Here's a pair of Stronghold Crusader Extreme screenshots that go with today's announcement of Stronghold Crusader Extreme by Firefly Studios and Gamecock Media Group. Fans of Firefly's RTS series might be pleased to know that this title can feature up to 10,000 units on screen, tiny units indeed. Expect it to ship in May.

"Stronghold fans demand the most from their RTS and simulation games, and Firefly delivers once again," said Harry Miller, el Presidente of Gamecock Media Group. "Crusader Extreme steps up and delivers medieval Mayhem on a scale previously unseen in the series. Firefly has nurtured their baby into a true, manic adult."

"Working with Firefly in the Gathering days was awesome. It was great to see a developer own and live off its IP," said Mike Wilson, Grand Champeen of Gamecock Media Group. "Even better is that’s they've come back to us now with the continuation of the series, which is concrete evidence that the relationship based model works. You don't have to own or control a developer or their IP to have an ongoing relationship and mutual benefit of a hit franchise."
