    An all-new character to the Stronghold universe, the Sultana continues the series' tradition of historically accurate characters with a touch of creative flair. Part of the game's thematic fight for freedom against the invading Crusader hordes, the Sultana prefers deception and intelligent use of the land over brute force. Firefly’s latest developer diary walks players through the basics of the Sultana's attack, army composition and castle economy, highlighting a few effective counter strategies.

    In my opinion, Stronghold Crusader 2 would be better in classic, but improved 2D graphics, with new buildings, new units, resources, and some completely new gameplay features. I don´t get why Firefly tries to catch up with the 3D graphics, when they are (and Stronghold is) the best in simple, but amazing graphics. So sad about the evolution of one of the best strategies ever created..

    Arabs as freedom fighters against foreign invaders?
    I have nothing against Muslims today, in 2014 (other than the immigration which I am against), but get your facts correct (the guy speaking in the video)....
    The Crusades started because the Muslim rulers were harassing Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem, and oppressing the native Christian population of the Levant (in 1100, the Levant still had a Christian majority). Or, at the very least, this was the official Casus Belli - but we all know what wars are really about: to gain resources and money.
    Muslim Jihads were the same. They used "spread of the faith" as the Casus Belli, but in reality, they only wanted to gain access to the resources that were being owned by their enemies. In the end, neither the Islamic Jihads nor the Christian Crusades were about religion - in the end, it all comes down to money.
    Either way, I loved the original Stronghold Crusader, I hope this one will be good too. The graphics look rather goofy though.

    Hey ! great game. Really happy you people did such a nice comeback ! been stronghold fan since the beginning ! I can say, we are so happy with this game, 'back to basic' just how a real time stratagy/castle build should be ! THANKS A LOT !
    but I do have 1 question, Is it still possible in stronghold crusader 2 to switch your 'english' lord to a 'dessert' lord ? So that your buildings get a cultural diffrence look as well ? like the towers and the church ? I rememmber in the first game that was possible, but I haven't found the option in 2 yet.
    Thanks a lot ! and again, great game people !, be proud on your self

    I was a little skeptical about the female character at first, but the historical backup is encouraging and relieving. In addition, I was unsure about the "special attacks" of units, and worried that this may add too much of a fantasy feel to the game, however, the arrow volley and dig in moves are much more realistic than the examples provided earlier. Very excited for the game, can't wait to get my pre-order!

      Jørgen Allan Olsen You own them only that Islam is agresive. Crusaders were mostly murderers and criminals that beleved they will have their sins forgiven if they kill Islamists. On this times Islamic cities well multi relgion, as they tolereted christians and evryone else.
      Crusaders came slaughtering evryone no mater religion, check history and do not speak stupid things next time. Especialy check sige of Jerosolima and what those "hereos" did after that.
      War was not even caused by religion it was becouse of conflict of pope and Emperor. Pope decided he needs suces to win this conflict and soo he started crusade.

    It would makes sense to think the crusaders as the bad guys as the reason that some of them wouldn't go with honor and justice but would support torture, cruelty,slavery and the irony that they pretty much do things that of the opposite on what told in Christianity causing Xenophobia between the two sides having an endless repetitive crusade.
    Calling someone an heretic just because of criticism or chanting the annoying praise of Deus vault makes the facts that the reason why our religion being criticized do the faults of the western european world explain much that the masses desecrated the religion doing the irony things that they shouldn't do. Oh the hypocrisy today! same goes to the other side that they ruin the image of the one they worship the most by doing the ironic thing that Muhammad didn't agree to spread that kind of message to convert someone to there own, likely there own antichrist the dajjal must have trick some few individuals on believing it was the one who worship but too late for not realising the evil one.
    Same goes to our lord Jesus didn't wish forcing conversion among individuals that got a choice but some popes are not friendly during the crusaders times mostly cruel including the Knights that didn't get the message of jesus message of forgiveness and the rest of history of religious figures manipulated this religion with blind propaganda during the european times.
    Remember that the blood of Jesus splattered in the body of Longinus a roman soldier. Even he has change but remember that the Romans are known to be cruel during that time.
    Oh Europe what a hypocritical continent same goes to the west who where believe of using of cruel tactics of propaganda to manipulate individuals like today, same goes to the fools who think are freedom fighters but ruin there own image of such tactics.
    I call this the real life fear factor feature and looks like I spend hours writing this comment to show the fact that we humans are terrible creations of god equally.
    But why I am talking about this? I should been commenting that this game is fun to play.
