Crusade: The Fourth Crusade

Scenario Briefing: Variant - In this variation of the full siege of Constantinople, the city is surrounded. And this time, the Venetians have assembled their fleet and will land their contingent along the shores of the city's sea wall. Their ladders will attempt to scale the walls and overcome the defenders. Their Doge and leader Enrico Dandolo, over 90 years old and almost totally blind, will lead the attack of the Venetians. This is a maximum effort attack of the entire Crusader army. Even Alexios IV will participate and lead his followers.

Should you encounter any unarmed civilians, you are permitted to do as your conscience dictates.

Ships are symbolically represented and cannot maneuver.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as the Crusader against the Anti-Crusader AI. This scenario can also be played Head-to-Head (PBEM).
