Crusaders: Battle for Outremer

Crusaders: Battle for Outremer is a cancelled PC game by Black Cactus. It was a RTS game set after the Second Crusade (1150-1250).

Plot
You play as a humble Crusader. Your quest is to become the King of Jerusalem. To achieve this you'll need to be diplomatic, economical, and militaristic.



Gameplay
The game was to be more about empire building than massive battles a la the Total War series. The battles would be small but reliant on terrain advantage, like hills and cliffs. Battles would comprise of around 100-150 troops.

Crusaders was to be as historically accurate as possible. With building your city you would need to take into account hygiene like a Sim City game.



Cancellation


Crusaders: Battle for Outremer was cancelled when the publisher Wanadoo wasn't interested in it. By August 2003 Black Cactus removed Crusaders: Battle for Outremer from their website. The only games Black Cactus released were the Warrior Kings games.
