Stronghold Crusader Extreme (SHCE) is a re-release of Stronghold Crusader released in June 2008.
Overview[]
Crusader Extreme is a small expansion that introduces a few new mechanics and a new Skirmish Trail with 20 missions. All adversaries and missions from the Warchest edition of Stronghold Crusader have been implemented in the game.
New content[]
Two new game mechanics are introduced: outposts and the power bar for human players.
The power bar is a meter that builds up over time and provides access to special abilities. Using a power diminishes the bar, with more powerful abilities reducing the bar further than less powerful abilities. Players can unleash volleys of rocks and arrows, summon a squad of troops, acquire a stash of gold, or heal troops.
Outposts are buildings that can be pre-placed on skirmish maps. They regularly spawn different types of units (either Arab or European) for a certain player, at no cost. Outposts cannot be rebuilt and therefore players must work hard to preserve the ones they own, while destroying their enemy’s.
