Firefly has announced the final downloadable content that the studio will be releasing for their castle strategy sim Stronghold Crusader 2. Four free skirmish maps were released as well.
The developer announced on the official site, “As a team we’re very happy with the reaction and feedback from Stronghold players over the past year. Stronghold Crusader 2 was an important step forward for the series and we intend to build on that progress in future games.” They then announced that they would be working on releasing Stronghold Kingdoms on iOS and Android in 2016.
The two new “mini-campaigns,” Delivering Justice and Freedom Fighters, each cost 99 cents, and are called ”standalone DLC” by the developer. In addition, four new skirmish maps have been added, including:
- Ruins – Just like in the very best 80s boxing movies it’s East vs West in ‘Ruins’. The map’s unique setup provides up to four players with a reliable source of Stone, but leave the elevated centre uncontested and even the mightiest walls will crumble.
- Mirage – All eight players must cross the great desert to reach fertile grasslands and enemy castles. Be quick! Unlike your typical mirage the aforementioned castles and armies within can definitely kill you, if left undisturbed.
- Three Rivers – The turtling player’s dream! Up to three castles stand high atop its very own hill, providing strong natural defences. Resources on the other hand lay scattered about the map in strategically vulnerable locations, so be prepared to fight over those village estates.
- The Fork – Your keep is on a mountain at the conflux of two great rivers. This provides plenty of opportunities to make the rivers run red with blood, just like in Revelation 16:4. Venture outwards to discover plentiful resources before testing your castle design with a few AI sieges.
