Stronghold Crusader Official Strategy Guide

 (3 customer reviews)

Though this Guide has a new author than the Guide for the first game, it still does not offer any further insight to Crusader than did the original to Stronghold. If anything, this manual is even more lacking as it doesn't even include the 50 scenarios comprising the Crusader Trail, and offers no information on the new AI opponents you'll be going up against in the scenarios. Like the first guide, this is really nothing more than an expanded instruction booklet and not really necessary to getting the most out of Stronghold Crusader. Much of the introductory material is just a rehash of what was contained in the original, and coverage of the new features and campaigns introduced in Crusader is far less than what I would have hoped for when buying this guide. While Crusader as a game is a worthwhile sequel (and the Warchest version even more so), this accompanying Strategy Guide falls even farther short than the original guide.

Top Notch guide, April 4, 2007

I'm not a very "hard core" gamer, in that I don't enjoy spending hours and hours and hours trying to figure out on my own some of the more esoteric wrinkles in the plot or game play of my PC games. If, after reasonable effort, I find I just can't get past a certain part of a game, I like to have a Strategy Guide to refer to so that I can get things moving along again ... my ego can take it. So if you don't mind asking for help now and then, this guide will give you all you need to overcome any deficit you might have as a medieval war planner. I didn't find any part of this game I couldn't handle with this guide in hand. Very nicely done !!
