I find multiplayer games are hit and miss. Some games are laggy, others run smoothly throughout. This isn't just an issue in Crusader 2 however, all entries in the series are prone to online crashes and lag. Hopefully Firefly will integrate smoother multiplayer with their next entry Stronghold Unreal. Thanks for sharing 🙂
It would be brilliant if they did that 👍 Am not saying this is the ultimate Stronghold, just that in my view it is the most fun to play for Skirmish Mode and multiplayer. Thanks for sharing!
The 3d graphics looked better than stronghold 2 once you turned the bloom off. Still not the same as the early isometric. That aside; Pros: - Separate stockpile - Autosell and keep market - Horse archers are balanced - Units have passive abilities that change their performance - Better eco/food building chains - Oil pot throwers are a good bit more useful than crusader 1 fire throwers Cons; - Bugs: assassins pause for a long time between movements, oil tippers cant station on walls right, fire ballista's deal crazy damage in attack ground mode, war dogs dont attack enemies, etc) - War wagons are more oppressive than OG horse archers - Elevation damage reduction and evasion seems to be removed - Crossbows are even more broken - with all the changes, they kill all other ranged units too easily. Nothing other than crossbows is viable on a wall, or attacking it. - Siege towers too weak to ranged damage. - Towers in general are just useless for how fragile the are. - Fire damage seems weaker -> knights take forever to die. - Knights make all other crusader units pointless with the 94% ranged damage reduction. Whirling dervishers make all other arab units pointless with charge and aoe that kills everything - New religion system is boring - No fear factor is also boring. I did like it more than cursader 1 early on but it gets boring pretty fast when every game is a race to monocomp xbow/warwagon/knights.
Great breakdown of the pros and cons. I quite like the graphics, just feel they lack the grittiness of the original games. The game certainly isn't perfect, just my go to for skirmish games and in the video I explain why I believe that to be the case. Thanks for sharing 👍

this is fine you are allowed to be wrong
It's fine to disagree. Thanks for sharing 😊
i have problem on my game I cannot move the cursor down and right ,,,i don't know what the problem
Sorry to hear that, it sounds like an issue with your pc running the game unfortunately 👎
Love stronghold crusader 2
Thanks for sharing!
But the multiplayer is super laggy and almost always ends because of people lagging instead of skill-based wins...

@@northernstrategist27 Especially the more 3D ones I think. Yes I hope so!
if they would add full mod support it
then maybe it will be the best game
but at the state of the game stronghold 2 is the better game
It would be brilliant if they did that 👍

Cons;
- Bugs: assassins pause for a long time between movements, oil tippers cant station on walls right, fire ballista's deal crazy damage in attack ground mode, war dogs dont attack enemies, etc)
