Crusade: The Fourth Crusade

Scenario Briefing: For a detailed historical preview of the Fourth Crusade, please refer to the pervious scenario description (scenario 089).

This scenario depicts the first stage of the siege of Galata. The Byzantine camp has been taken and its defenders have retreated to the relative safety of Galata. As the Crusader, you must take the city. In doing so, the floating chain, that is currently preventing the Venetian fleet from entering the Golden Horn and laying siege the Constantinople, can be broken and the Golden Horn opened.

Ships are symbolically represented and cannot maneuver.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as the Crusader against the AI or Head-to-Head.
