Empire Earth II/Crusade in Prussia

The first level of the German campaign is easy, yet fun. As the leader of the Teutonic order, your task will be to establish a commandery in Prussia, and to convert or submit the locals.

Nothing will be happening really, with the exception of a few attacks. Right from the beginning, you have enough troops to finish the mission, but you will be able to hire more anyway, so do not feel too bad about losing these Teutonic Crusaders.

Note that for the first time in a campaign, you will have the technological advantage over your enemies. You start at Epoch VI (Middle Age), while your main opponents are stuck in the Dark Age (Epoch V).

Walkthrough
You start in an allied town Cujavia, with 20 Teutonic Crusaders and Hermann Balk, your hero. The Teutonic Crusaders are a special unit that cannot be hired (as opposed to the Teutonic Knights). They are very good fighters and can also convert enemy units. Their ability works exactly in the same way as the Priests' convert ability, but you will have to activate it by yourself, as on enemy units will make your Crusaders attack them.

Take this sizable army north, to the city of Thorn, eliminating the few Prussians who decided to have a snack nearby. When you attack the city, make sure to use your Crusaders' special ability to convert citizens. Be careful, as you have to convert at least one citizen here, in order to build a City Center in Thorn.

After Thorn's temple is destroyed, you will be asked to build a commandery here, as well as to gain the allegiance of the Livonian Knights. Start building the required structures (a City Center, Fortress, Barracks and a Temple) and welcome the immigrants that soon join your outpost. You can hire more units if you like, especially Teutonic Knights in your Stables.

In the meanwhile, take your army north, then west, into Livonian territory (Scalovia). Despite being another Knightly Order, the Livonian Knights will attack you, until you convert five of their units (Medieval Knights or Citizens, it doesn't matter). Do so quickly.

Take your army south now, into Culm. Kill the few Prussians there and claim the territory to complete the other secondary objective.

Once that is done, take everything you have, make a few Rams or Trebuchets and attack the Ceribasi village in the northwest. To complete the mission, you will have to force the allegiance of these pagans by killing their leader. Start by taking out the towers and breaching the walls. When you approach the Military Leader, he flees into the nearest Fortress. Destroy it, then kill the Barbarian leader to finish your task.
