Stronghold Crusader Extreme

Stronghold Crusader Extreme takes the addictive Crusader gameplay to a new level. Featuring massive battles, new outposts and tactical powers to master, Extreme carries on from where Crusader left off. The all-new Extreme trail will provide a stiff challenge to any hardened Crusader player. For those new to Crusader, the original game has been provided too, in an updated form and with all the previously released limited-edition content, such as the second crusader trail and all eight new AI opponents.

Stronghold Crusader is one of the best RTS game. It consists many
smart-use units, you have to think harder not only for the combat-units,
but also the economic systems and reputation. They will need so many
micromanagements, because this game is so detailed. You will not only
enjoy the combat, but also the castle and civilian constructions (It is
said that Stronghold Crusader is a Castle Sim). It's nice to see your
people and buildings working, it's also nice to see enemy's people and
buildings burning to ash. There is no shroud or fog of war in this game
(none sort of thing covers enemy's base from your view and vice versa),
but you will still need to be careful, the game may end quick but may
also end in a very long run.

The game probably ends quickly, because of any small but fatal mistake
done by the loser. It's right!!! I've ever seen my friend lost a Multiplayer
game because of 1 SLAVE!!!! He forgot to put a well or water pot in his base.
The enemy threw a group of 5 slaves to his Quarry. His archers successfully
kill the slaves... but wait!!! There was 1 slave remained alive and set fire
to his Quarry. The fire spread outside of his castle burning down half of
his farms, and finally spread into his castle. It was too late to build any
well or water pot. He lost the game in no longer than 12 minutes.
The game ends in the long game. It's because both persistent sides have
already many fortifications in each castle, but they do not use their
units well. They attack with many conventional ways to each other, without
considering any alternative strategy and attack method.
