But other than the fact that “Crusader Extreme” sounds uncomfortably like some kind of fash energy drink, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for it. It truly is the Sonic The Hedgehog of RTS/city builder hybrids, eh? For a lot of people, Stronghold: Crusader Extreme was the nadir of the franchise.
Over the two decades and nine-ish games of the series, Stronghold has been on a right old rollercoaster, quality-wise. What with Stronghold: Warlords coming out the other week, I’ve been revisiting a few of the Stronghold games in my collection, and… crikey. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. The unit cap has been increased from 1000 to a staggering 10,000 troops, special Tactical Powers such as the Arrow Volley can be used and new buildings make their appearance alongside the Crusader Extreme skirmish trail.Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. Extreme plays exactly like the original Stronghold Crusader, only with a few additions. Advance on the castle gates while flanking the enemy from behind, feign retreat and lead your foe into a deadly trap or just sit back and watch the destruction unfold.īoth Stronghold Crusader and Stronghold Crusader Extreme are included in Stronghold Crusader HD. The new HD battlefield view allows you to zoom out and play in real-time, with the whole map on one screen.
With new high resolution graphics you have more control over your soldiers than ever before. Battles such as Nicea, Heraclea, siege of Antioch, Krak des Chevaliers and the Siege of Jerusalem all feature, as do the Crusader Trails from the Stronghold Warchest and Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Stronghold Crusader HD features several campaigns documenting the First, Second and Third Crusades, as well as conflicts within the individual Crusader states.
Lead a determined group of Crusaders, forged by centuries of barbaric warfare, amidst the haze of the desert heat then fight for your freedom as the mighty Saladin. Relive the historic Crusades as Richard the Lionheart and the Saladin, Sultan of Syria.
