Of these is "dance lady" manipulation which involved trapping the lady and the kitchen deliverers in certain ways to maximize the efficiency of dance time. Stronghold 2 went through years of meta improvements online and you would not believe the complexity of certain strategies that developed. Part of why I like Crusader is the multiple AI and their diverse castle designs something that is lacking in the skirmish mode of later games (except for Crusader 2). It's also got some balance issues, but that just adds to the fun/challenge in single player. It's not as good as 2 or Crusader, but it's got some things that 2 doesn't (Siege towers holding units, moving trebuchets).Ĭrusader is probably the most fun 2.5D game, at least in terms of fast-paced/exciting gameplay. Legends is OK I think the fantasy setting, unique units, and story campaigns are its strong suit. Something worth mentioning is the camera controls you can zoom in very close to the ground/action. Plenty of single-player content, which is nice.

I share your opinion that Stronghold 2 is the best of the 3D games though there are some balance issues (at least for multiplayer).

Probably not worth the full price, but definitely worth picking up if it's on sale. There's some bugs and rebalanced units/buildings/mechanics to get used to, but it's not a terrible game. (I have also played a little of Crusader 2, but not enough to form an opinion of it yet)ģ is an OK game like you said, the story and its campaign are well enough.

while combat could stay just as fun and not too fast - it is also hard to see the difference at first.I started with Crusader, then 1>2>Legends>3. Nevertheless, setting game to 50 could indeed make things more interesting because weapons would be produced faster, etc. I was like "hey, it's just the way it is, but yes - you could set game speed to higher, although you said you didn't want to do that". I realize that I wasn't much helpful with these, and I am sorry for that. I'd also like to say that many don't play Stronghold, Stronghold Crusader and Stronghold 2 in game speed 40 - they play it in game speed 50, as that makes the game more dynamic while it's still not too fast and it looks natural as well. Maybe that just comes after playing more games in 60 fps (which seems to be a standard nowadays), but maybe it's just that some of us are not able to notice that difference. I also find it really interesting that you notice the difference between 60 and 40 fps.

Maybe you could try setting frequency to highest possible, though I don't believe this would do the job. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to do that. It is noticeable, but I could have played ten more years this game and I wouldn't notice a thing.

Still, I wouldn't call this an issue, Firefly gave us ability to slow down the game so we would be able to do stuff we need to do while fighting against AI lords, and those of us who slow the time down care more about the gameplay than about this thing which we wouldn't notice at all if there weren't tools such as fraps. It's not like FPS drop in some games followed worse responsiveness - Stronghold 2 works great, and everything responds just as usual - the only thing here one wouldn't like is that the game does have lower FPS which can be seen. I believe that Firefly intentionally made it like this, and mostly because "it works", which is the case here. FPS normally goes around 40 - even in game speed faster than 40, but in slower game speed FPS is approximately equal to game that game speed. I guess that it is just the way it works when it is about Stronghold 2. I just tried the same thing you described, and yes, in my case fraps said that fps was 10 when gamespeed was reduced to 10. It has been several hours so I am making a new message here.
