After recent updates. Games outright cheats. Ai will throw WAY more gold than they can physically posses. Spawn troops from nothing directly ontop of their lord. Artifical difficulty gives it a bit more push from the AI. But the gameplay is still at its core the same stronghold its always been.
Stronghold Crusader 2 is a nice game. I’ve tried to understand and learn this game so many times, but honestly, I just never could. 😂 The game has a lot of depth, and I can see why people love it, but for me it was always difficult to understand what I was supposed to do and how everything worked together. Maybe one day I’ll finally figure it out… but until then, I’m just going to accept that Stronghold Crusader 2 has defeated me. 😂
