Lead your forces into battle as either Richard the Lionheart or the Sultan of Syria in two historic single-player campaigns, with dynamic events such as tornados and locust swarms. Playing as a brutal Crusader Knight or Arabic freedom fighter, you must use a deadly array of troops and destructive siege equipment to decide the fate of the holy lands. True to its roots this new Stronghold will define old school real time strategy, combining RTS and city builder gameplay. Crusader 2 will recapture the original game’s addictive, fast-paced gameplay and authentic castle simulation.

After 12 years Stronghold returns to the deserts of the Middle East circa 1189, with a new 3D engine and realistic castle destruction powered by Havok Physics. Stronghold Crusader 2 is the long awaited sequel to Stronghold: Crusader, the original 'castle sim'.
