Seven new single-player missions, two new AI opponents, new castle designs and achievements are now available with The Emperor and The Hermit DLC for Stronghold Crusader 2. It’s 33% off during launch week.
This new content adds ‘spiritual successors’ to The Emperor and The Abbot from the original Stronghold Crusader. This is an expansion adding two new religiously zealous leaders.
”Playable in skirmish mode and multiplayer The Emperor and The Hermit are leaders driven by religious fervour and an insatiable desire to ‘cleanse’ their enemies. Backed by zealots who follow their cause without question, said cleansing typically ends in virtual bloodshed.”

The Emperor
Originally from Germany, The Emperor was once a high-profile religious figure revered worldwide. Excommunicated from the Church and disgraced in the eyes of his former followers, The Emperor now leads a splinter group of fanatics who believe him chosen by God to guide them in the holy land. Having abandoned any sense of religious obligation to his fellow man, The Emperor will stop at nothing to reclaim his former power and authority.
The Hermit
Subject to a heavily religious upbringing in lands that are now being used as a battleground, The Hermit is negatively disposed toward the invading Crusader hordes. The Hermit is a departure for Stronghold with no preordained authority, royal lineage, military background or house to act as a status symbol. What he does control is an army of religious zealots, equally angry about the invasion and out for Crusader blood as their leader. For these men the idea of following The Hermit in his counter-crusade against Richard is a most noble cause.
Stronghold Crusader 2: The Emperor & The Hermit is available now through Steam for £2.67 / $4.01 / €3.34.
