Sure the first two missions were fine but number 3 is a case study in why strategy titles like this need a speed up mode. I haven't tried the war campaign but so far the economic campaign has failed to excite. Maps are microscopic in comparison to SH2 maps.
Even sandbox mode was lacking the ability to build an awesome castle. As one who loved stronghold 2, I felt empty playing SH3.

I love the stronghold series and I ALWAYS give a game a good opportunity to impress me before I make a decision.

The dreadful reviews will start pouring in soon - hold off on that purchase, wait till you find it in the bargain bin, which won't be very long. Many aspects of the gameplay are quite simply broken, and there is no skirmish mode, just a horrible lackluster campaign. You have to be worried when a castle building game doesn't give your troops any defensive bonus at all for being behind walls - none whatsoever. The game simply isn't worth playing in it's current state, and it's merely a throwback to Stronghold 2 and not the original and best Stronghold 1. Mission design is poor, the maps are tiny, the animations are rudimentary and the graphics engine is glitchy. They've had to make this game on a shoestring budget, and it shows from the beginning with the bugs and the use of black and white drawings in place of cinematics. Pre-ordering games just doesn't pay nowadays as developers seem determined to release their unfinished, unpolished, half-implemented rubbish on the paying public. This game is an unfinished, buggy mess and I wish I could get my money back. This game I've come online to get this review in early in the hope that I can save other Stronghold fans from making the same mistake I did. Who knows yours might be greater.I've come online to get this review in early in the hope that I can save other Stronghold fans from making the same mistake I did.

Please feel free to comment about the map and also post if there is a problem about it because maybe I forgot something, so that I can fix it right away or maybe share your ideas that might be added to the map. Don't worry, the Oatbreakers/dead men will come too. You can also train some armed peasants, archers, crossbowmen, pikemen, swordsmen, knights, fighting monks, light cavalry, outlaws, thief, and engineers.Ģ The second mission is to survive from the attacking invasions until the Rohan aid comes which is a computer player (don't worry they will do there job)ģ Mission 3 is about a massive reinforcement of the enemy that could possibly wipe out Rohan. Are you as king prepared for the invasions?ġ On this mission you are given 150 months to prepare your defenses for the massive invasion. As we all know Osgiliath has already fallen to the hands of orcs so now their massive army is expected any day. The white city, Minas tirith originally called Minas Anor is the heavily fortified capital of Gondor. Also the SOUNDS of birds, winds, busy city, sea and waves etc., everything I add needs some time to think. So I tried a lot that sometimes it is stressful and for me to make it easier is to write it down :D On the other hand, landscapes pictures inspires me about the terrain in the map. Honestly the Invasion plan is the most difficult because it is hard to input how many armies would ivade the castle without some lag. It took me so long because I work it all from creating the map, missions, events, invasions, unit modification & animation, replacing stronghold 2 speeches w/ BFME II. I took me almost 3 months to make this, together with lots of days thinking what to add or removed, about mission and speacially the invasion plan. I think the perfect recipe for creating something is with love, passion and inspiration. Yet again, I always give my 100 percent on all my work like creating maps because I enjoyed creating something that reflects my personality.
Sorry if it took me some time to finish this one because I got busy and I resumed working on it just this november. The White city, Minas tirith is finally here.
