The mod adds new campaigns, including reworked versions of "Peace and War," as well as a custom map campaign. Despite significant changes, the mod retains the core mechanics of Stronghold 2, supplementing them with fresh visual and audio effects.
Join the Third Crusade, which went awry - without a king. Ally with the Sultanate and defeat the infidels. Lay siege to war-torn Europe. Play through the historical campaign. And, of course, build a strong economy centered around a majestic castle or a cozy estate, and keep the population happy in harsh conditions. The desert will present many unexpected challenges.

Localization
The mod contains a modified English interface, so if you want to keep the original game localization, open the i18n folder and in it the lang.txt file, then replace the text en-us with the name of your language. Besides English (en-us), the languages de and ru are available.
If you want to localize the game interface into other languages, open one of the .xml files in the i18n folder with a text editor. There you will see lines where the second line is the original English text and the third is your translation.

New story cutscenes are only available in English, and nothing can be done about it. To watch them separately, find the videos in the ui/video folder.
