Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings Campaign

Saladin Expanded
with:
- Forgotten Empires
- African Kingdoms
- Rise of the Rajas
by Turan Khan

Saladin:

Outraged that the Holy Land is ruled by Saracens, knights from Europe have descended upon the Middle East in a series of Crusades. Now four European kingdoms have sprung up in the desert. The Saracen king, Saladin, rallies his troops in an attempt to drive back the invaders. In response to European Crusades, the Saracens have organized a Jihad. In response to European vileness, the once-cultured Saracens have become treacherous. But will it be enough to save their homeland?




Changes include:
- INTRO and OUTRO movies faithfully re-captured from the original AoK campaign
- Scenario Background, Banners, Buttons re-crafted as close as possible to the original AoK campaign
- Civilizations: Berbers, Malians, Ethiopians, Italians added
- Doodads and embellishments
- New side quests
- Triggers and bugs fixed
- custom AIs that train the unique units from the new civilizations

MISSION CHANGES below:
-Mission 1: West Franks (BLUE). East Franks (PURPLE). Cairo added (YELLOW) as Ethiopians to showcase African influence and to make Cairo look more beautiful. Shia Fatimids (RED) control most of Cairo (lots of houses, military buildings, castles, towers, etc). Added Bahri Mamluks (the succeeding dynasty after the Ayyubids), with a little quest and migration to Al-Rodah. Fixed the voice line when Fatimids join up with the Player again near the Mosque. Since the voice line mentions Red Player's soldiers, I just had any remaining soldiers switch over to Player command.
-Mission 2: Removed starting Market [replaced with Stables], disabled Market (AIs use the player's, completely not trading with each other; this makes this mission tougher). To offset this, Aqaba (YELLOW) as Berbers to signify more Bedouin culture and allow via ally to train Genitours in this mission. This is to reflect Arab, Kurdish, and Armenian cavalry used more javelin skirmishers than horse archers. Medina (ORANGE) stays as Saracens. Reynald's Raiders (BLUE); they can snipe the Town Center of Aqaba, so be careful. Reynald's Bandits (PURPLE). and Reynald's Pirates (GREY), looks almost black, so more piratey color.
-Mission 3: Knights Templar (GREY). Knights Hospitaller (RED) for blood and hospitals. British (RED) as well. Kingdom of Jerusalem (PURPLE). There is one really fast strat to beat this mission. From original mission, this was very bugged. It took me a long time to make the triggers work as intended. HINT: track Monk with Relic vs. the Relic itself.
-Mission 4: Jerusalem (PURPLE). Knights Templar (GREY). Knights Hospitaller (RED). Fixed old vanilla broken trigger to re-create the Master of the Templar to attack again and again. Now all works. Uses 2 unused voice lines. I don't ever remember the Master of the Templar showing up like so. It was some tough triggerwork, but it's possible now! Woot! Hopefully you enjoy!
-Mission 5: Tyre (RED). Tiberias (BLUE). Ascalon (ORANGE) but changed to Italians (that Teuton architecture didn't fit Middle East, so that Italian is more akin. Tripoli Guards (PURPLE). Hebron (CYAN/TEAL/AQUA) as Berbers, mainly to allow for player to recruit Genitours.
-Mission 6: Genoese (CYAN/TEAL) changed to Italians. Franks (BLUE). Knights Templar (GREY). This time, the Player can finally kill the Master of the Templar for good, and can get bonuses to attack and armor for all troops periodically as morale boost. Richard (RED) with Hero King Richard the Lionhearted. Similar to the Master of the Templar, Richard if killed, will get respawned to fight again and again. Jerusalem (PURPLE). Persian Outpost (ORANGE) but as Berbers, mainly to allow for player to recruit Genitours.

I hope you enjoy this update to the beloved classic Saladin campaign!
