Stronghold Crusader is alike the original in all respects bar the pace, which for me entirely ruins the game for me. I enjoy the pressure of having to build up your economy and military and balance the two, but to be doing so when the enemy is so close is just dumb. Strike that, it was only fun for the first 3 missions, and even then there was no true challenge, only a rush at the start and a need to use brute force to win out against the never-ending fire-pits
