Love that too, but I would have appreciated more construction options. For example including the building elements from Crusader. Or how about a simple "play a quick map" mode? In the classic you only had Campaign, Siege or Economic play. Not really a simple "play a map" mode, build a castle and your economy, defend it against attacks. So far all I see is a graphical overhaul - I can play the classic one on my system with widescreen monitor without any issues in HD. So why should I buy this version?
@Germankaviar steam multiplayer and much higher res and hz support. I only got 15 or so fps at 1440p. Pathetic. I have a i9-9900k and a 3090, 4k 144hz with 64gb of ram.
I thought this was just a free update for us strong hold owners. Boo! Considering they still charge $40 for Stronghold Crusader 2 I feel this isn't really enough to recycle this again at what? $60?

I put almost all my Stronghold time in Crusader so I hope this pays off and a Stronghold remaster is following. :) I feel a little bad for firefly, looked like the peaked in Stronghold 1 & Crusader.
First game I ever played, back in 2002, I always had it installed since then. There are many custom missions and campaigns on Stronghold Heaven, some way better than the official missions themselves. The one major downside is that, unlike SC Crusader, it doesn't have skirmish.
Stronghold is a 10 out of 10. We desperately need them to make a new one that goes back to it's roots like the first game. Warlords was absolute dogshit. I can't complain about that game enough.
I love Stronghold 1 and even more so 2. Delighted to see them release this but would have loved to see some improved 3D graphics. Manor Lords is on the way, would be a good to time to show what stronghold is made of 😊
I can't remember if I could customize my banner,/crest but I really hope I can. I got to see my distant family crest in Windsor Castle when I was a kid. This series needs a major overhaul and bring it from 2001 to a game of 2023. I.e. some kind of a RP element - like creating what sort of leaders/troops/weapons you have. Environment, climate, way bigger maps, more resources (like from SH2), and a much more realistic time scale (find watching a peasant make one swing of the scythe take one month to do). I'm picky forgive.
This series saddens me. For a time i thought that sequels of the original stronghold would lead to actually building a proper castle but in a easy way without having to remember a ton of keyboard buttons. But in later sequels it felt less and less like more like a standard rts that got boring.

I love stronghold but this is an old mission from a previous version of the game, even the map is the same, it’s a wolf mission and he sends swordsmen in small groups at you
Yes, as we mention at the start of the video the original mission are here, 14 new missions (new campaign), steam multiplayer, and workshop stuff and more are being added.
I have played every Crusader game and it is pain watching you play so inefficiently but I am super excited about this game coming out. I pestered them for years to release another game.
I remember playing Stronghold 2 on my old Windows XP machine around 12 years ago. But even that had better graphics than this. This looks like a game from 25 years ago.
I loved Stronghold when it was first released in 2001. But after all this time I've been waiting for something from them with the same gameplay but updated graphics and AI. I can't believe I'm still waiting. It hardly looks any different from the first version from 22 years ago. Talk about a cash cow.

one of the best games of all time. glad to see it being brought back to life

The sounds on this game are so nostalgic
i'll buy this for the new missions. Never understood why more classic games don't offer new campaigns and missions

4 new missions in total, maybe 30 minutes of gameplay that's what you paying for
@@piotrm5635 Why not just make a new game then? I wouldn't pay $60 for that.
God when i lost all hope in gaming firefly studios comes in to save the day with this classic masterpiece.
Such an exceptional game and music. Great memories

I remember watching you play through the HD addition of strong hold! Batting the pig, rat, and fox! Amazing to see it back on the channel.
The song starting on 5:50 brought me back to my childhood 😢
Under An Old Tree.
The nostalgia brings tears to my eyes.

An early example of newer does not make better. SH3 was a disaster just like Win11
@@davidareeves SH3 wishes they could get the number of users as win11
The series died after Stronghold 2.
I still have this in my pc, ill dfntly check it out. Hopefully more people will get it so the multiplayer goes active
I remember as a kid my cousin showed me it, n I fell in love with it

woah!!! Can't wait for this one!
All time great game, beautiful and made with love
Would have liked them to redo the villain CG portraits
I agree.
I don’t know I sometimes think what it feels to live in an era like this
I just bought the HD edition cause I missed this game, love to see a real remaster!
All the Snakes engineers build here are those shields.
I love stronghold but this is an old mission from a previous version of the game, even the map is the same, it’s a wolf mission and he sends swordsmen in small groups at you
I stand corrected. Same map as previous mission, different enemy.
Never mind again. It is a repeat mission. Build crossbows.
Yes, as we mention at the start of the video the original mission are here, 14 new missions (new campaign), steam multiplayer, and workshop stuff and more are being added.
this looks awesome! Will they do this for crusader as well?
Yep, they're probably working on it. I'm so excited!

Holy shit, I got so excited I just peed a little.
Ayo?? The best Stronghold game is getting another remaster? With workshop and Steam multiplayer? Instant wishlist.
Where can I download the demo? On steam there's only a wishlist button and information about when the full game releases...
Yep I was wondering this too - raptor says we can play it now but I can’t see an option to download a demo?
demo will be out soon
i think it was sent to him
i want to download the demo too
Glory to raptoria we fight we win Glory to raptoria Fight
Fight in the name of raptoria
Ohh yeah
More missions are needed
where you can download the demo!?
You got enough food!!!!make Defence walls and army !!!!
I recomend put market place that will let you sell and buy resources its very usefull
Resolution? Fps? Unlocked? 8k or higher?
Woo deeded. Stone needed.
I like this game very awesome game would consider playing it

You need a pots fire for the archer on the tower 😅
NEW CITIES SKYLINES NEW STRONGHOLD PPL REALLY DONT WANT ME TO FOCUS ON SCHOOL
That brownish red stuff on the hill...is that iron????
if they make skirmish and large multiplayer maps i gonna buy it right away for few friends
I miss the apple trees!!!! ??? Are they still in the game?
whats the difference between HD and Definitive Edition
Higher textures, re done voices, higher fps. Higher res and more modes. And mutliplayer on steam!
looks like a simple remaster
Get Iron and build maces
Sorry, the iron is lost.....

Yes even Stronghold 2 looked better.
Yeah but we at least get a new campaign and multiplayer that works 🥲
How much this gonna cost?????
i would buy it even if is $60 like other games
I think this is stronghold hd??
No.. it's remastered.
my chilhood
I love playing against other people I was the best at it
IT'S A RESKIN.
There are already mods that look better and have multiplayer compatibility.
That will be the last nail in the coffin for the franchise.
