In SH1, when you became unpopular your popularity dropped slowly until it reaches below 50 where you start to lose peasants. The popularity system has been reworked in that dynamic rather than static. Workers still deliver to the stockpile/armoury/granary from their workplaces in the same fashion as SH1. Some buildings like the woodcutters and ox tehters have been changed for the better and sure enough there have been new additions to the game as well. all which resemble their SH1 counterparts. The veterans will feel familiar with the apple orchards, cows, various weapon workshops, barracks, armoury etc. Most noticably are the buildings and how they work. The developers of SH3 have sure enough reverted some gameplay back to SH1. The units seem more of a cross between SH1 and SH2, whilst the terrain favours for a SH2 appearance. Some buildings seem to lack decoration at all such as the barracks which looks like a rectangular block with a few crenulations. The 'new' realistic graphics are debatable and seem to be bland making the world colourless and dull with buildings looking very alike due to their thatch roofing. The developers have boasted that they've taken out the things people didn't like in the failed SH2 and reimplemented our favorite aspects of SH1, but does it succeed?įans of this series will immeditely notice the similarity of the graphics of this game with that of SH2. Stronghold 3 hits the market hoping to accomplish the success it achieved in the first series. So I pre-ordered SH3 and today with it's release I have spent my day playing it and here is my verdict. I've played all the other versions of SH as well. Your journey will take you across the sea to your former home on Greyshore Island and pit you against the evil Brotherhood, who forced you into exile as a child.I'm a huge fan of the original SH1 and Crusader games.
