This afternoon, I finished up the second campaign from The Conquerors. The campaign centered around the 11th century Spanish hero El Cid. Unlike Attila the Hun, the featured leader from the first campaign, El Cid seemed like a true hero. I thought that made it more fun to play. El Cid commanded forces for King Sancho and later King Alfonso. He also commanded Moorish armies as well as Spanish so that made it the scenarios quite varied. In the final scenario, El Cid was dead but his armies fought on. They faced off against the Berbers of Northwest Africa and their leader Yusuf. The campaign finished with some nice naval battles as well as land action. Another great campaign in the Age of Empires II series.
