To understand the impact of the trainer, one must first understand the mechanics of its interference. A trainer for Stronghold Crusader 1.41 does not "hack" the game files on the hard drive; rather, it interacts with the Random Access Memory (RAM) while the game is running.
Warning: The Stronghold Crusader 1.41 Trainer works only for single-player (Skirmish vs. AI, Trail, or Economic Campaigns).
If you activate this trainer in a LAN or GameRanger lobby, you will immediately desync. The "Extra Quality" version disables its hooks when network traffic is detected to prevent you from ruining the game for others. Respect the community – use it for PvE only.
