Stronghold thread, m'lord.

Post castles.

How did this series become so bad? You'd think if a developer makes nothing one genre of game they'd get better at it.

>What i played
>Stronghold Crusader Multiplayer

>What i expected
>Castle simulator

>What i got
>Stone quarry tycoon deluxe

What we need is a remake of the first one.

There's already an HD version.

Which Stronghold game should I get, lads?

>comfy stronghold simulator
>suddenly new enemy that ignores arrows
>get stomped over and over

This game is unbalanced as fuck

The first one for story mode, Crusader for skirmish.

This only raises further questions

Atteeeeention!

The first Stronghold don't have skirmish.

Fuck this nigger castle

...

>that ramp in the lower left

I've never played these games but you're fucked, mate

Wew, it's not a ramp afterall.

And it's not even the -lower- left, I need to sleep bye

WE ARE THE MACEMEN

Is this Crusaders HD?

Stronghold HD

shit, I got all of them in a bundle half a decade ago. Still haven't played any.
because I don't know what the fucks what outside of 2 which is (probably) the second entry

THE KEEP IS ENCLOSED

LET'S BOAST

>ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH

I'm angry. Angry about SPEARMEN BEING USELESS.

No more replies!

IT'S A ROUT

POPINJAY.

SLUBBERDEGULLION.

KNAVE!

OAF!

VARLOT!

>Spam oaf all the day.
Fuck. I want to play stronghold crusader but no computer

HELP HELP

...

The people are leaving the thread, sire.

Who /Wolf/ here?

>the 3D games always suck
>the devs don't just continue to work on the 2D ones and add actual good features and layers of depth

Surely it's not that difficult, right?

Favorite ally? Favorite nemesis?

Saladin and the Wolf for me. Wazir also makes a good enemy.

Never play this but Im curious now, what game should I start with?

If you just need a point held against slave rushing they're very effective. They also make for good arrow fodder in a charge.

...

OG Stronghold has a story that gives you a bit of everything. Crusader is a big series of skirmish games that are all castle v castle while the original game is scenarios that have you either solely attack or defend.

I never actually tried any of the sequels.

...

What I really dislike is how Crusader is set IN THE FUCKING DESERT

I love cozy grassy knolls

How the fuck do you shitters plan things like this?
My castles are always autistic messes that feel cramped as fuck because I cannot into how small the maps are

My favourite feature of Stronghold 1 is that the trees grow over time, but if you don't have enough lumberjacks the forest consumes the entire map.

I prefer the desert, it's bright and clean.

>They also make for good arrow fodder in a charge.

Much more worthwhile to have a few pavises on the frontlines.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

...

Try Stronghold Europe.

I do and somewhat enjoy it

god what a fucked up castle that is

b-bump

BLOW THE HORN
BANG THE DRUM
THE PIG IS COMING TO TOWN

>the pig

Maceman? That's it? Pathetic. My archer groups alone are enough to deal with the pig.

Does anybody else here make small outposts dotted around important points on the map like river crossings and just have them full of archers?

I'm incapable of playing this game without turtling up. Bully me.

That's the way it meant to be play. It's a castle builder. Fuck these who just spam economic buildings and rush, they don't even build wall!

I'll send my slaves

Please no.

WATCH IT CRUMBLE

Which one is the best? I want to try out Stronghold.

>The first one for story mode, Crusader for skirmish.

As all must sleep the sleep of the ancients, so must the poor thread.

>tfw you can't build castle for shit

I can only build a wall at choke point.

I'd breach with chokepoint
