Please discuss this game with me, no one ever replies to my /v/ threads.

What is it? RTS or a sim game?

>>378964173
RTS

>>378964173
RTS where you build your own castle

>>378964173
A bit of both

Why am I so fat?

I could never manage to get into the game
the tutorial makes it seem like the later game is going to be boring as hell

>>378964173
a criminally overlooked rts game

>>378964173
RTS
the first Strongold and Stronghold 2 are more mixtures of both with campaigns that are more castle sims

Are there any other games like stronghold?

More rts than anything but calling it a lite siege defence sim isn't inaccurate

>Build a huge wall and tower
>Fill it with fire archers
>Spend the next hour of game time building trebuchets and onagers and flinging shit at each other

Fun game but the combat was pretty boring.
Also mercenary rushing is OP as fuck

trebuchet ready m'lord

just posting the best unit in the game
300-500 of those and you can get any castle in just a few minutes (with a lot less being enough to avoid it being built)
use mazemen to take out the main player quicker

I love playing CK2 for the management stuff, and I'd love to try out a Crusader game. Which one can you recommend me that can give me that fix?

>>378966796
fuck, meant Stronghold game

making maps and then seeing the AI lords interact on those was probably the most satisfying thing about the game
I remember playing a 1vs1 match with a friend on a map I made on Stronghold 2
sucks that getting multiplayer matches seems so difficult in the series, I don't play much on pc so I don't know whether it's different in those

>>378966796
this Stronghold collection trailer gives a nice overview of the first five games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSzWEA_WIvc
you might as well go for the entire collection, I recall it being pretty cheap
Stronghold Crusader is the most fun gameplay wise for me

your granary rations are LOW my lord

>>378967209
Do the games have mods?
I'm a sucker for modding

>>378962979
What to buy, 1 or Crusader?

>>378967484
Crusader has plently of mods, there's videos on youtube that show some

Friendly reminder that there's a Crusader mod that replaces graphics with Stronghold 1 visuals, if you're sick of looking at sand but want the skirmish mode.

You're chilling in your mansion building churches and taverns to raise happiness when this motherfucker comes over and tells your knights to watch their backs.
What do?

I want to be a crusader

give me games where I can CRUSADE

>>378967693
I like Crusader better, but haven't played 1 all that much.

>>378968098
I send slaves to burn his farms and horse archers to annoy him. Fight fire with fire, literally.

>>378968112
It doesn't really get much more DEUS VULT than this

>>378968386

I love stronghold crusader but I wanna BE the knight and personally slay Saracens with my own 2 virtual hands though.

>>378968593
M&B Warband with Anno Domini 1257 mod, or Sands of Faith mod.

>>378968593
Mount and Blade Warband has a great mod set in the 1200s including most of Europe and Middle East.

>>378968593
There was a Mount & Blade Warband Crusades mod but I don't know if it ever got finished (probably not). There's 1257AD though, you can go on a crusade there.

[massed crossbow winding noises]

Bought Crusader because it's on sale and Stronghold was like the first game I ever played

Trying to do the campaign at the moment but I keep having issues where when I select troops I can't order them to attack and have to reselect

Love the castle building though
