New Stronghold game is coming



SouthPeak Games will be bringing Stronghold 3 to PC first quarter of 2011. The FireFly Studios developed title will bring with it a improved building system that will offer intricacy in castle and village design. Expect multiple campaign offerings including accurately re-created sieges based on real historical events.The official website is live and there's also a Facebook page you can join to keep up to date with the game.

They better do this one right...

 Stronghold 2 had several complexities to balancing the economy that I found just plain unnecessary. And the bugs... I'll never forget how my own freaking ally catapulted rocks at my walls.

I hate to say it, but that screenshot looks pretty much like Stronghold 2's graphics.

Like how you almost literally have to wipe your peasants' asses for them?

I also love how they can insta-build a tower, seconds after destroying it, while my troops are on and in the walls slaughtering their constantly spawning swordsmen, in a castle that has no access to iron or stone, and from what I saw, no blacksmiths or armourers.

Also hated the ~300 troop limit it imposes, which, combined with the inability to build walls in your estates, makes it nearly impossible to defend your lands, and protecting them would be the main reason the people in those lands would chose you to rule over them(the other reason would be through forced occupation, but even that requires troops). A properly planned defense would certainly take more than 300 men to take down as well.

Can't get missions in the map editor to work right, either, or else I'd remake the Battle on the Big Bridge map(based on Galuf's aborted assault on Exdeath's fortress in FFV) which I did in the first Stronghold.

I liked Stronghold 1 and 2 despite the problems. Hopefully they'll improve upon the former games immensely rather than spending all their time on graphics.

I liked Stronghold just because I don't think anybody has really done a castle defense/siege sort of deal before quite like this. I don't remember much about Stronghold 2.

The only problem is I am horribly, horribly, horribly awful at this game... but it's still fun to go into the map builder and have 5000 archers raining arrows on tons of attackers =)

Stronghold 2 is like fallout:BOS.
It never existed.

Stronghold 1 was awesome.

Also, I'm in the Stronghold Kingdoms Alpha. Good fun.

Oddly, I never got any of the Stronghold games despite really liking the old Castles game. I'll have to keep an eye on this one, though.

I think kingdoms moves a bit too slow for my taste.
I'v been in since alpha 2 though so my opinion is a tad biased as far as length goes.

Really? I thought I played two different version of stronghold but I guess i could be remembering wrong. It was quite a few years ago.
