hello there!

anyone knows what will be the requirements for stronghold 3??
will it be bigger than stronghold2/legends??
it would be great if firefly will minimize the requirements...

hoping the game will not pass my rig...

my old skul rig:
amd athlon 2 x2 215 2.7 ghz x2
2gb ram
9400gt vram

A new 3D engine being used so I think it is safe to assume the requirements will be higher.
Having said that it's just a guess, only FF can answer that question honestly and with the game still in development not even they could give you a proper answer yet most likely. Scaling the graphics comes pretty late in the development cycle.

Well I hope the system requirements are up to date but are not so demanding that most of the stronghold community could not play it.

Ok here is my input on graphics, I wish, that the company would make this game to the highest standard, however, have a downgraded installation for those who have not updated there systems yet.

My biggest thing is this... Ive spent alot of time and effort to up my PC to a high enough standard that most games dont even come close to straining the limits. So for me a stronghold with minimum requirments would probly just stink, royaly. But if they offer a version that is high end and lowend, then it would be nice for everyone. The low ends could buy the same game, play t on there systems, and when they upgrade the systems, they could also upgrade the game to the better quality.



On that note, I dont think it is a new 3D compared to the last stronghold. but the same 3D just tinkered around abit. I feel to the company it is new. But to us it would be the same 3D we saw in SH2 and Legends.

I'm pretty sure the new 3D engine will be vastly different to that of SH2/L. Those graphics just don't hold up and with visuals as important as they are to people these days it would be foolish to not vastly improve on what we have seen in the past.
(speaking in general terms of course, I still play SH1 and SHC).

FF did not say they tweaked their old engine, they said it was new. I would be very suprised if SH3 resembled SH2 in any way because of this.

I think much the same. They would make the best graphics they can so that it appeals to the widest player-base. Graphics-*****s are not a minority. I would love to see great graphics provided it doesn't take anything away from the gameplay.

shl is 6 years old... the same engine would be horrible, sh3 release in 2011, the games today have some real badass graphics in HD!
I know strategy games are not games with best graphics but we need more expert technics in it.

another thing, you moderators are the eyes of firefly right? tell them please that they sould not the same misstakes with bugs like sh2 and shl this ruin the whole game

Us moderators are simply fans with the ability to help in the forums. Our contact with FF is not that different to anyone else though we do communicate when need be

I trust FF to make a perfect game, they read the forums are have a very good understanding of what we all want

i hope that the graphics will be hardcore good
i love high graphics games (:
and just cause your computer cant handle badass graphics firefly cant make the game have lesser requirements.
they would loss money, very much money... today graphics is nearly more important than gameplay.
cause people first sees the graphics(from screenshoot or whatever), and then they will think "that game looks nice", after that they will watch gameplay videos from youtube... graphics is what attracts people from first, gameplay makes people wanna buy it, without good graphics people wont even look at gameplay...
