If you get hit by a fkn big onager stone you die. We dont want catapults, when hit the ground and hit a soldier that 10 of them fly away and still have 80% HP. We want Matches that start slow but can expand into a big battlefield where hundreds of soldiers fight at the same time at each other with stones, cows and other things that crash heavily into the walls where you kill people. So get MORE INTO THE DISTANCE where you dont have to zoom in to see the faces of the models - We dont need that. Its a game about siege warfare and stuff. Stronghold 2 Crusader - its clear that i will choose Stronghold Crusader and not the second part. When i have to compare, just visually, Stronghold Crusader vs. AND i looked to Age of Empires 3 (which was also a big failure if i remember) But - instead that firefly learned from their mistake, like Microsoft has done - firefly 'stands' on their strange graphic way they are using since Stronghold 2.īut what they should do is: Going more into the distance instead of going more near into it. I just looked at Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition - and i looked to their HD. The Quality of the new products cant reach it. Tbh - i would really love an old stronghold, i loved the first games for years - its a game i am still playing today. The Animations are some kind of silly and the game still feels. The Graphics still much outdated (it wont bother me till a point when this studio wouldnt have much much better graphics in an very early game and now we get like this). and the game feels bad.really bad to play. and one thing i want to say is: Comic shape. Why they are not able to make again a castle feeling like this?Īnd now - we have Stronghold Crusader 2. And i am like: goddamn - this looks great. I see pictures like this: Īnd i think: okay wtf is going wrong? then i go back to Stronghold HD: i got this. Its not a castle feeling at all and this game was a buggy mess at the beginning. They could have done a great game, but all the buildings. But then i look more into the gameplay itself. But after i see a bit MORE into it - what happens here? Graphics are still outdated which isnt for me a problem. Stronghold 3: It looks nice on the first look. I mean - its nice to have more on the economy. Also - because it was in the 'early 3D Time' i can say it is forgiveable that some failures happen. I didnt like HOW i had to archive some stuff in this game. tbh - i liked the system with the baronies which you have to buy. When you play the Story it feels like all the characters are nearly naive. While their player audience was around 18+.

Stronghold 2: Firefly decided to make a game for 6+ Year old. It was a fast playable game with nice building stuff. Stronghold 1 and Crusader were awesome Games. I loved Stronghold 1, i loved Stronghold Crusader.īut i hate all the Strongholds after this!
