In the original game, fertile land was abundant. In Crusader , fertile land is a scarce resource. You cannot simply plop down a wheat farm anywhere; you must fight for the scarce patches of green "oasis" grass on the map. This geographical tension forces conflict earlier in the game. In version 1.3, the balance of resource gathering—specifically the speed at which wood is harvested versus stone—is tuned tightly. Players must decide quickly: do you turtle behind thick walls, or do you rush the oases to starve your opponent?
