Wait a second. Was 9/11 in 2002 also? That is UNFORTUNATE timing for the release of a game where Crusaders fight Arabians. Particularly since the kamikaze pilots brought death to the infidels. The ultimate goal of Al Qaeda is to return the Caliphate to power in the middle east, incidentally.

Damn it Firefly studios had always been the top in terms of quality for this era. They were truly ahead of their time with stronghold & stronghold crusader series. I can still remember Stronghold 2 trailer & demo release back in 2005. It had an awesome mini tower defense game using archers & swordsman against melee units among with some thumbnails and adorable soundtracks. I couldn't wait for it's official release. Was truly a high quality masterpiece

I think as the game suggests Frederick and Philip weren't supposed to be in the game, rather a expansion disk or similar as it says you bought at a retailer and would get in game. I think both were part of first DLC characters Firefly offered [until Warchest trails that is] Tho its a shame Servant got cut. Considering he has a lot of in game lines [think he has pretty much ever line in the game considering he replaces original 4 chars for Allies and rarely enemy speeches] it could be possible to 'recreate' him, tho we won't know what his original building and attack style was unless Firefly reveals it.

Hey, I used to dig up in their files. There’s some more unused content like this. If I recall right Stronghold released two demos (the second one was a multi‐player one which I’ve never tried), but the first one featured a prototype design of the Pig, who was covering his head in a chainmail. However only one of his .bik animations was available. This is somewhat similar to that Saladin you see here, in unusual cyan colour. King Philip, Emperor Frederick and the Sheriff were originally released before Stronghold Warchest (a Stronghold Crusader add‐on adding new scenarios, second skirmish trail and AI lords, packed together with Stronghold Deluxe which added King Arthur scenarios to it), as a downloadable content to Stronghold Crusader. Those Arthurian scenarios were also released in a very similar way to the original game. Stronghold Heavens used to contain a utility which would let you view Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader/Stronghold Warchest files, if you opened the file where portraits of the lords were stored, one additional one was showing up, depicting that crusader in a helmet from the intro and skirmish trail (which I’ve always assumed to just have been Emperor Frederick), I always wanted to ask Firefly Studios if it was merely a placeholder, or something more.

Shields have a radius around them, if they're too far away from a unit they can't protect. Sometimes you might end up putting the shield too close the one edge of the tower and units from the other edge would still die Also welcome to the channel! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos
