Firefly Studios has released a new piece of DLC for its castle besieging strategy game Stronghold Crusader 2, adding new single-player missions, two AI opponents, and new castle designs.
The Princess & The Pig adds the two titular AI opponents, both designed to test out your skills in very different ways. The Pig returns from the original Stronghold Crusader, while the Princess is a new character.
The former is a brigand who likes to tempt players in with apparent weak points, then fill them full of crossbow bolts from heavily defended towers. The Princess prefers to fling money at her problems, attacking the player early on with advanced siege units and mass infantry assaults.
I’ve not actually got around to playing Stronghold Crusader 2myself, but I quite like the focus on unique AI commanders – too often in RTS games every AI plays pretty much the same. Oh look, we gave the game an eight out of ten. It must be good!
The Princess & The Pig is currently on offer for 33% off on Steam until March 27.
