GAMES LIKE STRONGHOLD WARLORDS MODS

For MP however, it means that we will need some good house rules to make it fun and exciting. But again, it is the same as with exploits. I won't go into details here, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone reading this. Regarding balance issues: it is actually possible to create a very strong, but one-sided economy. Playing randoms can often just be annoying and a waste of time. But like you said on the Steam forum: it has always been better to play with friends. Of course this is a problem in MP, when people want to win at all cost. But yea, I dont understand the complaints about this: if you don't like exploits, don't use them. Regarding exploits: There are some really strong ones, which allow to play with a cheesy strategies. Unfortunately it also has a few points, where it falls behind Crusader2: game balance and exploits. In so many ways it has improved: unit collision, the warlord system, different levels of housing to name just some of them. Yes, I think this game is better than Crusader 2.

It just feels much better for me at this moment than to play from the beginning with everything enables.Īnd, now when I told it about Warlords, maybe this is what should do with Crusader 2 as well. I think it is going to be better for me to get used to this game step by step through the campaign, as this way I will be forced to try varieties of things without any rush: fighting with different types of troops, feeding people with different types of food, etc. 😁īy the way, for now, I have decided to play all the from the beginning: I'm not skipping the campaign. If I am wrong, I would like to be proven wrong. Plus, the game doesn't even remember my previous choice, it always switches back to the default one.

For example, I haven't seen an option to change my crest - if there is any? And, why am I not able to change the lord from the main menu, but only before starting a skirmish game. Still, Warlords do seem to have some issues. I ignored the bad graphics and I avoided gigantic maps, and that was it. Just like when I was a kid, I was playing Empire Earth on a computer which just wasn't powerful enough, but I still played it because the game was fun. Nevertheless, I feel that if Crusader 2 was more interesting with regard to gameplay, I would have played it much more despite of small lags and low graphics. Now, another thing that could be here is that I am playing Warlords on my newer computer, while Crusader 2 and Stronghold 3 I was mostly playing on an older one. 😎 Just like Vetka made tons of maps for Stronghold 2, Stronghold 3, Crusader 1, etc., which are way better than the original maps! Although, from what I've seen, the landscapes could be better, but I expect to see tons of fan-made maps 'fixing' that issue.

Crusader 2 misses a lot of small stuff, and they seem to have taken time into those in Warlords. Indeed it's great! Unlike Crusader 2, this one seems very interesting. For sure a step in the right direction for FireFly. And the devs are posting there and asking for feedback and questions.

The mods there keep it nice and constructive. As always, there are reports of instability in MP after launch and I am waiting for some more patches, before I go into that area. I guess easy and normal are more for players that are new to SH and there is extreme difficulty now for the pros. I find that I can complete most missions on the second attempt and even had to go back to 'normal' on one occasion so far. Some of the hardcore players say that the AI is too easy, but for a casual gamer like me, the 'hard' difficulty setting of the missions is just fine. You should be able to see it here:īeyond that, I can say that I am really enjoying it. I actually just posted a review on Steam.
