FireFly Studios' Stronghold Crusader

Description

The game lets you step into the shoes of either the legendary Richard the Lionheart or the formidable Saladin. A mix of real-time strategy and city-building games, the game's desert setting requires strategies customised to the environment and its lack of water. There are 50 skirmish missions to be fought in sequence, as well as map and scenario editors. The 25 units include assassins, archers and fire throwers, and (in something of an anachronism) allow for suicidal charges.

As with the original Stronghold, Crusader includes a scenario editor and enables up to 8 computer in multiplayer via LAN or over the Internet.
