00:00Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition ist noch weiter in 2026,
00:04mit 1000s von daily players und ein ever-growing selection
00:07von Custom Content in der Steam Workshop.
00:09Aber wir sind noch nicht.
00:10Manche haben sich für mehr DLCs, mehr Free Content,
00:14mehr CPU Lords und mehr Trails.
00:17Und wir sind froh, dass wir uns für zwei Major Free-Updates und Paid-DLCs haben.
00:26Aber was werden diese Updates sehen?
00:28Jaimie, bring up the roadmap.
00:33Just as with the previous Autumn and Winter updates,
00:36the 2026 Spring and Summer updates for Crusader DE
00:40will come with free new content for the base game,
00:43which will be available for all players,
00:45and an optional paid DLC.
00:48As you may have guessed, the Spring update will bloom in the next couple of months
00:52and the Summer update will arrive later this year.
00:55Sign up to our email list or follow our Steam page and socials,
00:59so you can keep up to date on the game's post-launch content
01:02and get notified when we announce the exact release date.
01:06We have loved seeing how much the Stronghold community has embraced
01:10the brand new co-op trails in Crusader DE,
01:13a first time addition for the series.
01:15So, we are happy to announce that our designers are crafting
01:18two more challenging co-op trails for you to take on with your besieging bestie,
01:23or, if your friends are all busy like mine seem to be,
01:26your favourite CPU ally.
01:28Both of these trails will be completely free for all players.
01:31You'll also find more grand vistas to build and battle on,
01:35as the desert lands of Stronghold Crusader expand further
01:38with new maps for skirmish, free build and multiplayer.
01:42We'll aim to include a nice variety of maps for you to conquer,
01:45as we understand there's a lot of different kinds of Stronghold players out there.
01:48Some will be more deathmatch-focused, others will be more resource-heavy.
01:52You get the idea.
01:54Battling and besieging of all shapes and sizes.
01:57These three major updates will each be paired with a separate DLC,
02:00which you'll be able to get from the Steam store,
02:03just like the Canarian Trader and the Sergeant and Lioness DLCs from previous updates.
02:09Now, the Stronghold community has always been upfront
02:11with their feedback on our new releases and features,
02:14and Crusader DE is no different, which we are very grateful for.
02:17After the last two DLCs, we received a lot of comments that,
02:22while you enjoyed the new CPU Lords and Ladies, you still wanted even harder opponents.
02:28So, with that in mind, we absolutely intend to boost the difficulty for this next batch of enemy CPUs,
02:34however, we also acknowledge that there'll always be some Stronghold Pros out there
02:38with the experience to take them down.
02:40Can you guys just stop being so good at Stronghold?
02:43But don't forget that the newly released Castle and CPU Lord Editor allows you to design your
02:48own custom Lords and edit existing ones too,
02:51so you can create your ideal CPU rival with whatever stats you like.
02:55The world is your oyster.
02:58In the Spring Update, you'll encounter Bullseye,
03:01a humble soldier who you may recognise as the bearer of both good and bad news during your previous campaigns.
03:08Now given a command of his own, this loyal trooper prioritises defence above all,
03:13and guards his castle with a robust battalion of crossbowmen.
03:17Which, if the Crusader multiplayer scene is any indicator, means he's basically following the meta.
03:23So, you know, you've noticed that. You're also a good one.
03:28Bullseye will be joined by an iconic character which we know a lot of you will be very excited about.
03:34The endlessly requested Leper King of Jerusalem himself, Baldwin.
03:39Inspired by the historic ruler of the Crusades and the iconic Deuteronists in 2005's Kingdom of Heaven,
03:46Baldwin governs his territory with stoic wisdom despite his young age and disabling condition.
03:51His army boasts a blend of devoted Crusader soldiers and Bedouin mercenaries,
03:56and his thick walled fortresses present a daunting task for those who would dare to siege him.
04:02Looking ahead to the Summer Update, the fourth DLC will introduce the Surgeon and Baibars to the CPU roster.
04:09Now we can't show you too much of these two lords just yet,
04:12but we can tell you that the Surgeon is a healer who excels in economic stability and great defensive strength.
04:19While the slave turned Sultan Baibars is a ruthless and powerful Mamluk ruler,
04:24who attacks with ferocity in his desire to succeed.
04:27Our devs are hard at work training up these fledgling lords to become fearsome foes,
04:32but we are really excited to share these four new CPU opponents with you in-game later this year.
04:38You'll be able to test your siege mastery against these new lords in two brand new Sands of Time Skirmish
04:45trails.
04:45The Trail of the Eagle and The Trail of the Vulture will have nine missions each,
04:51and feature a mix of familiar landscapes and fresh battlefields.
04:55As always, these trails are intended to test the best stronghold players among us,
04:59forged in the fires of our development PCs to draw out the best strategies from our community.
05:05So for when the time comes to dive into these testing trails, good luck!
05:11We hope you're just as excited as we are about our plans for post-release content for Stronghold Crusader
05:17Definitive Edition. You can wishlist the Baldwin and Bullseye DLC right now on Steam.
05:22All of your feedback over the past few months has helped us design something that aims to satisfy
05:27all players and nicely round things off for Crusader DE's first anniversary in July.
05:32But if you're after even more unique Crusader content, we recently expanded the Steam Workshop
05:37to include custom CPU loads, castles and trails created by the community.
05:42So why not head over to Steam and give them a try?
