Because a king is fast, you need archer or ranged units to kill him. Built outposts in the trails until you find a place your enemy doesn't have much activity, and send in at least 5 trebuchets to blow the castle up fast, or use petards.
You can make trails through the woods and build a safe place for your king there, or you can blow out a trail to your enemies area. Use this siege onager to blow out trees, either by telling it to attack the tree as it would a unit, or by telling it to attack ground, but change it every time you need to blow out an area.
For Black Forest, have at least one siege onager (be sure to pick a civilization that has them because only 4 do, and the Saracens are one).
For islands, it may be time consuming, but try to wall off the entire island with the exception of a few gates, not even allowing enough room for a transport to land, because that is your greatest threat playing at that map. When or if you play regicide, play at a black forest map, or islands.
