Is this game garbage?
I know that the original stronghold is good but this one has horrible ratings. I have the original stronghold and the crusader extreme one but i have also played stronghold 2 and own stronghold 3 so i do know stronghold. Will this be a disappointment?

something in between garbage and good XD.
It works but you will be missing alot of stuff from crusader 1.
Sad because they told us they want to keep as much as possible from the original.
They failed in this.

They should focus again on the actual castle building cus zith every new title your castle itself becomes less and less important.

Long-term player of Crusader 1 and 2 - it's NOT garbage, Crusader 2 is a bit more simplified and quirky with some things missed from Crusader 1 but overall very enjoyable none the less. If you haven't though, play Crusader 1 for sure first.

Even the somewhat bad remaster of Stronghold 2 is better than that, shame since remaster of Legends is somewhat decent.
unfortunately every stronghold after crusader was pure trash
stronghold 1 is very good (lacks skirmish ofc)
crusader 1 is extremely good (desert gets boring after a while)
everything after (except crusader HD and extreme (which has way too few content))

And now back to this.

well not every single one. i mean a lot of the newer ones are bad yes, but not all.

for example this game here would be good in my opinion, but not with a unit cap on that scale.
you can't have these enormous battles like in the first crusader, and no, i am not talking about extreme. you didn't need to own extreme to have a army with more than 600 units. in a 2v2 or 3v3 fight.
now you already got 250 unit cap on 2v2. so you got a few archers on your walls and a few units for attacking, but not that much that you could do huge fights and long term games.
i think they tried to make a faster gameplay like that, but i don't like it personally.

i would love if there would be an option to adjust the cap at least this much that you could have 250 cap on an 8 players. that would be an limit thats ok for me, but not 125 on 8 players, thats too low.

idk why they actually limited it that much, it was on no stronghold i played before, and thats what i loved about these games, building big castles, and a big army and then have huge battles.

i like the way you need to do more tactics because of a lower unitcap, so 250 cap on lowest point, would be ok as i said, but 125??
no.
thats why i only have like 6 hours? and now i remember why i deinstalled it after buying it instantly.

if you don't care about this, this might be a good game for you.
but i love to have big and epic battles. we used to have very intense rounds, but that seems not to be possible here, in my opinion.
and thats probably one of the reasons it got so bad ratings, because it is not compareable to the first crusader, it is a disappointment for those, who thought they gonna have a crusader 1 with better graphics and so on.

sadly they probably wont change it. :steamsad: :shcflag:

Funny thats still more than strategy games that also count peasants as army, still suprising it was kept in Crusader 2 since they removed the limits in Stronghold 3, sure it took them 5 years for that but still, seems they are experimenting on it, or at least were.
Warlords for now still has low limits, but its Alpha and its just there to showcase some neat things here and there and quality of life improovements, we have yet to see what it actually can do.
Does this game still have the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ limit count you guys are talking about? I don't feel like waiting for it to download if it still does.
