Stronghold Crusader 2

I used to play the first crusader that released in 2002. I bought stronghold crusader 2 because of nostalga, I dont regret spending 6 dollars for buying Stronghold Crusader 2 special edition which came with a free copy of Stronghold Crusader HD. I have been playing for close to 6 hours and i have to say it is fun with friends, I recommend.

Welcome to Stronghold Crussader II, my liege! I give this game 5 stars because of the low rating. But it's a 4 star game due to some bugs still present in the game. :| It's a good game and not much different from the good old Stronghold games. If you have played the old ones, you want this one as well. I already have 40 hours in it, in the last 2 weeks. Have finished 70% of the main game without any game-breaking bugs or any problems whatsoever. Game closed to desktop once in 40 hours. Hope this helps you make the right decision!

Stronghold Crusader 2 is a real time strategy game set during the crusades, it has a stronger focus on combat as the ingame economy has been streamlined from the other Stronghold games. You are charged to provide food and entertainment for your workers who, in turn, form the backbone of your economy. Mine Stone, extract pitch, farm wheat, or chop wood. Once your stockpile has a steady flow of raw goods you are ready to refine them into weapons, drink, or processed food types. A strong economy is mandatory to support an ever growing military. On the militant side of the game you have one of the hallmarks of the Stronghold franchise, entirely modular defense system. The map has a grid superimposed upon it which is used to align and place structures. Each wall is placed piece by piece, every tower and gatehouse where you want them. Lay traps such as killing pits and pitch ditches for your enemies and garrison your archers atop your great towers. There are many defensive and offensive tactics to experiment with, sally forth and meet your enemy in the field or bring the fight to your castle and employ traps and tower mounted siege engines to your advantage. In skirmish mode the base objective is to kill all enemy lords, although multiplayer games have a greater range of victory conditions. The single player campaign has custom objectives and scripted invasions/events. When Steam Workshop becomes available for Stronghold Crusader 2 players will be able to create and share their own skirmish maps and custom missions.

...I think I've said enough but I guess your asking for a review so I guess I'll do it. Great RTS game. Easy to play but also really fun to play. I REALLY like how the fighting is (especially when your castle is being sieged). A little bit glitchy but only a little bit. Would recommend to anyone ( but you should probably buy it on sale).
