STRONGHOLD UPDATE – NEW HD PATCH

Tomorrow a free update will be released for Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD. The new 1.4 patch adds support for new resolutions, localized campaign maps and a few long overdue bug fixes! The new update for both HD Stronghold games will release tomorrow as an automatic update on Steam and be followed by further updates, Steam Edition upgrades and new Stronghold games on PC and mobile.

Don’t have the games on Steam? Follow these links to download the latest non-Steam updates for Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD!


Available for both HD Stronghold games, the 1.4 patch will add support for two additional resolutions requested by players, as well as a few minor bug fixes involving archer fire and map crashes. Stronghold HD will also feature in-game maps of Poland, Japan and Brazil, added to the original game’s campaign. These minor additions to the our first two games are being released to signal that they’re still important to us! Further updates can and should be expected in the near future.

For the time being we will continue to work toward the releases of Stronghold Kingdoms (iOS/Android) and Stronghold 2: Steam Edition this summer. Once these titles are released worldwide focus will shift to the next mainline Stronghold game for PC.

What do you mean with cheaty AI? I don think the AI is cheating, but they could improve the AI. Most Army get together in front of your Castle way too close and they dont mind if the army gets decimated

AI can literally hire an entire army without producing guns and considering economy :V

Considering the fact that the AI get free money/morale I'd say that cheating, I mean you can burn down everything and leave it with no food and put archers so they shoot any new peasents, the ai will continue to gain morale and money from nothing. That's what I've seen atleast.

Loaded up the game and couldnt see these maps. Anyone know how to find them?

[Ritter in Rot]

@Ayekei

It changes the Main-campaign map to Poland or Japan or Brazil. I think you will see them if you play with the respective language.

From what I have seen happiness resets to 70 after being 0 for a while and I think this also happened for the player. Not sure about the gold thing though.

Yes guys, the AI cheats. The game was released in 2002. They wanted to make sure that you couldn't easily cripple the AI with cheap tactics sabotaging the economy. The AI isn't complex enough to adapt dynamically to the threat of the player, so if they didn't give the AI a little boost when you've knocked them on their ass, they wouldn't be able to fight back or recover at all. Their intent was to provide more enjoyable gameplay, not to piss players off.

The small sums of free gold and bonus morale are handicaps for the AI, used against superior players when necessary.

I wouldn't want to see any changes to the AI this late after the game's original release, though. Even though it might be cheating a little, which I've never found too problematic, it's part of the charm of this retro RTS. It'd be changing the game too much.
