Stronghold and Crusader were epic, still play them, but 2 was a fail comparing the first two, dunno about this one...
2 was far beyond fail, and cuz of that game even if this looks good and i want it to be good, i just feel this will be installed and after first 20 mins never played again.. oh prove me wrong please..
Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader are epic and awesome games. The newer one was pure shit. I hope Stronghold 3 will be as epic as the old ones. The quotes from above should be there too for sentimental times
This could be one of the big surprises of 2011 as far as I'm concerned. I've been excited about this for as long as I've heard about it. Fingers are crossed.
