So apparently Firefly Studios is making a F2P MMO version of Stronghold?

Only 120ish MB so downloaded it a bit ago...  hard to say if its good or bad yet, seems very similar to the usual Browser-Strat game that's getting more common these days.  The castle building from the series is in though you have to research new defenses like towers and what have you.

Oh yeah and if anyone decides to join, I'm in Ross-Shire Scotland. (Edit: On World 2)

Not really, because in this unlike other games if you get attacked you can watch the two armies collide, and you control your side of the army. You create your castle just like in a real Stronghold game, but village, and  castle making are seperate so that your buildings are not at risk when you get attacked. If youn are willing to pay you get extra cards each month. All players automatiacally get a set amount of cards, but by paying you get more. These cards have varying effects such as giving you troops or increaseing food production. I am an avid Stronghold Fan, and have to say this is a great game, and the ability to play with thousands of people expands on STronghold's best aspect the multiplayer combat, and castle building.

Sorry, about the wall of text I also forgot to add that it has the most indepth research system i have seen in almost anygame.

[Akura]

Innnteresting. Looking at.

[Johnfalcon99977]

Trying it out. Coat of Arms thing isn't working properly so I have to try it on another computer, though.

[adwarf]

It is still in its early tsages so there will be problems but great game none the less.

[Johnfalcon99977]

Damn it. Ran into some problems downloading it. Won't be able to play for now.

Yeah its definitely in its early stages but it does have a lot of potential. This whole  Country->Province->Count->Parish-> Village thing looks really interesting too.

World 2 seems to be damn new too which is nice in games like this. I don't think anybody's that high level either since we don't have a Governor or King yet.

[adwarf]

I need to re-install this. I will tommorow I going to bed soon.

I play this and really enjoy it. It's a pretty slow game especially if you don't pay for premium(allows for queuing of buildings and research). On world 2 I've become a parish leader and am involved in faction politics and I'm enjoying it a lot more then just building a village and not dealing with anybody else like how I did on world 1.
World 2 is on day 34, the highest level person is a Marquis(level 20). I'm a Page(level 14) and I've been around since around day 3.
I'm Thendash, steward of Red Loge in the county of Suffolk.

[Tyler6498]

I'm also a part of world 2 and because I'm to lazy to muster up serious sentences I'll just list it.
Steward of Lispole in Kerry of Ireland
Ranked Page (14) nearly Squire.
Tyler6498 in game!

Honestly I didn't think it would be anything like this when I joined but for some reason I decided to keep playing, probably the politics with other players since winning the hearts of my parish and denouncing bad parish rulers is entertaining to me!

That's my favorite part too. Near the beginning of world 2 before I was an Alderman, someone captured on of my parish member's only village forcing him to restart in Ireland. Then he tried to take the steward position from me, so I had to rally the parish members against him and I eventually captured his new village back. It was great fun, now I have two villages in my own parish so I get 6 votes a day for myself, and I have a very loyal vassal and he's the next strongest/active player under me in my parish so I'm basically guaranteed stewardship for at least the near future.

[Rilder]

Priorities. We must get that ale. ALL THE ALE.

[Fanofgaming]

I shall throw my coat of arms into the game. Let the world fear God-Emperor Fang!

Or Knave. Whatever the starting title is. God-Emperor would be cool.

EDIT: LEARN TO FEAR VILLAGE IDIOT FANOFGAMING!

Double EDIT: I'm very close to you, Rilder. I'm in the Foulis Castle Parish.
