      I absolutely loved old Stronghold 1, I played also Stronghold Crusader which was also very good, but too easy. But then Stronghold 2... it had potential to be also as great as 1st one, but the game felt unfinished. Knights were totally overpowered, skirmish was unplayable because AI was too stupid, they had unfinished castles and their attacks were poor (as in Crusader, but at least their AI quite worked). I did not played any other stronghold after that :-(

    Personally I'd love a new Stronghold that used the old res graphics of the original games. I hate to see games suffer in quality in the name of newer graphics
    Give us something that feels like classic stronghold just with new content, Y'know? New buildings, new missions, new units, new AI lords
    That's why people liked Crusader. It was fundamentally the exact same experience just with more stuff and some new music and palm trees

    • @laszlobandi6456
      @laszlobandi6456 Рік тому +1

      they ruined a bunch of games trying to improve graphics. like Desperados or Aoe3. I feel like strategy works best with isometric 2d. Something like Ck3, is fancy and all but a map could look like a flat map and I would still enjoy it, old games focused on content. Even FIFA 2003, 2004 was bad, despite looking much better, only 2005 was better looking and playable. With sports is different I guess, on a big timescale it wouldn't matter but people who like gameplay would choose a roster update over an engine update. But Aoe2 was revived for that reason, it was much better than the next games. same goes for Stronghold. I never really got into it, because it looked so much worse, while trying to look better and nothing else.

    Back in late 90s my mom got me one of those magazines that came with a CD full of demo games; I remember playing a given medieval-themed RTS (can't remember the name, but until recently I thought it was Knights & Merchants) that even had cool day/night transitions and all four year seasons - which don't occur in K&M. Anyone knows what game it might have been..? Thanks in advance!

    Stronghold crusader stands out at the best because it's visually simple

    Ok firefly, this is what we want in Stronghold Warlords:
    -Please make it a more gritty realistic looking instead of this cartoonish mobile looking game, please use less colors or at least use darker shades of the same colors
    -Please make it 2D instead of 3D
    -The space button is RESERVED for the lowered walls look like in Stronghold Crusader for nostalgia's sake, make any other button enter the Warlords screen.
    -Please NO unit squads/grouping like in total war, please make each unit produced as an individual unit (like in all old school RTSs)
    -The warlords system is iffy, reminds a bit of the estates system from Stronghold 2, not 100% on board for that one, might be better to scrap it and not take risks. You already experimented with similar systems like this in other titles and it was a feature most people did not want.
    Please, listen to your fans.
    Look, you already have the winning formula, the most legendary and successful titles are Stronghold 1 and Stronghold Crusader, we want a game with those game mechanics just in a new setting with the same graphics/look/atmosphere/gameplay but just slightly improved (for example like that new mechanic you put in of being able to chose whether single units can destroy walls or not. Btw. Good job on that one! That was a good choice.)

      For me the issue with that game is that the single-player is very lackluster. Online/with friends it's great, but in singleplayer there's very few AI to choose from (only 6 comprising the whole roster, which is even more insulting when you consider the fact that you encounter 2 other fully voiced AI amidst the skirmish trail mode, yet can't play against them in custom skirmishes) and the AI design/skill level is quite weak--also, in 4 player free for alls, the AI tends to team up against the player even if they aren't formally assigned to the same team, which is annoying.

    + Cute story
    + Fear factor lets u be nice or evil lord
    - Lack of skirmish mode
    - Unrealistic size of buildings (always hated that in games)
    Stronghold Crusader
    + Addition of skirmish mode
    + Game is more challenging in terms of food production, u can build fields, orchards etc. only on grass
    - Lack of proper story campaign
    Stronghold 2
    + Buildings now have proper size and detailed interiors
    + Lots of interesting new mechanics (more castle managment, feasts, honor and more..)
    +/- Removal of fear factor
    - Campaign is goofy
    - Ugly animations
    - Ugly moats
    - Ugly wooden walls
    - Lot of maps are too tiny
    - Tf is with those spearmen voices
    Stronghold Legends
    - Feels weird
    Crusader Extreme
    + Title says everything
    Stronghold 3
    + Actually never played that but I really like the art style
    Stronghold Kingdoms
    - Don´t play these kind of games
    Crusader 2
    - Never played that too but AI castles in skirmish mode seems weak
    Warlords
    - Dissapointed like everyone else
    - Mobile game ad style graphics and shitty anims again
    - Expected Stronghold game (from the 3D era) finally done right in all ways
    + New "warlord" mechanic looks promising tho.. who knows.. maybe it will be a good game after all

    Stronghold, Warcraft 3, Age of Empires and Empire Earth have immensely strong similarities in gameplay style. There are to some extent small differences between them, however core gameplay remains similar meaning if a person enjoy playing one of these sorts of strategy games there's a strong possibility that they'll enjoy all of them. I haven't played every game in every series, i played most of Age of Empires series and Stronghold series but i'm assuming Warcraft and Empire Earth series remained the same or not? In Warcraft 3 and Age of Empires 1 the UI or HUD is big which is annoying because it takes up almost half the damn screen, however in Age of Empires Definitive Edition and Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition you are able to adjust the size of the UI which is brilliantly magnificent. Empire Earth and Stronghold which is first in the series has a small UI which is superb they definitely did it the proper way at it's commencement seeing those games are the first games in the franchise. In Empire Earth while a citizen is busy building a structure you slowly see the structure becoming larger and larger raising upwards until completion which is cool, in Age of empires and Warcraft 3 the foundation is laid the villagers built it, in Stronghold you simply place a building on the map there is no villager which construct buildings, that's why i say there's differences between all the aforementioned games, yet they are akin to each other. The first stronghold doesn't have skirmish mode but it was added in stronghold Crusader it's splendid. I enjoy all of these excellently superlative PC strategy video games.
