The Reconquista mission is the sixth and final scenario in the El Cid campaign in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It is based on the Almoravid attempts to conquer Valencia between 1094 and 1102, as well as the legend that El Cid won his last battle even after his death.
In this mission, you must defend Valencia from the Berbers and their leader, Yusuf ibn Tashfin. The scenario begins with a dramatic twist—El Cid is already dead, but his wife, Jimena, straps his body onto his horse to maintain morale among the troops. Your goal is to repel the Berber forces while managing limited resources and strategic alliances.
The Berbers launch an onslaught of relentless attacks, sending waves of enemy troops to overwhelm your defenses. The mission starts in the Imperial Age, with a population limit of 125 and a mix of military and economic units. You will need to fortify your walls, train powerful units, and carefully time your counterattacks to survive the assault.
This scenario is unique because it emphasizes psychological warfare—your troops must believe El Cid is still alive to maintain their fighting spirit. The sheer intensity of enemy attacks makes this a grueling test of strategic defense, resource management, and battlefield resilience. It’s a thrilling conclusion to the campaign, blending history, strategy, and legend into one epic battle.
