I recall having already written a review for this, but I can't see it here ;)

This is a top-notch game. I've played through the original Stronghold twice, and I always had two problems with it:

1) Not enough missions from start to finish
2) Levels too short. I found that often I'd be just getting going on my castle and then the time would end!

This solves both.

The campaign mode on this has 4-5 5 mission mini-campaigns. The reason I'm not positive on the 4-5 is because frankly these are just kind of filler to teach you about new units and what not. Also ridiculously easy (I quit half way through the second or third campaign).

But that's my only gripe. The meat of this game is a 50 back-to-back mission super-campaign. There is no storyline to these, and they are just different missions done sequentially (you see a guy on a map as he progresses along). I'm on mission 30 now. I found that the first 20 were overall fairly easy, but they've started to get harder, and promise to be very challening by the end. These missions are your castle vs. one or several computer AIs each with their own. Sometimes you get an ally or two (they are quite incompetent at the beginning, but do become more useful later on).

My interest in games in recent years has waned, but my wife is away this weekend and, other than eating infrequently, I've done little but play this game both days. I quite simply am not getting bored by it at all; it's like I'm 16 again and it's summer time.

And look how cheap this game is now? Buy it!

Highly addictive.

I was searching for a good combination of castle sim builder and RTS battle game, and I lucked into this one - so many sleepless nights since! Great graphics, great sound, great music, and it even runs smooth on my clunky toaster oven of a computer.

Highly recommended! Get this game!

Great game

StrongHold Crusader is an amazing game.
It has so many units and different ways to
destroy a castle that it never gets old.
You can buy Crusaders, Knights, Archers,
Crossbowmen, firethrowers, and many more.
The graphics are great. This is a
great game and is better than most RTS games.
A+ for Stronghold Crusader.

stronghols crusader; more than just an expansion

stronghld crusader is not merely an expanison, this could be whole nother game. you have at least as many new units as old, plus four new oponents. you can have aliies now, and trade goods with them. the campiagne is much more challenging then in stronghold,so you shoulld becaome prettty weel oreinted before you play it. the custome game opption is a lot of fun because you set wich aponent you are playing based on your skill level. if you like games where you actually have to think about what you do, and enjoy building up your base before atttacking, this game is for you

this game is awesome!!!

this game is awesome especially for people who like age of empires or the first stronghold which is not as good but still fun.I highly recomend you buy this game and if your not sure then just play the demo.this game is from a helocopter point of view except not that far up and theres lots of things you can do.This game rules with diffrent traps that you can use against the enemy thats trying to get in your casle.PLEASE advice that this is not easy and YOU will need practice which is another reason i like this game.Its all that and a bag of chips.

Excellent game. Dangerously addicting

The gamer who gave 2 starts to this game obviously has no clue of good games. I agree only on the part that rotation could be better. Thats it, the rest is awesome.

Graphics: 9

Difficulty: 9

You have ability to build your stronghold castle the way you want it and this game requires you to think every move you make to crush your enemy, otherwise you'll loose it fast.

Therefore, your success depends on food supplies, religion(building church or temple), tax rates in order to grow your population (HINT). In addition, stone, iron and wood supplies
will allow you to build strong castles with all kinds of towers and add armory and other buildings. The more people you have the faster army you can build and you have to keep them happy(again enough food, good tax rates and bless them with your priest), otherwise they leave your castle and you loose it.

From Archers to Horse Archers, from Swordsmen to building Catapults with Engineers to knock down enemy castle you are in control of your battle.

I have 1MHz Pentium III Dell machine with 384MB of RAM (PC 133) and decent 64MB geForce 4 TI 6200 video card and DO NOT HAVE ANY technical issues especially controling the characters.

The bottom line get it, enjoy and ignore bad reviews. Those people cannot run todays games on 16MB video card and 64MB or RAM. I dont have top-of-the-line PC, however yes I recently added more RAM and good video card and enjoy it since.
