate is also part of Cordoba and has a large army including Siege Rams, Trebuchets and lots of fully upgraded Elite Mamelukes, Heavy Camels, Hussars and Heavy Cavalry Archers. He will send this army to help the player after 30 minutes of in-game time have passed after you defeat the Visigoth Garrison. After the player receives his army, Cordoba will construct a Trebuchet for the player every 10 minutes at their castle, which will be a valuable siege weapon since the player cannot advance to the Imperial Age in this scenario.

Enemies
* Visigoth Garrison (Goths): They have captured the city of Toledo and have a large number of infantry, along with Scorpions and Archers waiting in the city. They also have 5 Watch Towers spread across the city. To recapture the city of Toledo, the player must defeat every soldier of the Visigoth Garrison and destroy all 5 of their Watch Towers. Once this is done, they will surrender and Toledo will come under the player's control.

* Seville (Italians): Their city is located near the southern edge of the map, and will be the first to start constructing a Wonder. However, their base is pretty weak with only one Castle at the center and a few watch towers to defend it. Their Wonder is highly exposed so it is possible to aim at it with Trebuchets without having to breach the walls first. However, they will train Crossbowmen, Light Cavalry, Pikemen and Siege Units to counter your forces.

* Merida (Goths): They are located on the south-western edge of the map. Merida is the most fortified of all the 4 enemy cities with a large number of Watch Towers, 2 layers of walls and 4 Castles. They will be the second enemy to start constructing a Wonder, after Seville. They will send small raiding parties to the south-western part of your base, comprising mainly of infantry along with Cavalry Archers and Scorpions.

* Talavera (Spanish): They are located directly west of your base in Toledo. Their base is also quite well fortified and they are the only enemy city to possess a navy, which they will use periodically to attack your base along the river. They will be the third enemy to start constructing a Wonder, after Seville and Merida. They will be the most frequent out of all four enemy cities to send raiding parties to your city, comprising of Knights, Crossbowmen, Pikemen and after a while, Scorpions and Mangonels. The player should have soldiers stationed at the western side of the city at all times to counter these frequent attacks.

* Guadalajara (Goths): They are located at the northern edge of the map. Thier base is the least fortified and they are probably the weakest enemy. Their Castle is very exposed and can be taken down by a few shots of with some Trebuchets. Their army will comprise of Huskarls, Longswordsmen, Light Cavalry and Scorpions and will send small factions to raid the northern part of your city but not as frequently as the other 3. They also have a small military camp directly east of the player's base and attacking it will give the player access to the huge stockpile of gold and stone mines hidden in the mountains.
