CAMPAIGN · THE AGE OF KINGS
An Arabian Knight (co-op)
A two-player cooperative variant of An Arabian Knight from the Saladin campaign. Coordinate both starting forces to complete the shared objectives: Defeat the Franks west of Cairo.
Overview
A two-player cooperative variant of An Arabian Knight from the Saladin campaign. Coordinate both starting forces to complete the shared objectives: Defeat the Franks west of Cairo.
Player approach
An Arabian Knight (co-op) divides a slower force and a mobile Light Cavalry group between two players. Coordinate the march to Cairo so the faster player scouts while the slower group handles the main engagements.
Step-by-step plan
Have Player A stay with the slower units and use Player B’s Light Cavalry to scout and avoid unnecessary fights. Move toward the Mosque gate together; reaching it transfers additional Cavalry Archers, Camels, Mangonel, Light Cavalry, and Rams to the players. Use those reinforcements to counter the East Franks and focus the units blocking the objective rather than clearing every structure.
Risks and adjustments
If one player is AI-controlled, it may not follow instructions reliably. Do not split the groups beyond supporting distance, and protect the slower units until the Cairo reinforcements arrive.
