Stronghold: Warlords

hi is good

The game is faster paced than other strong hold series. It is also much harder. The computer AI has set way of doing things however and all you need do is figure out what that is or attack fast and take warlords as fast as possible. But when enemy starts with best troops and keeps making them all is lost very quickly making for more of a chaotic war game than any strategy whatsoever. This is of course if you can install them game with out anti virus calling the .exe a virus over and over. Why they haven't fixed that is questionable at best since its been going on for a long time now. Another issue I had was game crashes being often so be sure to save more often. I have not played long to say the game is mediocre, and I actually like the two prior to this much better. Have to play the game in pause mode alot to live. I dont prefer that but thats me. I would get Age of Empires 4 or older versions of stronghold before recommending this one.

Юниты уж очень глупые, в старом СХ юниты в разы сообразительней были, прикольно, что новая сюжетка, есть онлайн, но играть не приятно, когда из армии в 50 юнитов, бьют врага только 15... а остальные просто бегают туда-сюда. Подкрутите ИИ и будет то, что надо!

Ich finde es gut

中庸之作

Okay, do not buy full price. It feels like Stronghold Crusader 2 with an Ancient to Feudal Asia re-skin. One big problem I have with this game is that it feels like a mashup of Asian history for a couple of hundred years and not a focused time like in Crusader. Such as the early age of China, Sun Tzu, Gengis Kahn in Mongolia to Hideyoshi, in Feudal Japan. (Why not Ieasyu Tokogawa since his shogunate lasted for about 200 years?) So you will see what looks like tribals with spears and shields facing well armed Samurai. None of these warlords ever met since they were hundreds of years apart. Although there were a lot of records of Samurai reading Sun Tzu and learned from him and the Mongols did fight the Samurai. It's more or less the same game you have played before, cosmetic changes. Tea is ale, food is food, although you can select how much of a specific food is consumed. Silk clothing is candles for a popularity boost, it's the same game just with a re-skin. Multiplayer is there if you want it Unless you absolutely love the mechanics of Stronghold and could use a new coat of paint that's fine. It was not enough to bring me back into the series
