Why is there no more games like this?

Blow the horn, bang the drum, The Pig is coming to town.

Because games nowadays feel like they have to add complicated shit. Simplicity is key and Stronghold got their fundamentals right.
Explains why the move to 3D was kind of underwhelming.

shame the next stronghold game looks like its gonna be shit too
all firefly had to do was use the stronghold 1 engine and expand on it,bigger maps,more buildings and units and maybe add some of the features introduced in stronghold 2 instead of fucking around with their ugly ass 3d engine

CONSTRUCTING SIEGE EQUIPMENT

Surround all houses that spawn them by thick stone walls with no way out. Put them in a ghetto

It's disturbing just how clearly I heard that image

What was the POINT of the monks

One of the things I liked most about Stronghold were the production chains, even if a lot of them were pretty simple.
Needing to get iron, then hammer it into weapons and armor, and then using that to hire a swordsman. Or making wheat fields, milling it into flour and then baking bread with it at a dozen bakeries.
Is there any game like stronghold that has some more in depth production chains, while also keeping the defensive building aspects? I know of some city builders that have some deeper production chains, but I haven't seen any with interesting combat.
I want to build a self-sustaining fortress city while invaders crash upon my walls.

This game has so much soul. Everything from the voice acting, to the music, to the unique blend of castle sim and RTS gameplay makes you easily overlook the early 2000s jank.

Overall Macemen would rek everthing and they were retard fast, they wouldrun true anything in MP and only moats n archers were good defense.

No, fuck the Chinese. I'm very disappointed, but I'll still probably waste a huge chunk of my life with this game.

I was too dumb as a kid to play the game properly so I spent all my time on it in the free placement mode or editor or something. Built my nice castle and would release wolves and bears to fight.

Same. Forgot to add that the AI is even dumber than it's predecessors as I managed to defeat every AI lord with around 20-30 swordsmen after I breached their castles.
They defend themselves in a weird way as the AI doesn't really group it's melee units around the lord and those that are in the keep run around like retards and a few try to 1vs1 your horde. Kinda like European bees when a wasp attacks them.
The fucking Caliph could easily burn 30 swordsmen.
I'll eventually get around to playing legends and SHC2, but boy was SH2 a wild ride and not in the good way.

I think they got caught up in that period where graphics were the #1 selling point. They lost focus on design or wanted to try fresh things. Staff have probably moved on since then, too.

I don't think this looks terrible but I never played Stronghold. It sure doesn't have the same SOUL that the original has.

quite the opposite
the studio and gaming markets are different now.

I can't think of any game that has as much soul as Stronghold, t b h. It's pure early 2000s jankkino.

I played it as a child, found it too hard. Came back to it as a young teenager, beat it. I came back again recently, couldn't beat one level. Somehow I'm more retarded now than I was as a kid.

that's why you think it looks fine.

If it doesn't have soul, why bother?

[...] Success is a relative thing [...] So I turned to observe other mediocre and handicapped persons about me, and found pleasure in increasing the happiness of those who could be helped by such encouraging words or critical services as I am capable of furnishing. That I have been able to cheer here and there an aged man, an infirm old lady, a dull youth, or a person deprived by circumstances of education, affords to me a sense of being not altogether useless, which almost forms a substitute for the real success I shall never know. [...] Surely it is well that the happiness of the unfortunate be made as great as possible; and he who is kind, helpful, and patient with his fellow-sufferers, adds as truly to the world's combined fund of tranquility as he who, with greater endowments, promotes the birth of empires, or advances the knowledge of civilisation and mankind."

No offence brother, but evangelicals with their semites love deserve special place in hell

>those screams of anguish.

Why is Stronghold 3 sandbox so lackluster? I only played it recently after playing the first many years ago and I swear it's worse in every way that I can remember.

The ones who intentionally twist and manipulate sure do I agree. But there are alot of varying demonstrations, mostly with small differences, some with big differences.
"Evangelical" is kind of an umbrella term for all, but only meaning the worst of the worst.
I dont give a shit about petty denomination anymore, which is why I seek to unite as many as I can.
The reason I called the divide intentional is because it was fed by politicians and a few mega-churches that saw profit in the air.
Coincidentally, they are the ones pushing jew love aswell. though to be fair its not so much 'jew' love as it is letting israel succeed thus building the third temple and ending this decaying shithole of a world.

Honestly, i dont think we should try and help that happen. God said it would be done, it WILL be done. To try and make it happen ourselves seem heretical... plus the jews are up to alot of bullshit.

you are not christian, you are a heretic out of touch with any true doctrine and mother church(catholic or orthodox)

also you carry a slave-mark from your jewish overlords

>back in the day
Are those upper-middle class jobs now? No.

>believing in God
lmao try believing in yourself instead you're as bad as any ideologist

i once made a map with 5 enemy castles really close to each other and a player castle on the other side of the map

then set all the enemies to rats

it was good fun mowing down wave after wave of spearmen and archers

Right, how DARE I follow the traditions of those who saw through the Catholic lies and twisted scripture. Who know that for any one man to call himself Christs earthly representation is a heretic of the highest order!

I know American churches have a reputation but for fucks sake lads we are not a bunch of jew worshipping lunatics.

Like this user says . You probaly all would be peasants and you're all to affraid to admit it. Most of you wouldn't even be free people but even that's okay. A lot of people even choose to be serfs because that meant that you didn't have to fight in your lord's wars like the free men.

Depends on the time period and location.
Serfdom was actually established later on, before it was more clannish or family organized.

Can't place that there m'lord

I think I was 9 when I made my first and only map. I enjoyed playing the game on easy and being comfy but I wasn't good enough to make a knight army. So I made a map that started me with a giant castle and town.

I had a dozen of each production structure, had loads of houses, stables, everything. I had multiple of everything in the game. The enemy had nothing. I figured this was my chance to pick an AI like Saladin and crush him with a high tier army for the first time.

Then I start the game and realize that I can't get any recruits. Every time a new person spawned, he was automatically set to work in the bakery or something. I didn't understand what was happening. Before I could figure out how to fix it, the severely handicapped enemy had already enough troops to win. Probably my most embarrassing defeat in gaming.

I'm talking mostly about western Europe. In the feudal system yes, it wasn't the same everywhere and it didn't even exist everywhere or all the time. But the start of the middle ages is already marked with people fleeing the roman cities en masse in search for food, most of them ended up giving up their freedom in exchange for a living. In the early middle ages slaves was one of the export products of western europe. However you want to call it the majority of people in western europe during the entire middle ages were unfree. Serfdom didn't exist in the entire middle ages in strictest sense of the word but it existed in some way and evolved at different speeds, in different directions and in different ways in different locations.

You are the second greatest lord.

Is that Stronghold 3?

2, it's the 3rd part of the 2nd war mission.

came here for this

Is it worth getting? Looks like WarCraft 3 kinda, not sure how well Stronghold translates to 3d though

Well I don't know, I've had fun up to this point but I'm stuck at a wall here. To complete the mission I have to kill them but they're on an impassable hill.
