- 4th Level - Henry the lion will once again turn on you so follow the same tactic as in mission 2
- 5th Level - Keep your onagers on no attack otherwise they can kill half of your own men, Whilst it can be ignored, it is recommended you brake into Constantinople then take a couple of cavalry and station them near the wonder, this will give you a much bigger navy with which to cross the sea.
- 6th Level - This mission can be completed in less than 10 minutes by following a method similar to the one below.
