Series has gone downhill, heavily, no way in hell they'll make anything even half as good as SH1 or SHC as long as they stay in 3d, or even be worth 10% of they'll sell it for, and this is coming from a guy who would gladly pay 100USD for an expansion to SH1 that only increased max sprite amount before the game stops working properly and allowed for way bigger maps to be made.

TBH I'll still probably donate due to stronghold being my favorite game series by far, but I shouldn't.

1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Have to agree, Stronghold 2 and 3, especially 3 was a total disaster.

Both just shat on the Stronghold everybody likes.

I actually liked aspects of SH2 and SH3, the estates system of SH2 was fun, still would've only been fun to use in the original games once in a while, but still fun, to a certain extent I even enjoyed some of that stuff where you had to collect shit and stuff, but the siege equipment of SH2 was so fucking broken, I hate walls that aren't breakable by troops, the lack of 1x1 tilebased individually placeable stairs also pissed me off heavily, but the thing I dislike the most was the ability to not place buildings directly up against each other, honor system was shit, I usually don't care about graphics that much either, but SH2 looked to retarded to truly enjoy... SH3 could've been fun if they'd stuck with a regular tilebased building placement system, had properly allowed buildings to be placed next to eachother/walls, if the game even to this day wasn't COMPLETELY fucking unplayable and buggy, and all the complaints that piss me off in SH2 besides beyond shit graphics also apply here (besides maybe siege equipment, ages since I last played SH3).

Can anyone name a good game, that came out of these crowdfunding schemes?... I am not following all those kickstarters, so it is not a rhetorical question, i was just wondering if that system is working.

Leshma was the kickstarter addict titled one, right?

Maybe he.. she.. it.. fuck

Maybe Leshma knows.  :lol:

Joking aside, iirc Chivalry: Medieval Warfare evolved from a kickstarter project.

You know it's pretty messed up when the guy talking in the video admits that stronghold crusader is the team's favourite.


Just improve the original game (Stronghold I&Crusader) dammit.

No it isn't. Stronghold I and Stronghold Crusader are the original games. Everyone plays those first two they made, and as the guy in the interview said it was made in 1999. He even says that they are the team's favourite.

Everyone would love a good patch for those games, as it can be seen on the video they don't really have the budget to match the games of today. Just look at those graphics and musics playing on the background. It will not draw the attention of the new generation gamers and it will hardly make it a good game for the old fans. Besides, it will never reach the level of the first two games they have made (it's hardly made by those guys anyway).

So why not just improve the old games, improve their AI a bit and make new campaigns for it? Every money they invest on graphic designing, musics, voice acting, etc. will go to waste as it will never catch up the awesomeness of the first two games.

TBH I really liked SH 2. Like really. A lot of its aspects were bullshit I agree, but there was pure gold entertainment inside it too.

Cloud: And that is?
Tseng: Bitches, man.
