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. 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 II, released in 2014, introduced a 3D graphics engine and a number of other innovations, including a cooperative multiplayer mode.An important difference from the first game also lies in the fact that cheat codes do not work here, which, unfortunately, limits the possibilities of players. Stronghold Crusader HD features several campaigns documenting the First, Second and Third Crusades, as well as conflicts within the individual Crusader states.
