Also included is information on new features not seen in Crusader 1, why we are so focused on Skirmish Mode and a not-so-subtle hint about when you will be able to see more of the game...

We would like to say a massive "Thank You!" to everyone listening to us on SoundCloud, where we recently surpassed 60,000 plays of music from the official soundtracks of Stronghold, Stronghold: Crusader and Space Colony.

If you were unaware of our SoundCloud page we can be found via the link below. Funnily enough our most popular track seems to be "A Pane in the Glass", with 4 Stronghold: Crusader tracks in the Top 5!
