Sounds great IMO, since I am a big fan of the total war series this hsould be fun as well.

Well I expected a very big amount of replies here.

 

The Stronghold: Crusader was the most popular Stronghold ever.

It was so popular in Lithuania back in the days, expected that people worldwide would be interested, guess not.

I do remember playing it when I was like, 7-8. A VERY, VERY good game. The 1st part is the best, other are just useless.

Yeah, the moment I noticed that it's being developed I thought I am going to cry.

 

Crusader was always the best game in the series, I tried all the other Stronghold's, all of them. None could be compared to Crusader, amazing game.

Never played Stronghold. Was too busy with Starcraft and what not.

It's sad to see this thread getting and getting more below, so I decided to bump it with a little interview with one of the developers.
