I'm personally hoping for a demolitionist enemy, one that attempts to sneak up to your walls to plant TNT. Not some suicide bomber that you'll lose people just trying to stop, but a more stealthy saboteur.

yes, seen that, but I wonder where it is on the serious/crazy scale, if it's more like lord of the realms or serious sam

Some of the concept art shows shadowy, smokey figures similar to the yellow dudes. I don't know if there's any information about them though.

I doubt it will have guns that shoot sharks. and it probably will be a game and not a watered down medieval simulation. so, the crazy  between these 2 games as 0 and 10 i estimate it being between 2 and 6.

This just seems too subtle. What is obviously needed is a bulky, troll-style enemy that just runs at your walls head-on to try to crash through them bodily and then rampages through the main structure. I love the idea of some kind of giant flinging blocks everywhere as he just runs right through outbuilding walls to get at the delicious yellow candies inside. Bonus points if you can slow them with cleverly designed moats or brace the outer walls to they just come away with a really nasty concussion.

Add menacing spikes to walls = impaled troll/whatever.

Now I'm thinking of Stronghold... pitch ditches are fun.

Easily made cinematic in-game.
Pretty cool.

It's funny that you bumped this because I was wondering about this game at work today. Gotta play some catchup to see what they've been doing.

A quick read implies their Kickstarter should be beginning soon.
