PC Game Covering The Crusades?

Wow I really thought there had to be something out there I didn't know about. I guess I was too hasty in uninstalling M2TW.

I have a small strategy indie game set in the times of the Crusades but it isn't really good. Have to check at home how it's called but i guess it's hard to find anyway (old and not great). Something like a board game.

Not really a ringing endorsement there but I'm curious what it is.

I found a video...don't know how hard it is to find it.

In the comments, there's a link to a downable version of the game (and it seems with some fixes). Will test it (i do have the original dvd at home).

I can't see your video above :/

Fixed link. O0

Heh - the video is in German?

Anguille · July 21, 2017, 10:34:29 AM

Yeah, the game seems to be a german product though it seems to have different languages (English as well).

PS: thanks for fixing the link.

I could have sworn I'd played an RTS yonks ago that had The Crusades in it, somewhere.. but racking my brain all I keep coming up against are

Praetorians, Warrior Kings and Celtic Kings... hmmm.

Think!!

JasonPratt · July 21, 2017, 08:27:32 PM

Well, it wasn't Warrior Kings, or at least not the upgrade/remake/sequel Warrior Kings: Battles. That's a rather fun 3D RTS on godawful huge maps, with medieval flavor, but it isn't the crusades. It's more like paladins vs pagans.

Praetorians was Roman, obvs, and I think so was Celtic Kings from the same group. (Also Nemesis of the Roman Empire.)

I reloaded Medieval 2 TW :/

The king's crusade is decent its fun for few hours only. I can suggest you a Northern Crusade if it interests you: Real Warfare 2 Northern Crusade http://store.steampowered.com/app/202860

The developer folded before they finished patching it, unfortunately.

Had such potential, too. :-\

Knights of Honor is also still there.... ;)

This would be my call as well. Very under-rated title, surprising in its complexity and playability.
