Battle plan

Montgisard is a Knights Templar map-control mission: capture all four Sacred Sites while keeping the Capital Town Center safe. Ayyubid forces reinforce the sites, so leave enough of the army to hold each capture while preparing for the next. The six optional Points of Interest provide additional resources, units or support. The Conqueror challenge requires a rapid first capture and clearing the eastern camp; the medal is based on the time to capture all sites.
