:) In fact, that is another challenge! Try to make your economy efficient as much as possible with less buildings. :) Also, I don't thing it is worth 27,99€ - don't rush when buying it, you should be able to find a retail version for less, or you could wait from some sale at Steam, and to get it for less.Īlso, I hope that we should be able to play multiplayer games with less troops and less buildings, and still, to have the fun. So, my advice would be: don't get this game with high expectations, and still, you should have fun playing it. One doesn't need to bring the engineers to construct mass of catapults in the middle of nowhere. This is something that could be exploited even in some missions! I also dislike how they made the siege camps just like in Stronghold 2. I would also like to add that it is Stronghold 3 in which Firefly introduced some new interesting things such as: building walls in all possible directions, and putting any buildings wherever I want and rotate it however I want special abilities of some troops, such as men at arms: they made spearmen more useful this way, etc.Īmong those new stuff I do dislike how they made troops just leave the barracks - peasants do not need to walk to the barracks. Nevertheless, it is not an excuse, and I am also sad that Firefly gave up this game, and that they didn't work on it a little more to fix the remaining bugs. :) So, when I got the game, I was only looking at those good things of the game, and still, there are more good parts, and those bad ones. The other thing about Stronghold 3 is the fact that I was reading the review before buying Stronghold 3, and I knew there wouldn't be skirmish, and I knew there are still those bugs - so I got the game with low expectations.

In the end - it is the same if me and my opponent have 50, or 500 troops. Why do we need to play with so many troops? Can we play with smaller troops? We would make some smaller castles, and attack each other earlier with less troops.

Still, same thing was happening in Crusader 1 and Stronghold 1 as well, with exception that in Crusader 1 this unit would disappear, or remain stuck on wall crenelation.Īs about other things you said. It does have some bugs, and the one that is most common is troops stuck when you place a new buildings near them, and similar stuff. I wouldn't say you're right, although in many aspects, it is not what we are used to have in other Stronghold games.

Does stronghold 3 have skirmish
