Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition - The Surgeon and Baibars (DLC)

This expansion is for players who have already finished the main Stronghold Crusader campaign and want something tougher. Everything here comes down to patience and reading your opponent: some lords build up their forces and wait for a mistake, while others hit you with wave after wave of attacks. The desert siege atmosphere is still there, but the challenges are sharper. What to expect: - The first hours go to learning two new computer lords, and each one needs its own tactics rather than the old playbook from earlier maps. - The Griffin Trail of nine Sands of Time missions tests whether you can change your plan on the fly once your army starts running low. - The Surgeon builds castles with plenty of towers and makes sieges last longer than usual, so rushing almost always gets punished. - The total number of rulers in the game reaches 29, giving you plenty of different opponents to experiment with after the expansion.

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition’s fourth DLC, The Surgeon and Baibars, packs the base game with even more distinctive CPU lords, each with their own novel playstyles and a dastardly new nine mission Sands of Time trail to test your nerve and wits! Come one and all, ye challengers, conquerors and would-be kings, and face the greatest strategic gauntlet yet - to overcome the merciless Sultan Baibars as well as the deadly Surgeon of the desert. The wily Surgeon is a truly master of defence, building colossal castles with a great deal of huge towers to try and keep the enemy out. Do not be deceived by his perceived passiveness - as like all great predators, he aims to let prey tire themselves before swooping in for the final move. A former slave who raised himself to the station of Sultan, Baibars is much more aggressive and direct. He forges strong basic fortresses and seeks to overwhelm his foes with waves upon waves of attacks. Crashing his forces against the walls of your stronghold, you must fight the right balance between survival and attack if you wish to succeed against him. Invoke the spirits of warriors past and charge through a series of brutal missions in the latest Sand of Time trail, The Trail of the Vulture! - UNIQUE CPU LORDS - These Lords bring a fresh creative edge to the battlefront raises the total number of Lords in the game to a colossal 29! - NINE DAUNTING NEW MISSIONS - Tear your opponents to shreds in the new Trail of the Vulture! - EMBRACE THE ART OF WAR - Adapt to fresh threats, attempt new strategies and have faith in the strength of your troops and walls! - CRUSH YOUR FOES - Each new Lord arrives with original voice lines, strategies and citadels to decimate!
