And I'm still amazed that they both thought it was a good idea to move over to ugly early 3D graphics... ...and then double and triple down by releasing hordes of new Stronghold games that each successively failed to do what the first managed.
The music for this game was great. Absolutely love every track and even use them at my dnd sessions since I'm in charge of building the playlists. I remember picking the game up on a whim and just spending hours setting things up, testing out different plans, and the occasional stupid decision making and tactics that somehow paid off. This was another game I got my dad into. I know my copy is on one of my shelves, might just have to revisit this game now.
I remember playing the game around the time it appeared. Didn't lasted long, because I couldn't keep the food ratio up. Left it alone for some time and then I revisited it again, finding something great. I loved listening to its beautiful music in the free build mode. I will post a couple more music and ambience videos from this game in the following weeks. I'm also considering posting a Port Royale video.
Beautiful game. Good pre-rendered 2D visuals have a magical charm that 3D can not capture. After all these years even the original visuals look great and the HD versions are really good too.
Winston Wolfe! I help solve problems. You got a stiff in the horse drawn cart, residing in the barn. Jimmy? Make us the finest tankard of ale, lotsa hops, lotsa frothy head!
This gives me anxiety ; where is the stockpile ? Half your economy (your wheat farmers, mill boys, brewers) is idle because there is no stockpile. The iron is unexploited. The tower is empty and unguarded :o
