Gale writes - "Stronghold Crusader 2 is definitely not as good as the original Crusader was, back in the day. It is, however, moving in the right direction (as far away from Stronghold 3 as is humanely possible). I’d say the dev needs a brand new engine for the following Stronghold game, as this one simply isn’t cut out for the trick, and no diseased cow-catapulting can fix that. Thankfully, this game can easily ensnare an avid RTS player with its well-balanced combat and interesting city-building, so not everything is lost by using this engine."
