There is an element of education revealing what life was like in those early days, the battles and seige machines will probably appeal to those interested in battles. There are two primary campaigns: The Path of Peace, and The Path of War in addition to a brief tutorial. Peasants must be given jobs to work for the betterment of the village and accomplishment of the players goals.
STRONGHOLD CRUSADER II SERIES
This game, one in a series of very similar medieval games from Firefly Studios, was released in the late 90s and the 3D animation is fair. However, the big picture of the game involves empire building and property/resource management to enhance the capabilities of your castle for the end game element: battle. , hanging, and beheading) involved in correcting/warning criminals as was consistent with the period. One thing they missed is the prisoner torture (stocks, stretching rack, gibbet. I think in the age of Steam games and cheaper digital downloads, Stronghold Crusader 2 feels a bit light for it's $50 price tag, but none the less is a solid and engaging title.Common Sense is on target with their rating of the categories. Luckily you can break things up with a sandbox mode that allows you to play LEGO castle builder until your heart's content. While there's quite a few missions available to play, it all boils down to basically the same skirmish style of gameplay. Overall I've found Stronghold Crusader 2 a great strategy game with plenty of payoff moments and a fun co-op mode that also helps people learn the ropes of the game. I've seen some path finding issues and just plainly weird AI choices in their strategy.
STRONGHOLD CRUSADER II PATCH
I ran into multiple quirky bugs too, though there's already been one patch released and I've seen several fixed. While it touts many different types of AI opponents, I haven't seen much difference other than their castle setup, what kind of troops and when they'll send them to attack. While I've been having a lot of fun with Stronghold Crusader 2, the game isn't without its problems. Overall co-op is a ton of fun and for more complex skirmish missions against multiple opponents it's a great way to make it more manageable and less chaotic. I think the only change I would have liked to see for co-op would be my partner's mouse cursor, though there is some slight feedback when they complete an action. The game gives no limits to who can control what, so you can easily switch off duties, take control of individual troops or units, and do just about whatever you want.
Perhaps it was better to buy more instead of wait for them to be made, I'd leave the decision up to my partner because I was too busy worrying about breaking down the first line of defense in the enemy and didn't want to scroll back to town. If I'd hit a wall while building troops, I'd ask what the status was on the weapon required. In the co-op games I played we tended to call out what the plans were and figure out the resources required. What ends up happening is a division of labor where one player can focus on keeping peasants happy and supplied as well as building up the defenses, while another can work on building the army and attacking. The second and more interesting way is two players teamed up controlling one keep.
The first is more traditional comp stomp where each player has their own keep and army but they are teamed up together.
While you can't play the campaign missions in co-op, yet, you can recreate them in the game's skirmish mode.
