It's basically the same plus two shitty gimmicks:
One of the gimmicks is this mercenary post which is on the maps by default and churns a certain unit or units for free, limitless, until you destroy it and 9 times out of 10 it's the enemy that owns one or several of these, so he can just swarm you with fucking unlimited soldiers which he's getting for free without doing anything.
The other is a bunch of powers that you get every X amount of time, the more you wait for this bar to load the more powerful powers you can use, they range from a volley of arrows to a certain area to a bonus of 2k money or a bunch of maceman appearing wherever you wish, with the last and most powerful being a volley of rocks that basically wipe out everything within their range. The powers themselves aren't that bad weren't it for the fact only you can use them and some are fucking overpowered.
Gameplay wise it bumps the limit of units you can have on a map from 3k to 10k, and that is the only good thing it has going for it because the new campaign is shitty because of the reasons I mentioned above, and it has like 1/4th of the maps the standard version has.
tl;dr don't bother with crusader extreme unless you like hitting your balls with a hammer
