Stronghold Crusader 2 on Steam. I've been a Stronghold fan since the begining. The original Stronghold was one of the first PC games I ever played. Crusader was one of the first games I ever wasted months of life addictively playing. And it's been all downhill from there. Stronghold 2 and Legends were both horrible. This was the last official patch for Stronghold Crusader Extreme before the HD upgrade. Apply the official Stronghold Legends v1.2 Patch. Replace the original STRONGHOLDLEGENDS.EXE & DRAGONFLY.DLL files with the ones from the File Archive. Updates Stronghold Legends to v1.2 with this patch. This update offers a variety of updates and fixes for the game. Such as: Freebuild Mode implemented. Stronghold Version 1.2 Version 1.2 includes many fixes & changes. For full details see the readme.txt.Download Stronghold Patch v1.2 now from the world's largest gaming download site, FilePlanet! Stronghold 3 was respectable attempt at a game, but still it fell way, way short. And then we come to this. Stronghold Crusader 2 might be one of the biggest letdowns of my gaming life. Firefly has officially ruined their Stronghold franchise. They nuetered Castle Building. They threw troops out of balance. They took the balance out of the economy. Building up your economy is so quick and lacking in challenge that its turned tedious and boring. The game almost completely lacks a . The campaigns they do have are a quick joke. And, from what I think I'm observing, All of the single player campaing content is offered as 6 dollar chunks of DLC. It shouldn't matter though, because stronghold is all about skirmishes right? Well they've screwed that up aswell. Even the maps that echo some of my favorite Crusader maps are completely ruined. The only maps that are any good are player made, and at least we get workshop to facilitate that(this might be the ONLY thing you could call an improvement over the original crusader). Seige equipment and the whole . Seige units suck and their too expensive, but simultaniously present themselves as the only way to take on a well built castle which leads me to another thing. You produce way too much, and way too quickly, for the frankly tiny troop caps ive experienced so far. I was, in my second attempt at a skirmish, able to produce enough resources to churn out armies as big as the 2. And yet that same army doesn't stand a chance against even a computer oponent unless you pick at them with archers and seige quipment for 1. Which the latter makes sense, but if I'm producing resource as quickly as I am, I want to be able to use them to throw 2- 3. In short, don't buy it, even if you want to complete your steam collection like I did. You will not get 3 hours of quality entertainment out of it. And it will stain your respect for Firefly and the franchise.
