Galilee. Year twenty of my capture.
Last night, we rode into a furious sandstorm, chasing destiny across endless dunes. The Saracens have driven a vast Crusader army deep into the desert, where thirst and despair gnaw at their strength. Among their ranks lies a relic of immense power – a piece of the True Cross.

Now, beneath the twin peaks called the Horns of Hattin, the Crusaders prepare for their final stand. With only one pool of water in sight – and Saladin’s forces in control of it – their fate is sealed.

💥 Will Saladin’s cunning and cruelty break the Crusaders once and for all?
💥 Can the capture of the True Cross crush their morale forever?

Join me in this legendary Age of Empires II campaign mission as we relive the battle that reshaped the Holy Land.

⚔️ Watch the desert burn red at the Horns of Hattin! ⚔️

00:00Galilee, year twenty of my capture.
00:16Last night we rode into a sandstorm.
00:19The men dared not open their mouths to speak.
00:22We clung to the necks of horses or camels while waves of sand rose and fell around us.
00:28The citizens have pursued a large force of Europeans into the desert.
00:33The crusaders carry with them a relic, a piece of the true cross.
00:38Capturing this artifact will deal a severe blow to the morale of Saladin's Christian foes.
00:43I asked Saladin why we were here, miles from civilization and water.
00:48He said, to bring crimson death to the blue-eyed enemy.
00:51The huge crusader army has halted to make it stand beneath the two peaks called the Horns of Hetan.
00:58At the Horns is only a single pool of water, and Saladin controls it.
01:03At night the citizens ride out and extravagantly pour out vessels of water into the sand,
01:09within sight of the first crazed Europeans.
01:12It is cruelty worthy of a crusader.
01:15European murder shall die in this desert.
01:24European murder shall die in this desert.
01:28European murder shall die in this desert.
11:06Hey,
48:05Yeah.
