After Stronghold 1 and Crusader they made only mediocare Stronghold games. What a shame. I still play Stronghold HD in 2022, a fantastic game visually and mechanicly.
"I'm sending my units in front of your archers so you can arrow them to death while they're standing still like a practice target" This is some next-level AI.
I am a hardcore Stronghold Crusader player, and never played anything beyond that. Seeing something in 3D in this franchise somehow 'breaks' the magic. Anyone agrees?
Not me, I actually played this game since I was curious about other games similar to Stronghold Crusader. The newer style of game play is amazing. Definitely not for everyone, but games are subjective to people's preferences.
I played most Stronghold games(except for this one) and while it's undeniable that the true magic is with Crusader, the other ones aren't bad either. I kind of enjoyed certain things about 2 and 3 and I have fond memories of playing them. The least you'd probably get out of is Crusader 2 because it's largely mechanically identical, but I'd give the rest a go if they are on sale or something. The sound design is great, the battles feel satisfying and they have just enough stuff to make them different from crusader. The campaigns, at least, are good for a weekend.
I think its time for you to check out the UCP and its enhanced Multiplayer setup :D We want Stronghold Crusader Content again!!!! :D (or me at least ^^)
Though it seems that this game's unit roster consists of units from all existing factions, ie you can control both Japanese and Mongol units at the same time without the need to capture opposing technologies
Yaknow we need a good Stronghold game with custom skirmishes But like stronghold 1 None of the whole restricted to Oasis’s and such And obviously fitting the medieval setting 2 and legends come to mind but 2 has you building too much and legends is insanely difficult at times There’s 3 but it’s missing the custom skirmishes My idea is a mashup of all the best ideas from the good stronghold games 1, crusader, 2, and 3 Crusader 2 also had a really good skirmish mode
Builder games like Stronghold, Stronghold Crusader, and Stronghold Warlords are just the best. There's also Submarine Titans, a similar-ish builder game that takes you underwater in a post apocalyptic world. Command and Conquer as well.
@@allentoyokawa9068 it was like a wierd fusion between Chinese and Japanese. But I don't expect much from typical Americans who can't seem to tell the difference.
Since they moved to 3d style, everything went bad. This one gives the vibe like an RTS/wargame focused only on war, which makes everything dull and heartless. The S1 and SC1 were the same in terms of goals, like killing the opponent, but make no mistake: the graphics 2d, the style of animations, the "interesting" story of S1, was giving colour to the game. Can you see expressions,happiness, little pretty details in a 3d game like this? I don't think so.
I seriously dont know what were they thinking while making this .... they could have made crusader remastered and we would love it ... i even tried crusader 2 ... not as good as the previous one .... just make the best version of crusader and give us the 3 part of it ..
This game looks incredible dull, no love, no passion, nothing. I love Stronghold 1 and RTS/Sims in general, but this game is a hard pass for me, unfortunately.
yeah this game is ass... as someone who grew up on stronghold crusader ...... thats still the best one..smh mass cross bows ya win lol the graphics these days suck for some reason... youd think it would look better or be easier on the eyes
Crusader was too easy because of that. I hated the fact all I needed was 2 or 3 towers with Crossbowmen in them and I would never have to worry about getting killed. And the AI was too dumb to try anything outside of their usual shtick. It got boring really fast tbh
@@Nightcanter yeah I’d always do deathmatch give them 40k and myself 3k make it a challenge … yeah crossbows were op… but if you didn’t max your tower distance you would try it sieges down
That would only add extra complexity for a build-style game (not like AoE). What they could do is capture the emotions of the citizens/peasants, more realism, better AI, etc.
@@broccoli4487 I completely agree. I miss the good old days when he and his friends would play together whilst talking on Skype. Alex, Fang, Phil, and the all mighty Zyragon!
have to be honest, im looking at this game and its just not stronghold for me.... everything is too different, and music is not really that good... i guess everything gets watered down with time
Graphics of the first game which created in 2001, is much better than this piece of sh*t. How evolved this game is a big joke. Stronghold 2001 and Stronghold Crusader were masterpieces.
Totally charmless game. The grid system just boggles the mind and nothing looks organic ie everything looks artificially compared to each other. Really really bizarre art direction
I wont even try it for free, I just need something like SH classic or SH Crusader classic, is this too much to ask? SH2, SH3 and SHCR2 are still better than this one.
Personally I prefer the UI to most modern strategy games, when you get into using drop down arrows and such it over complicates things, this "minimalistic" as you say UI actually looks perfect for what they're doing and how previous Stronghold games operated, only downside is they've got the balancing all kinds of botched and didn't diversify the factions enough
oh firefly studios, you lost your way. now you repack stronghold crusader , into this abomination, even have same voice lines but with far worse and awkward acting. maybe its time to pick another route and forget about crusader games, cause clearly you cant make proper one. even on stronghold crusader , you fail to encourage players to make proper castles.

What a shame. I still play Stronghold HD in 2022, a fantastic game visually and mechanicly.
They need to make a definitive edition of first two games just like AoE did
I still play crusader hd cuz the rest are so mediocre in comparison and honestly all I want is the same strong hold but with bigger map
Legends is great
"I'm sending my units in front of your archers so you can arrow them to death while they're standing still like a practice target"
This is some next-level AI.
Not sure why but "our rice stocks are dwindling, excellency" cracked me up. Lol
I think I will stick to Stronghold Crusader HD
@LWKGD Nothing will be better than Crusader. Ever. :D
@LWKGD alright I respect your opinion
@LWKGD not at all… I don’t even give it 1 star
Yeah I think the same
nahhhh legends is better
I am a hardcore Stronghold Crusader player, and never played anything beyond that. Seeing something in 3D in this franchise somehow 'breaks' the magic. Anyone agrees?
indeed. I was hoping that Stronghold warhold would bring those feelings back but i don't know..

New stronghold has lost it vibe
Old is gold
im gonna play this game,i still love stronghold games gonna give it a try
This is such a waste
I think its time for you to check out the UCP and its enhanced Multiplayer setup :D
We want Stronghold Crusader Content again!!!! :D (or me at least ^^)
Stronghold Crusader 2: Warlord Edition
its different and the best stronghold ive ever played(ive played almost every of them)
i dont think so. its a lazy job. Same user interface and only 4 different character. Most importantly too similar gameplay.
@@kaanarun yeah but the graphics is so good
I rather play the stronghold crusader 1
Stronghold crusader

I got +20 soical credit from playing this game thank you
Im here after Shogun TW shows lol
This looks surprisingly fun.
it is a fun game. I played strong hold 2 when it first came out. The story play was really fun but hard AF!
Though it seems that this game's unit roster consists of units from all existing factions, ie you can control both Japanese and Mongol units at the same time without the need to capture opposing technologies
as usual, the AI is too easy to kill them
Yaknow we need a good Stronghold game with custom skirmishes
But like stronghold 1
None of the whole restricted to Oasis’s and such
And obviously fitting the medieval setting
2 and legends come to mind but 2 has you building too much and legends is insanely difficult at times
There’s 3 but it’s missing the custom skirmishes
My idea is a mashup of all the best ideas from the good stronghold games 1, crusader, 2, and 3
Crusader 2 also had a really good skirmish mode
Hello have a nice day
No you
Builder games like Stronghold, Stronghold Crusader, and Stronghold Warlords are just the best.
There's also Submarine Titans, a similar-ish builder game that takes you underwater in a post apocalyptic world.
Command and Conquer as well.
A man of culture
submarine titans huh?
@@shima-yumai It's a real game. Look it up...and yes, after the whole OceanGate fiasco, I can sea how ironic it is.
I liked the isometric look
Kinda hard to sell isometric graphics these days unfortunately
@@ra.n9482 No it's not hard
@@Nylon-xj9ml What makes you say so?
Stronghold crusader extreme still favourite one
Stronghold crusader .🤠

Same
JFC. Was this made for smartphones or a PC?
visually and audio wise crusader 1 still stands high :P
Audio in crusader 🥵😍
wow its far more better than the original crusader one, and its greennnn!!
I haven’t played Stronghold since Legends. This looks really tempting
Legends was fun
i loved legends, the AI is pretty dumb doe
dude you aint missing much stronghold warlord got boring and old real fast
same as other ones but Japanese
@@allentoyokawa9068 it was like a wierd fusion between Chinese and Japanese. But I don't expect much from typical Americans who can't seem to tell the difference.
we are no longer lords we are an exalancy
Is in there active pause?

Can you see expressions,happiness, little pretty details in a 3d game like this? I don't think so.
Not to mention the AI looks so downgraded now. It feels like it has no personality compared to the AIs we've known and loved back in S1 and SC1.
I agree with you. I wouldn't blame 3D for this though. The lively 2D art they had could certainly be recaptured in 3D.
my eyessssss sick XD still love the clasic crusader.
Strong hold legend is best
Yeah
I seriously dont know what were they thinking while making this .... they could have made crusader remastered and we would love it ... i even tried crusader 2 ... not as good as the previous one .... just make the best version of crusader and give us the 3 part of it ..
reminds me of battle realms RIP.
Construct roads to improve transportation speed to stockpile
To be fair it's way better than Crusaders 2, the campaigns and skirmishes are always hard and enjoyable. The only problems is the lack of maps, kinda
How stronghold killed your channel in a nutshell.
did it really or are u just saying that? genuinely curious
I thing stronghold killed itself
Na how the hell we got from ale being the best food to this?
This game looks incredible dull, no love, no passion, nothing. I love Stronghold 1 and RTS/Sims in general, but this game is a hard pass for me, unfortunately.
yeah this game is ass...
as someone who grew up on stronghold crusader ......
thats still the best one..smh
mass cross bows ya win lol

Everything is worse nowadays
Stronghold crusader is best in all ways
WHY MY HUD AUTO DISAPPEAR AND NOT LIKE THIS? CAN ANYONE TELL ME SOME ADVICES
Then god said, let there be towers: and towers where there
??!!?? BGM same as 九陰真經online?!?
I wish theres a new stronghold crusader ONLINE/Multiplayer and have rank system.
Competition game.
full like stronghold crusader just improve graphics and make it online
Why they don't change a little? I mean this game have same ideas, why they didn't think about building an academy to research for example?
That would only add extra complexity for a build-style game (not like AoE). What they could do is capture the emotions of the citizens/peasants, more realism, better AI, etc.
Stronghold warlords campaign bro
Oriental style kick me out. Need a Roman expansion/mod, or a medieval one.
We want to hearrr your voiceeee
Unfortunately, he stopped talking long ago. I have no idea why.
@@Astachoth People were making fun of him so he had to stop talking through videos.
@@Joseph_Nova He should simply ignore the people who made fun of him. They are only faceless entities behind unknown computers.
@@Astachoth I was curious about this. That's very unfortunate because I love listening to his commentaries..

Which game is this
Better than Stronghold 2
que nivel de AOE 3 Asyan Dinasties Papu.
Por que el es
have to be honest, im looking at this game and its just not stronghold for me.... everything is too different, and music is not really that good... i guess everything gets watered down with time
Nu-i rau de loc si totusi pare invechit :S
Hey is this dragon throne ripoff ? looks so much like that game sooo old
Hello?
Mix age of empire🤔
o my god 10/10
Like its just
Weird compicated i dont even know what the building are its dark
Like
I want the old crusader games back
is this similar to AOE?
Definitely worse.
Aoe is a masterpiece
One thing I don't like about Stronghold series is that the buildings are instantly built, taking no time at all. That's why I prefer Settlers series.
That the least of this games problems
Stronhold should be 2D like StarCraft II or Warcraft III....
Can't place that there m'lord
still stronghold crusader is best
Nice mobile game
Stronghold crusader >>>>>

Duet with manjiw gaming pls
meh, Im still sticking with Stronghold Crusader
eh, graphics look ok, but the UI is cheap AF
following minimalistic trend didn't go well
Minimalistic is never a good idea, it's just a method of cutting costs.
@@wurzelbert84wucher5 Anno 1800 and rainbow six siege minimalist ui looks pretty good to me.
Personally I prefer the UI to most modern strategy games, when you get into using drop down arrows and such it over complicates things, this "minimalistic" as you say UI actually looks perfect for what they're doing and how previous Stronghold games operated, only downside is they've got the balancing all kinds of botched and didn't diversify the factions enough

Nah worse

Like any other one but Japanese
yaaa. y noob bro
Pathetic units' physics
This is like chinese funded, once the chinese enters these game developers, it becomes trash
oh firefly studios, you lost your way. now you repack stronghold crusader , into this abomination, even have same voice lines but with far worse and awkward acting. maybe its time to pick another route and forget about crusader games, cause clearly you cant make proper one. even on stronghold crusader , you fail to encourage players to make proper castles.
This game blows so fucking bad its not even funny
Not interested in the asian style build. They need to make a post apocolyptic build game. Use junk parts for walls and such. Fight off nomads and other crap
