I played the core Stronghold series (both as a kid and in more recent times), never got to try Crusader. Might have to check it out.

The only one I played as a kid was Stronghold Legends, the one based in Arthurian mythology. That game's beefy 3D engine could just barely run on my computer at the time. It would take so long to start up that the loading screen music is burned into my brain even today, and in bigger games it would stutter quite badly.

Spent way too much time building castles on this as a kid
