Battles such as Nicea, Heraclea, siege of Antioch, Krak des Chevaliers and the Siege of Jerusalem all feature, as do the Crusader Trails from the Stronghold Warchest and Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Stronghold Crusader HD features several campaigns documenting the First, Second and Third Crusades, as well as conflicts within the individual Crusader states. Lead a determined group of Crusaders, forged by centuries of barbaric warfare, amidst the haze of the desert heat then fight for your freedom as the mighty Saladin. If you want to find more players to play with, I would suggest to you find players on community forums like this one.Relive the historic Crusades as Richard the Lionheart and the Saladin, Sultan of Syria. If you are not finding the game being hosted by your friend, then your, or hosts Stronghold Crusader game is being blocked by firewall, so you should unblock it.Īlso, I believe it would be the best for host to be the one with best internet connection - I don't know exactly how it works. then you can choose a map and everything, and start the game.

after the game of the host has been found, click JOIN again.

others should type the IP address of the host, and click JOIN.

the one who wants to be the host should type his IP address and send it to others - the he can click HOST (have a look at the picture below).

This is what you should do (and your friends which you would like to play with): It is possible to play Crusader without GameRanger using with Internet TCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay (no application needed - it all works directly from the game), although this way it will be harder for you to find some opponents. If you are facing any problems with GameRanger, this is how you can play Stronghold Crusader in multiplayer with no such multiplayer client.
