Stronghold Crusader 2 is the ninth title in the Stronghold series of real-time strategy games with a medieval castle theme developed by Firefly Studios . The game was released on September 23, 2014 and is the sequel to Stronghold Crusader from 2002, which, according to chief developer Simon Bradbury, “is our favorite game, the fans' favorite game and we have waited years to finally continue playing this game To be able to work. ”In contrast to previous titles, Firefly Studios publishes this title itself.

description

Like the previously released Stronghold 3, the game uses the Havok Vision Engine . It includes some new features, such as a slave driver, new dynamic events, a new battle interface and improvements to the animation and real-time physics engines. A new feature in the series is co-op multiplayer, in which two players share control of a castle and jointly have units and resources to defeat the opponent. Stronghold Crusader 2 is released with two different historical perspectives, one from the perspective of the European crusaders and one from the perspective of the Arab resistance fighters. The game is largely based on the Skirmisch gameplay, similar to its predecessor Stronghold Crusader . As with its predecessor, this includes crusade marches in which players have to fight their way through related skirmish cards with various opponents and in different landscapes.

As in previous titles in the series, there is a full map editor that players can use to create and share their own maps. Robert Euvino, who also worked on earlier parts of the series, also composed a completely new soundtrack for the game.
