Stronghold Crusader Extreme is not a new game. It's not even an expansion pack. It's a slightly updated version of the original Stronghold Crusader with some new missions added that are guaranteed to have you tearing your hair out, and that's never a good thing. This is not a cheap package, so you may want to consider your level of brand loyalty to the Stronghold series before you rush out and buy this game. It does come with both versions, (as I like to call them Normal and Impossible), in which case I would suggest newbies hunt down the original version that will be available at a discounted price. It will also be a lot easier on your sanity.

New modes, missions, items, and maps, apparently put the 'extreme' in Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Graphically, the game has not been improved in the slightest. It looks like something from the 20th century. It's presented in gloriously pixilated 2D. It's not a pretty looking game. I've seen better detail sown into a throw pillow. The maximum resolution is 1024 x 768. It's not like this game has such classic status that the original graphics are considered charming. If you're going to update an ancient game, update it to the present century. As another indication of overlooked production values, most of the communication is text-based. There is the odd voiceover in-game, but it's mostly ambient stuff such as battle cries.

Stronghold Crusader Extreme is extreme in some instances, especially the challenges, which are frustratingly difficult. They hinge on making a key decision within a short time period. This is an economic sim-style game, not an action adventure title. I am all up for challenges, but at least implement them within the structure of the gameplay genre. Whereas a good economic sim plays out with the complexity of a chess match, the 20 new missions offered here are more like puzzle elements with a time limit, not unlike a series of mini-games.

In the first mission, I have little more than a minute to gather my resources and create something to defend my kingdom before I get annihilated. There isn't enough time to go about the usual method of empire building, so you have to channel your resources into a few specific areas. The problem is it's trial and error. There is not enough information to make an educated decision. After about the tenth time I was able to pick the right combination of strategic elements and finally avert disaster. I don't consider this fun, challenging, or extreme. And don't get all high and mighty on me if you happen to guess right the first time, because all you did was guess, and that has nothing to do with strategy.

As with most games of this genre, the idea is to gather resources and use them as effectively as possible to build your empire. Unlike the current trend away from fussy micromanagement, Stronghold Crusader Extreme wallows in it, although it does so in a way that feels more natural than many of its old-school contemporaries. That's why the game enjoyed such popularity in its heyday.

Pitch Ditches can really decimate your siege forces. I've found that a combination of using cheat codes and other hints can virtually eliminate the enemy's use of pitch ditches so your pike men and mace men can fill in the moats without getting burned up. Use the '100 gold 100 popularity' cheat to give you gold so your engineers can build catapults. Use the Catapults to wipe out the towers and walls with archers. Make sure you take out any archer with access to fire before attempting to fill in the moat or your forces will be burned up. After you fill in the moat use the 'Skilled Engineers? ' hint to take out all the other towers and walls with fire archers. With the 100gold100popularity cheat you can build unlimited catapults. Just move them out of the way when you have used up all the stone. The 'Free Build' cheat might make it possible to keep using the same catapults but the cows come in handy to take out the crossbowmen after you have knocked down the towers with the catapults.

It may just be a glitch in the software, but I found out that if you withdraw your 'skilled engineers', the battering ram still works, but the enemy doesn't recognise it so you can destroy their towers and walls and gate houses at your leisure without them attacking it. The only thing is it will say, 'This devise requires skilled engineers, my lord' every time you click on a target. You won't be able to relocate it--you actually have to have it lock onto a target. Give it a shot.So far, it only works on the battering ram.

There are 4 steps to getting the ultimate defence building.
#1:use the unlimited resource cheat
#2:Build a 6x12 stone block box
#3:fill in the box with stone wall and put the fortification part of the wall around the wall block (the ripply toothy thing that makes it harder for enemy archers to hit guys on the wall)
#4:put firepots that make archer's arrows flaming arrows on the wall block
#5:build a stair case going up to the wall block
#6:get as many archer or crossbow men on to the block as possible
#7:destroy the stairs and wall off the the hole in the wall
#8: (optional) for an outpost put the strongest tower out in the area outside of your city
#9:build a 5 wall thick base around the tower and use the same concept of firepots and stairs and walls to make an outpost farther out.

During the econmy campaign (and must likly inother levels also)to keep bandits from attackingbuild a stone wall around all signpost. Makesure you completly block the signpost in. Thebandits will appear but will stand on top of thewall. Archers can then stand there on the groundand kill the bandits without taking damage, oryou can just ignore them.

If you are attacking with ranged units ie,Archers/Crossbow men i have found that if theysay, cant shoot their etc that if you aim at aguy closer and then just before they fire clickthe on out of range, they shoot the out of rangeguy, slow going, but bloody great on sieges...still stuck killing the ping, but they don`t haveany ranged units on the outer walls left :DHave fun

When bears kill civilians, your popularitydecreases. To avoid this, simply build a woodfence around a bear when it appears.
