Overview
Lord of Arabia (co-op) requires both players to defeat the Raiders and Pirates while keeping Aqaba’s and Medina’s Town Centers alive. Coordinate defense early because attacks arrive immediately and each player is limited to 100 population.
Plan and execution
Assign one player to the more exposed land front and the other to support the second base and fishing economy. Build early towers or military units against Knights and Crossbowmen, then wall vulnerable approaches to Medina. Keep fishing boats close to safety as the Pirate fleet grows, and produce siege only after both Town Centers can withstand a counterattack. Collect the two Relics when an escort is available, then attack the Raiders and Pirates in sequence with both armies.
Risks and adaptation
Either Town Center falling causes defeat, so one player should remain ready to defend while the other raids. Imperial Age and the highest naval upgrades are unavailable, and each player’s population cap limits army size.
