Today's Bundle Stars Star deal - HD version of this medieval RTS. 90% off versus Steam price: http://store.steampowered.com/app/40970/
Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.
Journey to distant Arabian lands renowned for brave warriors and fearsome weaponry in Stronghold Crusader HD. The highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Stronghold, Crusader throws you into historic RTS battles from the Crusades with fiendish AI opponents, new units, 4 historical campaigns and over 100 unique skirmish missions.
With new high resolution graphics you have more control over your soldiers than ever before. The new HD battlefield view allows you to zoom out and play in real-time, with the whole map on one screen. Advance on the castle gates while flanking the enemy from behind, feign retreat and lead your foe into a deadly trap or just sit back and watch the destruction unfold.
Relive the historic First, Second and Third Crusades as Richard the Lionheart and the Saladin, Sultan of Syria. Lead a determined group of Crusaders, forged by centuries of barbaric warfare, amidst the haze of the desert heat then fight for your freedom as the mighty Saladin. Battles such as Nicea, Heraclea, siege of Antioch, Krak des Chevaliers and the Siege of Jerusalem all feature, as do the Crusader Trails from the Stronghold Warchest and Stronghold Crusader Extreme.
Both Stronghold Crusader and Stronghold Crusader Extreme are included in Stronghold Crusader HD. Extreme plays exactly like the original Stronghold Crusader, but the unit cap has been increased from 1000 to a staggering 10,000 troops; special Tactical Powers such as the Arrow Volley can be used; and new buildings make their appearance alongside the Crusader Extreme skirmish trail.
Key Features:
Join the Crusaders or the Saladin’s forces in 4 historical campaigns.
Fight through 100 unique skirmish missions, each one more challenging than the last.
Design and build your desert fortress, with a working economy and brutal killing zones.
Command new units with unique abilities, such as the stealthy Assassin and nimble Horse Archer.
Create your own custom scenarios with the robust Map Editor
Epic multiplayer mayhem with support for up to 8 players
High resolution graphics allow you to view the entire map on a single screen.
Steam Cloud support for saved games.
