Stronghold Crusader 2 – Meet the Sultana

Firefly Studios reveals an all-new character called the Sultana to Stronghold Crusader 2 in this three-and-a-half minute video for the RTS set to arrive on 23 September on the PC. The clip stars off with the developers talking about trying to keep the characters and theme historically accurate, with the locals perceived as freedom fighters against the invading Crusader force.

The Sultana appears to be one who relies on distraction and flanking tactics to take the enemy by surprise, usually preferring to deploy assassins to scale the walls of a castle and infiltrate it, using the units camouflage ability to reach the Lord of the stronghold and eliminate him, which means that placing archers on the walls and towers is probably a good strategy to employ when facing her forces.
