Scenario Briefing: Variant - This scenario is a variant of the previous scenario and supposes that as the Crusaders approached the city from the north, and while many have yet to cross the bridge across the Golden Horn, Alexios III has amassed a large part of his available defending army and is preparing to attack before the full force of the Crusading army is assembled and ready for the siege to begin.
As the Crusader commander, you must not only defeat this pre-emptive attack but successfully lay siege to the city.
Special Notice: Be sure to save a few units that are equipped with ladders to be used against the secondary wall. Once you have secured a gate ownership and have deemed it safe, you can pass through the gate with units that are still equipped with ladders and travel to the secondary city wall. The walls of Constantine. Be sure you identify all your units that are equipped with ladders using the View>Highlight>Units With Ladders pathway.
