never played stronghold. maybe later

>>715480934
pick up stronghold de and go through the campaign. It' super comfy. Crusaders is more multiplayer/skirmish focused

>>715480225 (OP)
Oh shit I didn't know they are doing the engine upgrade for crusader too. Thanks for letting me know anon

>>715480225 (OP)

>remade unity engine
oh crap, i wonder how accurate is it

>>715481930
not even the same gameplay, stronghold and aoe2 hold different places in my heart

>remake doesn't do anything new
>downgrades graphics
>removes the pull down walls feature
Why the FUCK would you spend money again on a downgrade of the same game? Remakeniggers are retarded.

>>715484543
>removes the pull down walls feature
it's just downgraded to all walls

>>715480225 (OP)
I wish Legends had bothered to retain full castle builder modes

Is there a discount?

I already bought the og last year. Very fun game.

>>715486632
what's bad about legends?

>>715489497
it pared down from 2 mechanically to focus on the RTS elements plus the new fantasy units, with no castle sim mode

please dont be bullshit me

Okay fags episode 11 stronghold HD combat capaign "snake hunt"
Whats the trick with this one? I keep getting raped by the wolfs swordmen half way thru the mission, i can get about 16 archers going but they get fucked by the macemen and when i make macemen its still not quite enought to stem the tide of sword guys.... more wood walls?? Sell stone?? Wtf am i doing wrong

Quickly encase yourself with wooden walls at first, then build a stone gate, and finally build archers. Attacking enemy AI tends to favor attacking weaker sides of your walls, so remember to make the walls away from the enemy thicker so you can funnel them into your "weaker" front gate where most of your archers are at. At around halfway through the mission you should already have a stone gate and a tower packed with archers ready to deal with swordsmen. You could do the gay bread empire strategy to make things easier.

Is Stronghold a good series if I want to focus on building cool bases

Okay im gonna try this when i get home im on the bus ill let you know how i fair.. hopefull the thread stays up.
Food production wasnt too much of an issue, just keeping the balance of peasants for recuitment was another issue though

>>715492580
They have a literal free build make ypur own mission mode complete with all the storymode events that you can put on a timer and around 15 free build and free seige missions in addition to the regular story
I reccomend it but its rlly fuckin hard on very hard mode (duh)

>>715492731
You'd generally want to be at max 100 popularity at any time to maximise peasant production.
