Crusader Trail – A unique set of 50 linked missions that will test your strategy skills to the breaking point.

The core play mode is a historical campaign that is comprised of four historical campaigns where you can take control over Crusaders and Saladin’s forces.Stronghold Crusader features several modes of play. The success of the core Stronghold franchise enabled this middle-eastern spinoff to receive fully-featured sequel more than a decade since the premiere of Stronghold Crusader. The popular multiplayer from the original Stronghold returns, with expanded options for larger battles, more special powers, and more modes of play, enabling players to set in motion up to 10 thousand troops inside a single match. In this game, they are separated into two groups – European and Arabian lords. As in the original game, the battlefield can be severely impacted by the presence of unique historic characters. Brand new mercenary units featuring a wide array of Arabian units can be purchased from mercenary posts. While the building, maintaining and reinforcing your fortresses and strongholds can lead to victory, to successfully win battles, you will have to take care, organize, micromanage and set supply paths not only for your warriors and military equipment, but also food producers, merchants, craftsmen, weaponsmiths, and the rest of population of your medieval settlements.

The core gameplay loop of Stronghold: Crusader closely follows the systems set in its predecessors, with numerous changes being placed because of the move of the game setting from fertile Europe to the deserts of the Middle East.

During the extensive singleplayer campaign of Stronghold Crusader, you will be able to reenact the largest battles of First, Second and Third Crusade, take control over the military leaders such as Richard the Lionheart and the Saladin, Sultan of Syria, and find a way to victory in the battles of Nicea, Heraclea, the siege of Antioch, Krak des Chevaliers and the famous Siege of Jerusalem. This eagerly anticipated sequel moved the stage from the medieval sieges of kings and their armies to the historic conflict in the middle east – the famous Crusades.

Stronghold Crusader is a sequel to a surprise strategy and simulation hit Stronghold from 2001.
