Stronghold Crusader 2 (PC) – Steam Key – GLOBAL

Stronghold Crusader 2

Stronghold Crusader 2 is the long-awaited sequel to Stronghold: Crusader, the original 'castle sim.’ After 12 years, Stronghold returns to the deserts of the Middle East circa 1189, featuring a new 3D engine and realistic castle destruction powered by Havok Physics. Crusader 2 aims to recapture the original game’s addictive, fast-paced gameplay and authentic castle simulation.

Gameplay Overview

True to its roots, this new Stronghold will define old-school real-time strategy, combining RTS and city builder gameplay. Playing as a brutal Crusader Knight or an Arabic freedom fighter, you must utilize a deadly array of troops and destructive siege equipment to decide the fate of the holy lands.

Lead your forces into battle as either Richard the Lionheart or the Sultan of Syria in two historic single-player campaigns, featuring dynamic events such as tornados and locust swarms. Become the greatest Lord by managing your desert economy and seizing control of vital oases.

Unit Types and Skills

To dominate the battlefield, you will need to command more than 25 unique unit types, mastering their special abilities. Raise morale with the Sergeant at Arms, charge in with the Sassanid Knight, use Archers to launch an arrow volley, or scale castle walls with the deadly Assassin.

Once your skills have been perfected, put them to the test in skirmish mode or take the battle online with up to eight human and AI players. Create teams, choose different AI opponents, and design your own map in the ultimate skirmish or multiplayer game!
