Stronghold 2 DE?

[LaSoupe]

It's going to happen? I think if comes out, would be a blast!!!
Played this game since day 1 and I love it.
Some additional content, balance and bug fixes. Perfect

I highly doubt, that something like that would happen anytime soon. The graphics would need a major rework and the next DE, that will happen (if any new DE will happen) will 100% crusader.

[Cortes]

Well, looks like next Stronghold is the new game in Unreal engine and afterwards, probably Stronghold Crusader. Especially if new game is not delivering again.

Afterwards? Who knows but personally, I'd love a DE for S2.
Heck, I can't think about that without thinking what I consider a 'must' for a S2 DE.

I'm hoping for both Stronghold 2 and Crusader remakes, even Legends would be great at some point

[LaSoupe]

yes!!!

[Mertovski]

This company does not know itself, do not wait in vain

[xXGreyXx]

Does anyone here know about the problem that I'm having and any way that it could be fixed?

[pauldiazberrio]

Crusader DE will pave the way for 2. After July, the company may believe this entry of the series deserves a remaster.

I would pay twice how much Crusader DE gonna cost just to get Stronghold 2 DE, Stronghold series just to good to be forgotten

What is DE? But ya, I'd love a real successor to SH2. Scrap 3 entirely; it was garbage and lacking very important elements that were in SH2. No moats? LOLz

Things I'd love in a successor to Stronghold 2 with the following
1. A score or metrics after winning a kingmakers; not just a "good job, fade to black."
2. Ability to turn on gridlines so you can more easily build your castle.
3. A real must-have is the AI castle update that some awesome builders made; I have it; and in kingmaker mode it makes the games infinitely more interesting since the AI castles are superb.
4. The ability to see inside the bigger gatehouses. Presently, when we put units inside the gatehouse, we can't see them. Maybe this was something they didn't have time to finish. But ya, let's make it so we can see the inside of the gatehouse just like we can see inside of towers.

These are pretty minor which is testament to the incredible game that the SH2 creators built.

Kingmaker mode needs a lot of work. It's pretty fun but genuinely feels incomplete compared to the skirmish mode of Crusader, Legends or Crusader 2. The score board at the end is a must-have for sure. But also the AIs need to be more interactive. In the other games, they always trash talk the player or make comments. In kingmaker, they only ever say something when taking an estate, attacking the player or dying. If they're your allies, they're just completely mute all the time.
Castle updates are also a must. Especially for some AIs like Lady Seren. If the game starts at freeman level, she's basically a dead fish. She doesn't produce or buy any royal foods (despite building a kitchen) so it takes her an hour to reach knight rank.
Also, the mode needs a colour picker like in later games. It's not a big deal, but it'd be really nice to be able to play against a grey Sir Grey or dark red William.
