CAMPAIGN · DEFINITIVE EDITION

Panos Nautikos lands with Byzantine troops to support Louis II’s siege of Bari. Establish a foothold, dismantle the Saracen field camps, and open the ports so the allied army can complete its assault.
Overview
Panos Nautikos lands with Byzantine troops to support Louis II’s siege of Bari. Establish a foothold, dismantle the Saracen field camps, and open the ports so the allied army can complete its assault.
Player approach
Arrival at Bari (Definitive Edition) starts with five Villagers and a modest mixed army. Use Fishing Ships to speed food income, reach Castle Age, and destroy the four Saracen camps before turning toward the Emirate.
Step-by-step plan
Expand the economy from the five Villagers and keep Fishing Ships working safely. Advance to Castle Age, then use Camel Riders, Pikemen, and Elite Skirmishers to counter Cavalry Archers, Knights, and Camels. Build Battering Rams to breach the four camps and place a Castle in the Frank ally’s base to protect it. Research Murder Holes and keep melee units ready to intercept Saracen rams.
Risks and adjustments
The Emirate’s ships do not attack unless provoked, so leave its Docks alone while clearing the Saracen camps. Protect your own base as well as the Frank ally, since the Saracen army may raid either position.
