Is that an alternate piece of concept art they never used, or does gog doctor them up to avoid stepping on legal toes?
We've got artworks from Firefly Studios so I think they are ok :)
I believe that's actually the cover art from Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Its a little wierd that GOG is using it for the original Stronghold Crusader.

Because its the only true way to show Lionhearts EXTREME sneering abilities ;)
Maybe he's got a sliver in his foot! ;oP
I originally thought that GOG had gotten Extreme. Then was a little disappointed when i realized it was just the original.
Actually this art is from the original Crusader - it was probably never use in marketing because it just looks silly.
In Extreme version of this pic you can also see burning arrows etc. in the background
