About Stronghold Crusader HD

Stronghold Crusader HD takes you to distant Arabian lands famed for brave warriors and fearsome weaponry. As the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Stronghold, Crusader throws you into historic battles from the Crusades against fiendish AI opponents, complete with new units, 4 historical campaigns and over 100 unique skirmish missions to conquer.

You relive the Crusades as both Richard the Lionheart and Saladin, Sultan of Syria, leading a determined band of Crusaders forged by centuries of warfare through the shimmering desert heat, then fighting for freedom as the mighty Saladin. Several campaigns document the First, Second and Third Crusades along with conflicts among the Crusader states, featuring battles like Nicea, Heraclea, the siege of Antioch, Krak des Chevaliers and the Siege of Jerusalem, plus Crusader Trails drawn from the Stronghold Warchest and Stronghold Crusader Extreme.

New high-resolution graphics grant more control over your soldiers than ever, and the HD battlefield view lets you zoom out and play in real time with the whole map on one screen. You can advance on the gates while flanking from behind, feign retreat to lure foes into a trap, or simply watch the destruction unfold. Both Stronghold Crusader and Crusader Extreme are included, making this simulation-strategy package a generous classic on PC.
