Game is great still only a few things missing nothing a big patch cannot fix kingmaker is a must and more multyplayer maps, after the minor bugs could be handeled but not before kingmaker and proper ai is released in a big patch.
Thanks

Dear FF,
THE biggest problem is the thing with playling multiplayer games. It
is nearly impossible to start a multiplayer game AND finish it!
There is no use in playing stromghold 3 once you finished the - short-
scirpted single player!
Please try your best.
Furthermore we would be glad to get more information. What dis the patch
Today? (24244 or somerhing like this!)

Good bye, DNAA

Firefly, the most user are only angry about the bugs and not aubot the game! So don't think you produced a bad game or something.

I only want to say that.

The military camp. level 9 not able to build sheep farm.
I have used XP.

When I build a wall late of the game the game is crashing.

I'm treating this game as "pre-ordered" right now, played through the first 3 missions today and the bugs make it a nightmare to play (as you all know) looking forward to a patch, always good to know people are paying attention and fixing the problems.

The bugs that have annoyed me the most:
1)Where you click on the screen isn't where the game thinks you've clicked - very very annoying when trying to attack things
2)The GUI, much preferred the SH1/2 interfaces, this one seems a bit backwards, something simple such as knowing when the next peasant is available i had to look around for, quite liked the rotating green ring around the fireplace. Also the map is horrible, bring back the SH1 GUI or at least something more similar.
3)"men at arms" ...you direct them to attack something, so they all throw their spears at the same person, when you have 10 of them throwing spears at once person it becomes a bit **** because then they all have to recharge while the AI will happily target different people with different units, killing you all merrily in one sweep. - suggestion: being able to hold right click to attack everything within a small radius would be good!
4) personal preference but i find the zooming in and out system moving between face down and side on a horrible system, just normal zoom in zoom out would suffice.

On a side note, the idea of taking over Britain on a map was much better than simply choosing a level from a list, some sort of interactive level system that you moved through is much better.

You did so well with stronghold 1, i wish you could have achieved the same thing with this sadly it seems all it'll ever be now though is a bad and buggy game that may one day become a bad bug free game. Drop the name stronghold and don't make a 4th, start a whole new castle game under a new name, use stronghold 1 as the base along with a much much much improved graphics engine and beta test is thoroughly! I look forward to the day something truly worthy of being put in the same class as SH1 is released from you guys

EDIT: You know thinkign about it, what you should have done is simply kept everything from stronghold 1 and kept most of it the same, the game mechanics, gui, etc. then just expanded it, added units and buildings, better graphics and so on, rather than attemptign to completely rework it with new wall systems and in game menus etc.

What I can tell thus far from an inability to select units you are blatantly clicking seems like the axis is entirely off haha, its as if the game detects where are mouse really is from ground up, but our eagle eye view isn't the same haha.

Just a tiny thing, soldiers can now destroy stone walls with their swords and spears? WTHell ???. Sorry but I thought, that only happend in Age of Empires.

I hope it's true when you say you listen to your fans???

How unprofessional to advertise and tease your most loyal of fans to get them all excited...only to release a flawed product??? (that's what game testers are FOR, to find and feedback fix these things PRIOR to release!!

YOU Should FIRE who ever is/was the current project mgr of Stronghold 3!!!

It used to be, "I buy a game, I install it and have fun"


I just rec'd Stronghold 3 in the mail 2 days ago (from Amazon)

I was so excited because i'm a huge fan. But why did you guys use Steam??? It's so annoying!!

Is it possible to play my Stronghold 3 THAT I TRUELY PAID FOR...OFFLINE without steam???

After installation, I had to wait for an update...then there was an error upon changing my direct X. Now 3 days later...Steam is saying that my game is Unavailable????

You guys used to be an example of a GREAT Game design company. What happened? Fire, your current boss and bring back whoever was in charge of the original stronghold release.

I have seen other members speaking about downloading the game from YOUR HOME Website? Is that free from Steam?

VERY Frustrated fan, I havn't even been able to play this game NOT ONCE!!
"O"

My game keeps crashing when I try to move from level 2 to level 3 in the economic campaign. I've tried all kinds of updates, downloads, etc. and it has not helped my problem. I know that the recent patch was supposed to help with the crashing in the military campaign, but wasn't sure if it helped with an economic campaign crash. Please tell me what I can do so I can continue on with the game. I am eager to get beyond level 2. Thanks!
