The Spanish surround the city in several disparate encampments. The player's initial forces can clear a few, using the heroes to tank most of the enemy fire. The Spanish also hold Algerian troops as prisoners across several sites in the map. The player should free them to bolster their troops quickly.
Shipments are blocked until the Spanish ships blocking the path east (two Caravels on Easy, three Caravels and two Galleons on Hard) are destroyed, as well as some of the Spanish ships near the Docks in the south are sunk. For the former, the player can simply use the Broadside Attack ability and retreat to the Docks a few times. Fighting ships in the open waters in the south will require more micromanagement and can be eased by getting the warship technologies at the Dock.
