Assassins are crucial to the completion of this mission.

Another siege mission - at the same time being one of the hardest missions in the game. You will take command over Arabian Swordsmen, Arabian Archers, Mantlets, Slaves, Horse Archers and your new acquisition, Assassins - you won't have access to any siege equipment.

To get through the first obstacle - a gate protected by Archers and Swordsmen - use your Arabian Swordsmen. Order them to get closer to the wall to provoke the enemy soldier - as he is fighting with your troops, order your Archers, covered by Mantlets, to approach the wall and get rid of archers stationed there (you can set them close to the mountains so they will also get rid of enemies at the top of them). After you've gotten rid of the enemy troops, back away your Swordsmen and Archers and order the Assassins to climb up the walls - after a short while they will take control over the gate.

Another obstacle awaits you - 2 Arabian Swordsmen and 3 Arabian Archers, protected by a Barricade. Use the same tactic as before - use your Swordsmen to get rid of the enemy equivalent and use your Archers and Mantlets to kill all of the enemy's. Afterwards, order your Arabian Archers to approach the mountains to get rid of those pesky enemy shooters. Retreat all your troops apart from your Swordsmen - use them to destroy the Barricade.

The next blockade is mostly the same as the last one - the only difference is that there's a Oil Pot Thrower hiding behind a Barricade, which you must take out with your Archers before he can hurl his oil cask at your Swordsmen. Clear the Barricade and proceed.

With the proper placement of your archers, you will be able to kill off most of the enemy troops stationed on the walls.

Another stop is a group of Arabian Swordsman and Horse Archers - easy, considering the fact that you won't be under fire from the enemy Archers. Use your Archers to take out the Horse Archers and your Swordsmen to get rid of the enemy ones. You should now be in front of a gate, with swarms of Archers in the area. You can get rid of them fairly quickly - do as you were doing in the past, send your Swordsmen first to focus enemy fire. Afterwards, send your Archers hidden under Mantlers and kill all the Archers in the area. Now take over the gate with your Assassins.

The last pair of walls - the more units you managed to bring here, the easier your job will be.

Now you will face the final encounter - the last pair of walls, which separates your army from the enemy Lord. Send your Swordsmen to attack the walls. Use all your remaining Archers to kill enemy shooters - the more you manage to kill off the better. Now use your Assassins, climb up the walls and open the gate - after you've done it, retreat them as soon as possible to not lose them. Kill of the enemy Slaves swarm and use all your remaining melee units to destroy walls. If you have any Assassins remaining, send them on the walls and try to open the gate - as soon as you managed to get to the other side, send your forces to kill the enemy Lord.
