Stronghold: Definitive Edition

It has been how many iterations and these "developers" STILL havent fixed the core flaws with their game. Sure defending sieges are fine and dandy and display the strengths of the game. But when you are the one attacking, especially in the campaign vs the pig or the wolf (mission 18 is just terrible), the whole system falls apart like a house of cards. You get no choice , no strategy, no tools. Playing these disasters they call "missions" is basically an hour long slog as you SLOWLY pick off elements of the VASTLY over populated garrisons.. because otherwise half your army dies in a second to cross bow spam. Where are my catapults or mandolins firefly? Where are they? You spend half a campaign teaching us about using them and the handful of times they would be EXTREMELY useful. They are no where to be found. Hell you gave us pikemen only to take them away in the very next mission. What is wrong with you? Fine ill play the game YOUR way. Ill use the ONE ram that dies instantly to arrows and the ONE siege tower that also blows up instantly.... OR I can spend several dozen attempts trying to fight your idiotic path finding. How many men does it take to fill in a moat? if Firefly is to be believed INFINITE. because i sent my entire army to fill in a moat because they gave me no other option and they could not even do that right. Did anyone test this? 3/10 Do better.

Fun classic game, City building mix with RTS

Incredibly difficulty in later campaign missions. All the siege ones (basically where you attack an enemy's castle) is CBT.

Einfach top. Schön auch hier jetzt eine Definitiv Edition zu haben. Kindheitserinnerungen inklusive :)

Gut gemacht und mit britischem Humor gespickt. Die Orginal Kampagne ist unterhaltsam und die Motivation auch die früheren Levels nochmals durchzuspielen ist vorhanden. Läuft super auf Windows 10 und mit der Maus kann man einfach aus dem Spiel raus und wieder rein; z.B. wenn man einen zweiten Bildschirm am Laufen hat.

As someone who loves castles and Tower Defense, the freeform castle building and sieging is all I could want in a game. The main story line campaign missions were fun and (mostly) not too difficult on Normal mode, and easily 40+ hours of gameplay with other campaigns available. Graphics look decent, and the variety of defensive structures and tools are really amazing. You can dig or fill in moats, create wooden and fire traps, place small to large towers, build thick walls of stone or wood, and manage economic output to pay for your military expenditures. The units are also decently varied, without being too many all at once. Without a doubt, the most frustrating parts of the game are with AI pathing, both for your own non-combat peasants and the enemy. It's hard to see that one hole in your defensive wall, but the enemy makes its way right for it. The peasants (farmers, woodcutters, miners, etc.) also don't reconsider their paths when a gate is reopened manually, so they end up taking a much longer route or even a dead-end path, and there's literally no way to redirect them back. They even walk through flames and die. Frustrating! The main campaign missions 15 and 18 are difficult, even on Easy mode. I had to watch YouTube videos on how to approach from the side with ditchdiggers and bowmen before I was able to get it done on the 4th or 5th try. They seriously need to tone down the difficulty on these maps for this edition. Overall, fun but sometimes frustrating for those who love "castle sims!"
