Wheat is the most effective food source via bakeries, when you multiple food sources people are happier, and growing hops allows for higher taxes. Get iron and stone going quickly. Hope enjoyed playing this game I have in the past
huh, It looks exactly the way it looked back in the day (through the eyes of gamers back then) but I'm sceptical how much of the actual issues of SH this adresses, becasue the problem with playing SH in 2023 is not that it looks a bit grainy but that many gameplay "features" are dated or simply bad. The good thing about Crusader was not the new campaign, the sandy biome or how farms were now limited to oasis(which admitedly is an interesting gameplay concept) but that you always had a market, mercenaries and a god damn skirmish mode! Firefly have been missing the mark for twenty years, not understanding why SH/SHC succeded and replicating all the wrong things, while introducing hot garbage to the formula. This seems like a very cautious approach which is good for a studio so prone to get lost in the woods but considering how decent SHC still looks, I'd rather just use hamachi to play that with my buddy. - also Firefly, why can't you make a stronghold game with more than one biome?
Omg! Someone actually learned to keep the stuff that makes a fun game?!? The last ver ad ion seemed so broken, I could barley play it. This looks good!
I’m still trying to process these graphics. They still have an ‘old school’ graphics like the original, but it somehow looks better too, without betraying that old school look. I just can’t figure it out.
Hey, it's col FireFly actually does something sensible with the Stronghold IP after years of mediocre titles, but did they really just dare to change the bookholder in the bottom right from my old aged pal to some random young schmuk? The audacity I tell ya.
Looks just like a remake but the graphics aren't even "better" didn't they do a HD version of this so basically it is the same? Ok maybe we are missing a lot of new features as mentioned MP and the castle trail. Though to be honest new graphics and animation should have been paid attention to and the mechanics that were impossible back in the day.
When is the release date? At least they didn't screw with the mechanics and just improved on the graphics. Seems like Firefly F'd up Warlords. I don't know why developers makes a game that's good, builds a following and then breaks the model. Same thing with Baldur's Gate 3. Took away real time with pause.
I mean.. What they tryin to remake? 😅 It's all seem the same. Except for the graphics that a bit smoother. But then again, the reason why stronghold success is, back then, few of RTS games. The only competition is with Age of Empires and Command & Conquer but it's not a competition since they all different. But now... many RTS games released already... Stronghold crusader need to be released with more new features to compete.
this is such a blatant cash grab only being released since all of their games in like the last 15 years have been total flops they have been trying to milk stronghold 1 and crusader so much from what i can see they didnt even add skirmish mode vs ai so really no point in buying this
Fool me once.. But yes, this gives me a strong sense of deja-vu with the number of remakes and remasters. I guess it's business to give a little polish and sell the same game over and over again, but nostalgia only goes so far. I'm guessing this won't be a $9.99 game either. It's a shame, because 30 years ago(?) I sank a lot of time into this game, but technology has moved on, as have castle defence games.

Kinda wish they'd make an actually good new game, but the visuals are crisper now I guess

Looks like a slightly crisper version of Stronghold HD. Probably not worth the money.
Puts castle below the hill. Then strategically placed woodcutter's on the top of the hill so trees had no chance against them.
I am so excited, this game is just fantastic, the original stronghold is my favorite of all of them
The fact that they didn't change the sound of WOOD NEEDED
didnt they just do a remake
No
My brother in christ this is the remake
Looks like minimal effort from the studio. It was a great game.
Omg, This is such a good old game. It may be dated but I have kept it in my mind.

Brings back memories of castles by interplay back when I was a kid.

I hope some of the AI has been improved. It was really bad once your skill level improved beyond novice...
It doesn't look like it from this demo...
YOU DON'T NEED TO CLOSE THE GATE
it will always close automatically when enemy gets close
Skirmish AI would be so good for this game! Even if it doesnt ship with it, i cant imagine someone NOT making a mod for it

I want this one. I loved it growing up
Classic Stronghold? Sign me up!
Is it me or the animal sounds are just the same as in Ultima Online?
Woo!, this brings back memories!
The whole time I'm like yelling build more food production....
positivley suprised from the game. Might buy it. Loved the original
Wow. Forgot how fun this game was. Gotta reinstall my game now😜
😎🍻😎
My main thing with Stronghold was always scale. It always felt so claustrophobic which after 2 or 3 matches would turn me away.

grainary?
Love your videos bro!
iron mine do not need ox to work 💀
and better to read discriptions of the buldings and beat the tutorial first before you start playing for real

Stronghold crusader need to be released with more new features to compete.

thats what veteran thinks
Double rations, my lord!
Remember you can change the food rationing to get happiness so you can raise taxes
wood needed.
They really made a Remake?? Damn
I'm not buying it a 3rd time...
@@npcperson2158good for you
They're still bad at menus :D and the animation still stops after one go! Just as it was!

this is such a blatant cash grab only being released since all of their games in like the last 15 years have been total flops they have been trying to milk stronghold 1 and crusader so much
from what i can see they didnt even add skirmish mode vs ai so really no point in buying this

Make more Minecraft videos please.
Is this a remake of the remaster?? They just keep making broken games.
It wasn't really a remaster, All they did before was upscale the resolution. That was it.
@@NotAnotherLetsPlayer lmao, thats my point. It looks like they did it again. just upscale the resolution.
@@codyj9983 I played the "remaster", This looks better than that, The ui and graphics definitely changed.
@@NotAnotherLetsPlayer It doesnt matter, none of them are ever working anyways. Stronghold 2 could of been SOO good.

Painful
dosent look like a remake looks like an exact copy.
watch trailer then you will see what it offers

Seem like the AI is as bad as the original
Their games never work and are buggy AF.
no
I played stronghold warlords and expierienced like 1 bug
