Title: Stronghold?
Post by: Mushy on April 05, 2012, 12:08:59 am
Is this game mode ever going to be implemented into the game? Or is it just going to be like rabbit and capture the flag .. I played the game mode in the public test phase and it was really enjoyable, and with a few minor tweaks and bug fixes it will be just about ready to go. I don't know if there has been a post like this already, so my bad if there has.

Discuss!

Never seen such a gamemode but as it has been mentioned before in my thread, is this what we are talking about:

Indeed, stronghold was much fun :/

Such as capture the flag. Give us some nice gamemodes back please

Pretty sure it was scrapped, or put on hold for a long time.

The stronghold tests were the reason I came back from a long break from cRPG. All it needed were some minor tweaks and less laggy building placement/ghost building plans etc.
I'd love it if this mode were brought back, even if it gave no xp or something until the balance was better?

Agreed, and they'd need to figure out how to apply multiplicators so it wasn't like the early stages of DTV where you could sit on an x5 for 8 hours

Shit. Why not give stronghold back and make it like the duel server? No upkeep, but constant x1. I'd play it anyway because of how awesome it is!

really sad, because thats the kind of gameplay this engine and game was MADE to play, not stupid simplistic team deathmatch crap from 1994

As far as I know Stronghold development ran into a hardcoded wall(too hard for WSE) that led to very laggy server performance when too much stuff was built.

Well, it is not impossible to revive it, it just needs a lot of work. None of the devs are working on it now, but I wouldn't rule it out for the future.

Was wondering what happened to this, been looking forward to it coming out ever since the beta.

If that's the case, couldn't we have a temporary version with pre-built castles? The mode itself still seemed to be a lot of fun.

It would be very nice if you didn't give it up. It was a very cool, fun and awesome gamemode, same as Rageball, and I, and many others, would love to see it back. I know we can't demand anything, but I humbly ask of you to put it back up on your to-do list. Or... isn't cmpx working on WSE 2? Maybe ask him if he could try to keep stronghold in mind when he makes it?

Personally I think the stronghold mode was the coolest thing you guys ever tried to do with warband. Here's hoping it doesn't die!

If that's the case, couldn't we have a temporary version with bre-built castles? The mode itself still seemed to be a lot of fun.
Just the castles, no building what-so-ever, or the ability to also make the workshops (blacksmith, fletcher etc.)? Would be nice no matter what. Actually, is it possible for clan servers to host stronghold? Not connected, but just for fun? I would love to do a clan-war through stronghold!

We're all kinda wonder wtf are the devs up to, since cRPG is pretty much dead.

Whiney brat post, nothing to see here, move along.

I do play it, actually, seems just fine and dandy.

Then again, it's just a karasu post, nothing new here. (oh, i can do this too? :o)

Ok, I'll have a go at reviving it over the next few weeks. Can't promise anything yet though.

karasu sure managed to turn his image into a whiny brat with posts that are guaranteed to lack even hints of constructiveness or usefulness.

Just saying.

Awesome. Stronghold was a great idea and I'm sure many of us would play it avidly if it was revived :)

As long as you try, we can't demand anything more. Thank you.

   Cheers, Ozin, I missed the Open Test of the mode back in the day, because honestly, the idea wasn't my cup o'tea, but having you looking into it, gives me a new interest, and perhaps I might learn to enjoy it.

   Good to have people like you in the team, people who understand the value of interaction with the community.

lol, chadz post wasn't interacting enough for you?..
...just wondering, how does Ozin looking into something that you thought wasn't your cup of tea make it something you should try and "learn to enjoy"? Sounds like typical chadz is dead, Ozin is awesome propaganda...
...just sayin', donkey beats old man from cartoon any day...
