About this add-on

Sound the alarm and rally to the gates! Prepare yourselves for the arrival of a mighty trail and two fresh lords - the cunning Canary and the tricksome Trader! March your way across untouched new environments and showcase the depth of your true ability against remarkable new opponents in the first major DLC for Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition.

Sibling of the fan-favourite Rat, the Canary has a similarly craven attitude, preferring to harass invading forces with traps and infernal defences. The Trader is greed personified, a depraved gold-hungry merchant who prioritises a robust economy but won’t hesitate to attack with strength when required. Vanquishing these fierce foes will ultimately take wits, courage and perhaps a healthy dose of luck.

Carve a path to glory through nine thrilling missions, each designed to stress your tactics and game knowledge. Embrace the confrontation, improve with each struggle and climb to untold levels of prestige! Battling against the sly schemes of the Canary and the powerful economies of the Trader is not for the fair-hearted. Are you prepared for it?

  • TWO NEW CPU LORDS - Each lord provides demanding strategic conflict and utilises a range of characteristic tactics.

  • NINE FORMIDABLE MISSIONS - Conquer the daunting Trail of the Jackal to achieve the ultimate victory!

  • NOVEL GAMEPLAY SCENARIOS - Fresh battlefields, unit combinations and shrewd planning will supply players with an original variety of conquest challenges!

  • WITNESS THE UNIQUE CASTLE DESIGNS, voice lines and army compositions that these vibrant new characters bring to the war front.
