In Age Of Empires micromanaging your units makes you far better than anyone and age of empires is more complex, somehow
While in stronghold micromanaging only gets you so far and instead its more of SPAM THE ♥♥♥♥ TON OF SOMETHING, and win, now that can be done in any strategy, but in Stronghold the way units work, it may take either 10 minutes or, 10 years.

that a differnt games!

Age of Empires is a more strategic game, Stronghold has become an Arcade-style game, could be interesting but unfortunately it is not. A serious castle-builder needs a far more complicated economy.

Besides, the makers don't care about their customers. Ridiculous paid downloads while the game is not finished. Overall, bad performance, better play Age of Empires.

'has become and arcade style game' Stronghold can't be more arcade since, ever, it uses a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point system and not rock paper scisors [health damage armor rather than spears beat horses] actually combat got more complex in Crusader 2 which has bit of rock paper scisors [pikemen on guard stand down and do massive damage to charges], and Stronghold was never serious castle builder, its prob even more simpler than age of empires [now i am talking about Age of empires 2 now since, thats the one i played] ,only real serious it got was Stronghold 2, which is hated to guts so thats out of game, you can say its complex in a way that every multiplayer game needs you to be at top and be really fast but, it turns into horse and archers mess which is fun but, not that strategic where as AOE 2 depending on faction diferent strats work like one may be better in guns or pikes or bows or be Huns and don't require houses [or was it Celts don't need houses]

Could you be more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid excuse me, i can perfectly fine solo with archers and peasants thank you very much, and its incredible simple to play with even bloody swordsmen, sure in multiplayer its diferent story you have to use crossbow men but in any other scenario [unless we are talking skirmish trails but, in every game skirmish trails are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥] you don't need crossbowmen
