Honestly, I'm not very familiar with Firefly Studios' PC real-time strategy title Stronghold: Crusaders. So when I was being given a demo of the upcoming Stronghold: Crusaders Extreme, I had absolutely no frame of reference. So rather than pretend to know what I'm talking about based on a ten minute presentation (and I have never done that ... no, really!), I'm just going to go ahead and post some screenshots and the fact sheet for the game.
But I will say this -- of the 11 games I had a chance to see at EIEIO 2008, Extreme was the only game that was based on an existing IP. If anything, you have it to give it up to Gamecock Media group for taking chances with small development houses and new properties. That's what you guys have been crying for, right?
Are there any Stronghold fans looking forward to this one?

They added quite a bit -- check the fact sheet!
Regardless, Crusader was by far the best of the series and I imagine i'll be picking this up this year. Drunken all nighter's playing this game on christmas eve is sort of my brothers and I's tradition by now.
@Nick Chester
Would have to disagree to you about them adding a lot, I think the small amount of updates would be better as a content patch online then them trying to sell it as a new game.
