For me I would say 10/10 - because I love this game from releasing. New units and lords are awesome, plenty of bugfixes, players requested features, new trails and campaigns with new challenges - I can't wait for a full version. :) Graphics and details looking really nice. Also we see very little of everything... There is still 5-6 months of waiting, I think plenty of surprises are coming with them :))

@@strongholdaddiction we've waited decades, a few months more is nothing. glad to hear it's so good. need to fix my PC to play the demo but till then, these videos will do.

Definitely! ❤ Can't wait for a full version to come out!!

I mean... AI is dumb yes. But that's what I like about it. The original game is over 20 years old, and if they just improved on graphics a bit and added an automated market, it is already enough for me. As someone who plays stronghold for such long times, honestly, AI doesn't matter that much to me. Peacefully developing castles, economy, and army like a glorified castle builder will be fun. Having harder difficulty is like for those hard-core few who really want the challenges... Maybe my opinion is wrong, but I'll rather have this than some DEI inclusive or LGBTQ disasters of the games we have today.

That's true. They didin't rework whole engine. But surely there is for fixes and for AI's performance. And every other things are really great like graphics, new units, new lords, new trails, player suggested functions, fixed glitches and so on... I'm really happy this game finally comes out and really excided to try out full version!

Indeed ❤

I Wanna Play The Game But It's Not Available In Iraq Anymore 💔​@@strongholdaddiction

They will! Game will be translated to the Turkish language!

I think there is plenty :D I'm personally little bit old, i'm already 30 years old. :))

Thanks mate! Can't wait for a full version!

No mate! It's an official game! Planned date for full game realising is Jul 15 - 2025. :) Demo if free available on steam!

Yeah mate, go for it. :) Demo is available free on steam!

It should be! :D

Planning to, didin't have a time atm... :/

@@strongholdaddiction Definitely do that. It's pretty good.

Hey mate, that's really accurate comment. You're the first one from channel creation mentioning that - yes that's true I have some kind of sh*t like you mentioned. :) I'm trying to work with that. Thanks for the comment after all. ❤

@ bro calm down it’s a joke 😅😅 I was just joking about the fact that you don’t build ur building neatly and u just just place them where ever u find

Yeah. Will do it for sure, I think there is an option in unofficial patch to increase limit. :)

Lol, that's true :D ❤

Many thanks mate! ❤

❤

Thanks mate! ❤

His economy is working, but just not as good as Saladin's. It's just a different gradation of difficulty for the player.

Yo, you always mentioning accurate, important and interesting things. I really love and appreciate your opinion and tips. ❤ Will be doing fights in the regular conditions also! :)

And yes, now I realized that score in timestamp it's pretty bad spoil. Thanks for mentioning that.

Thanks mate 🤗❤

hey mate, yeah - i think i will do even more rounds and rotate not just positioning of AI's but also maps and gold income

⁠@@strongholdaddiction I’m doing these 1v1 scenarios with ucp improved castles and 4K starting gold. The lord rankings are pretty well shaken up just by improving castle efficiency and slightly altering economy without completely changing each lords vanilla identity. The pig for example beats the lionheart every time because his defense is so much better with the improved economy supporting those macemen and pikemen hordes and the crossbows mowing down lionhearts heavy armor.

Yes, ofcourse. As you see mate :)

Lol, should I do a rematch? :D 4 Saladins vs 4 Richards? :D

Salamaleikum brother ❤

Hey mate, you need to install unofficial patch to do that.

Yeah, you're right mate :)

That's funny, but that's true :D

Hey mate! What do you mean by that?

​@@strongholdaddiction Their respective castles being in range of each other's tower defenses.

Hey mate. It's Wolf/Saladin. Also I have done done me versus 7 Saladins, you should check it out :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4e2qJ15fZmAitk

Hey mate, I don't know about free, but it at these days cost like a cup of coffee. It's like 2$ for a legal version... www.g2a.com/n/shchd

Hey mate! that's a good one! Maybe you got record of it? I can edit and put yours if possible. :)

@strongholdaddiction unfortunately, I wasn't recording while beating it, maybe i should give some advices so you will go through a lot of pain, or perhaps i would restart it but record it.

Nice mate! It's also an old video, there is alot harder challenges I have done also - for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnjVg2lmdp2Xra8

Thank you my man! It means alot to me that someones watching my "sh*t" and finding it interesting or enjoyable. Communitys of the stronghold are pretty small, but looks like this game still has own fanbase. :) Like a heroes 3 and other legendary games. :)

@@strongholdaddiction Nah your videos aren't sh*t they are actually very well made

Big thanks to you my friend! I'm putting effort to it... Before starting the channel I even bought new pc for a 3000 euros to be able to stream, record high quality, render in high quality and so on. Also I'm still learning editing and sh*t. Hard understand youtube algorythm especially in tight nishes like this one, because sometimes you can put alot of hours in it and it's getting very few views, sometimes pretty low quality content getting more attention... :)

Now that's dedication right here! The KZbin algorithm is really complicated and sometimes even weird. I'd also love to learn how to edit and really just understand KZbin but as you said, it is hard and time consuming and seeing low quality content having more views is also not helping. Respect to you

Thanks mate in advice, but looking to it fairly that's equals pretty much like cheating so the challenge than more easier, don't you think? :) Anyways it's a good tip. ❤

Hey mate! You can remove yourself from the game using stronghold unofficial patch created by players. :)

@@strongholdaddiction link?

ok, i google it for you mate... : ) unofficialcrusaderpatch.github.io/

@@strongholdaddiction I have installed the UCP. but there's a notification 'give GUI the security access to the game folder' can u please help me where can I set it on? many thanks!

Will do mate! ❤

❤

Challenge accepted mate. :) You should check my videos - this is an old one - there is 3k vs 40k with 5-7 wolfs already done. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnjVg2lmdp2Xra8

@@strongholdaddiction Not bad

Hehe, thanks mate! It was tough... :)

Hey mate, this map and this kind of scenario was bugged, that's why - as saw it only after sometime when I watched video by myself... :)

Hehe, thats how we win battles! :D Thnx mate!

Me neither :)))

LOL, comment of the year for sure! :D :D

Always Sir! ❤

Lionheart is very much an offensive lord.

That's right. Richard has shitty defense no archers and so on, but he's offensive one.

Hey mate! Which lord is the Big one? :D

Guys - I just wanted to say for ya - i'm playing crusader since 2002 from the release of this game. Addiction of this game is healthiest of all addictions exists. :D
