Stronghold Crusader 2's developers Firefly Studios just explained why their newest castle building RTS game has been delayed for nearly a monthm to September 23 from its previous date of September 2. Their reasons are pretty valid!

"Over the past two years we have stuck to our mantra that the sequel to Stronghold Crusader will be 'ready when it's ready' and, although we hate having to delay the release, this is the best course of action for everyone," said Firefly Studios Creative Director Simon Bradbury. "Our closed beta gave us vital feedback from the Stronghold community and the Crusader 2 team feels that the game needs more polish before we release it. We love being in control of our own destiny, unlike with Stronghold 3, and not being forced to release a game too early."
"In the bad old days, release dates were sacrosanct and publishers could force developers to ship even if we were not happy with the game. Now we're in a much stronger position. Our partners, Mastertronic and Koch Media, have been very supportive and we have decided to release a better game on September 23rd."

"We want to make the best ever 3D Stronghold game, something we're completely happy with that lives up to the legacy of the first Crusader. By postponing the launch date we can invest time and money in return for extra polish, optimisation and bug fixes, creating a game we are proud to release."
Stronghold Crusader 2 can still be pre-ordered on Steam for 10% off right here.
