Stronghold 2
Stronghold 2
Description (IGDB)
Tax, torture or treat your peasants! Rehabilitate criminals or sentence them to death? Decide as you joust over a lavish banquet, all while under siege from the warmongering Lord Barclay. Will you entertain with medieval tournaments or rule with an iron fist and dispense feudal justice to overworked and malnourished peasants? With powerful barons jostling for power over a disintegrating kingdom, it is up to you to stem the tides of ambition and unite the land under the one true King! Building on the sim gameplay of the original Stronghold, Stronghold 2 allows players to rule as they please and still conquer each skirmish. Unhappy peasants turn to crime and must be punished, rival lords can raise entire armies on their title alone and sieges must be fought tooth and nail, with close combat taking place inside castle structures. Stronghold 2 Online extends this gameplay to competitive multiplayer for up to eight players, with offline skirmish mode also available against computer-controller opponents. The online services used GameSpy which was shutdown. The Steam Edition is the only version of Stronghold 2 that still features multiplayer using Steam Multiplayer.

Avis des joueurs Steam
Comme Legends le jeu est moins bien que Crusader et Stronghold 1. La 3d a tué cette série.
Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The vastly improved graphics are a joy to behold, the new punishment stations add a dimension to gameplay and the various modes will keep you playing 'til doomsday and beyond. It's almost perfect atmosphere-wise, and I could not have wished for anything more. »
« There are a handful of games that provide greater economic depth, or are more immediate and spectacular on the field of battle, but few marry these two traditional aspects of real-time strategy so seamlessly and with so much charm. [PC Zone] »
« If you're into serious castle-building and siegecraft, nothing else comes close. [July 2005, p.64] »
« The new perspective works excellently and the added buildings and units are welcome. It's a shame some of the old problems, like the unconvincing AI, are still around, but the intricate economy and unusual siege play make it stand out. »
« It is a breeze to get started and there are helpful hints to aid those new to the genre. »
« A more in-depth take on strategy than normal, but not quite a "Rome"-beater. [June 2005, p.93] »
« Whether you want to follow the story-driven campaign, or simply reconstruct the motte and bailey delights of Dover Castle, you'll be hard pressed to unearth an RTS that plays for keeps quite as well as this. [PC Gamer UK] »
« Stronghold 2 is addictive in its complexity and rich in its many-layered economic management system, not to mention challenging (yes, partly thanks to the lack of help in learning how to play the damn thing). »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It's really fun to play. a lot of improvments since the first game, don't know what's all the crying about »
« Nisam je ni zavrsio, previse bugova u kampanji igrica je samo okej i to jedva. »
« not bad it has some good things but overall game is not so special it's just not bad. »
« Not very good. I did't like the fact that game become 3D game. Some mechanics where interesting »
« I think it is the best STRONGHOLD in the franchise because the graphics are cool and the story is nice also it has more items in game - 9/10 »
« This game is one of the best game in series I don't know why this game is so get hated »
« My first experience with this was the Demo I downloaded from a website long ago in 2007 when I was around 10yo. I played so much with the demo that I ended up buying the game my allowance. And up to this day, I come back and play with it (rebought it on Steam) The castle building, management, chain production, banquets, dances. The only Stronghold that had a better fleshed-out sim. Battles were also great, sieges even more »
« This game is perfect example of why sometimes you should stick to 2d, instead of switching to 3d. For me the play style is completely different, and not as fun. The additions of waste, rats and more makes the game more complex, but it doesn't changed that it's very mediocre at best. »
