This game would later turn out to be Stronghold 3. The game was further teased in 2009 when Firefly stated in their newsletter that they had “something very big in the pipeline” which would be revealed in 2010. In 2009 when asked if they had any other unannounced games in development other than Dungeon Hero and Stronghold Kingdoms, the answer was that they still had one more game in development. However, in 2010 the status of Dungeon Hero was uncertain after being delayed numerous times. Developmentįirefly Studios had previously claimed in 2008 that they would be working on Stronghold 3 due to the high demand by fans, but only after the completion of Dungeon Hero.

Features added to the game since release include new units, difficulty levels, King of the Hill and Capture the Flag multiplayer modes, new multiplayer maps, new multiplayer Lords, new historical sieges, new Free Build maps, a “Free Build Panel” that allows players to trigger invasions, the ability to change the game speed and extra large maps. In a post on their website Firefly announced plans to add in “features that didn’t make it into the original release” as well as “new content and new features that we or you have thought of since release”.
The game currently lacks a Kingmaker or skirmish mode, as available in previous Stronghold titles. A Facebook competition was run to let fans vote on the final animal ammunition type, with a sack of diseased badgers eventually making the cut.
The option for players to launch diseased cows from trebuchets has returned, in addition to smaller animals like pigs and sheep. They can also illuminate specific areas by setting fire to watch towers. However, players are able to use torch-holding peasants and other fire-based devices to explore the map at night. Ī new fog-of-war mechanic was introduced for night-time game play, during which all areas outside of the immediate vicinity of the player’s castle are hidden in darkness. Castle construction is no longer confined to a grid-based system. īuildings in Stronghold 3 are more dynamic than before, with the housing capacity and appearance of hovels changing the further they are built from the player’s keep. In addition the game engine features a new weather system and advanced lighting. The game engine utilises Havok physics, which influences the effectiveness of burning log traps and causes buildings and castle walls to crumble realistically. Players are also able to ‘change history’ by choosing whether to attack or defend a number of historical castles in the game’s castle siege mode.

Both campaigns are fully narrated, telling their stories with a series of black and white graphical novel interludes. A story-driven military campaign that chronicles The Wolf’s return through a series of traditional real-time strategy missions and a sim-based economic campaign which has the player focus almost entirely on village productivity and resource management. Players are able to choose between two single-player campaigns. The Boy helps rebuild the Abbey destroyed during the war.(The boy does not help rebuild the abbey if he dies at the end of the military campaign, killed by The Wolf.) Features In the Economic Campaign, which takes place after the end of the military campaign. By raiding towns and villages in the dead of night The Wolf has created a tide of panic, with The Boy and his allies the only force to stand against him. The Wolf, it seems, has cheated death and become bitter, twisted and psychotic during his painful recovery in the east. Set 10 years later, Stronghold 3 follows the continuing story of The Boy.
Eventually The Boy confronted The Wolf in his tower, after an intense battle he impaled the enigmatic Wolf on his sword and threw him to what he thought was his death. It was here that he found a small band of troops still loyal to the King and, with the help of Lord Woolsack and Sir Longarm, began to take back the country county by county. After the capture of the King abroad, enemy invasion, civil war and his father’s ambush en route to negotiate a treaty with The Snake, The Boy was pushed back to a forest on an overlooked peninsula. The original Stronghold told the story of The Boy and his quest for revenge against Duc de Puce (The Rat), Duc Beauregard (The Snake), Duc de Truffe (The Pig) and Duc Volpe (The Wolf) for the ambush and murder of his father. Unlike previous games in the series which were published by Take-Two Interactive, the game has been published by SouthPeak Games, the new parent company of Gamecock Media Group, publisher of Stronghold Crusader Extreme. It is the sequel to Stronghold, released in 2001, and Stronghold 2 released in 2005. The game is the seventh in the series after several spin-offs, including a remake, Stronghold: Crusader Extreme, and Stronghold Kingdoms. Stronghold 3 is a 2011 real time strategy video game for Microsoft Windows developed by Firefly Studios and published by 7Sixty.
