About Stronghold Crusader 2

Stronghold Crusader 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the original castle sim, Stronghold: Crusader. After 12 years, the game returns to the deserts of the Middle East circa 1189 with a new 3D engine and realistic castle destruction powered by Havok Physics. It recaptures the addictive, fast-paced gameplay and authentic castle simulation that made the original a classic.

True to its roots, this new Stronghold defines old-school real-time strategy, combining RTS and city builder gameplay. You play as a brutal Crusader Knight or Arabic freedom fighter, using a deadly array of troops and destructive siege equipment to decide the fate of the holy lands. Lead your forces as Richard the Lionheart or the Sultan of Syria in two historic single-player campaigns with dynamic events like tornados and locust swarms.

Become the greatest Lord by managing your desert economy and seizing control of vital oases. To dominate the battlefield, you must command over 25 unique unit types, mastering their special abilities. Raise morale with the Sergeant at Arms, charge with the Sassanid Knight, launch arrow volleys with Archers, or scale castle walls with the deadly Assassin.

Once your skills are perfected, put them to the test in skirmish mode or take the battle online with up to eight human and AI players. Create teams, choose different AI opponents, and design your own map in the ultimate skirmish or multiplayer game. Features include building the ultimate castle with fiendish traps, co-op play, and a castle sandbox mode.

Stronghold Crusader 2 offers a wide range of AI lords, each with distinct personalities, castles, and play styles. Challenge the Crusader Trail across increasingly tough skirmish campaigns. The game also includes a Map Editor and Free Build mode for constructing the ultimate castle without fear of attack.

  • Build the ultimate castle with traps and defenses
  • Over 25 unique unit types with special abilities
  • Two historic single-player campaigns
  • 8-player multiplayer with mix of human and AI
  • Co-op mode for shared castle building and troop control
