I now remember the top 3 reasons why i love Stronghold Crusader.
1: The rat.
|
Rattus Patheticus |
Ah, Duc de puce. A cowardly, sniveling little bastard who runs an impoverished kingdom. (quite literally, since he's the illegitimate son of the former Duc de puce) His tactics suck, his micromanagement is even worse, and in combat you can beat him with less than 20 archers.
I do love hearing him beg for his life each time you successfully kill even one of his pathetic little peasants.
2: Setting fire to enemy castles.

Now that's a bloody army. | |

Charging at an enemy castle using 500 slaves equipped with torches after using a few catapults to demolish their walls never gets old. A few of them set fire to one of the crowded houses and everything goes up in flames, including all their military units that they spent so much time and money on completing. MAGNIFICENT FIRE FOR ALL!
3: The online multiplayer
It never gets old to go online, find a game where the gold is set to 10.000 or above, build a market, buy lots of wood, then make 20 catapults and rape the enemy castles. Of course, after this you have to build a few hundreds of slaves and SET GLORIOUS FIRE TO THE ENEMY! LET IT FUCKING BURN!
The only downside to all of this of course is that you tend to get quite addicted to the game.
