Game Overview
Stronghold Crusader is an online strategy game with isometric view, where the player will become a cruel Crusader ruler to conquer half of the world and make a paradise life for his own soldiers. The user needs to prove his skills as a manager and warlord. Siege foreign castles or fight in the open field.
Built a paradise out of dirt and sticks
The player starts virtually on the bare ground:
- A few peasants
- A handful of unhewn stones
- A pile of wood
- A meager pantry
You must create the infrastructure for life and development in as little time as possible to build a strong economy. Go chopping wood and creating quarries to get building materials for city buildings. Fortresses, stores, and forges can all be erected. Grow food: in gardens, slaughterhouses, and fields. Subordinates must be fed, then they work well. Build:
- Churches - will assuage mental anguish
- A drinking house will allow for forgetfulness
- Parks for walking
Gameplay
In Crusade mode, the player tries to outdo the 7 warlords and city founders. The player's goal is to build a city and storm other people's castles. Infinitely capture the land is not possible - you'll get caught in the dangerous territory of powerful rulers.
The player can control different types of units. Archers, for example, are very vulnerable at close range and in the open field. They are great for elaborate defense, play from the landscape, and castle fortifications. Create a small squad of archers and take them to a safe distance, fiery arrows help turn huge buildings into mountains of ash.
Besides usual warriors with swords and shields, there are Assassins - stealthy assassins, who secretly penetrate into the enemy's castle and open the doors from the inside.
Advice for beginners - before you rush into battle, go through twenty training missions, they will help prepare for management and survival.
Stronghold Crusader is an excellent strategy game for fans of the Middle Ages. We recommend it to fans of Age of Empires and Dota 2.
