I got a great idea!

Im in a seige battle, and across the field is another castle. I sallied out to meet the enemy as they retreat near to it. Then it comes to me. It would be awesome if you go do more things in real time battles. Such as two castles firing at each other and continually building. Pumping out whatever you could in real time based on the cities/castles collective stores. This would also make seiging certain buildings a strategy so the enemy could not produce certain things.

Yeah Stronghold was a fun game. I don't remember but I think I rather liked the second one although I have not played any expansions for any of them.

Stronghold Crusader

extreamly good game with everything you said

dont try stronghold 2 is total crap, and as for stronghold legends hvnt try it but if its done with stronghold 2 engine then its legendary crap.

Yeah Stronghold and Stronghold crusader are castle simulators that are just like your idea. You build your castle, the AI or other player in mp build their castle, and you have to besiege it, and defend your castle from their besieging armies. There are moats, and gates with bridges (i don't know what the word to call them is, but its basically a gate that has a bridge so you can cross the moat) also hole with spikes and stuff like that. Sieges are a lot better than in m2 in my opinion, because you can design your castle your own way.

Stronghold 2, i stopped being a huge fan of those games because of it...it had new siege equipment and defensive weapons but i couldn't play it...

Yea I played the first Stronghold. I wasnt interested in the others after it. I definitely prefer Total War to it.

**normanknight** · July 20, 2007, 09:59 AM

play age of empires coz thats exactly what you do. its not a scratch to MIITW though

**King_Sulieman_YHWH** · July 20, 2007, 11:24 AM

Lol. in m2tw castles are a freaking joke, and stone walls? please.

just a ballista can open your wall, and just 2 ladders can enable my crack troops to eat yours and take your walls.

I know if I came upon my enemy building a castle with my forces, my orders would be to erect a rival castle directly across from it, so we could shoot at each other and such in 20 years' time (once the castles were finished), rather than just scattering the workers and claiming the half-built castle myself.

you could just used the triple speed button then it would only take 5 years

On the edge of crossing over the line of being pushed over OFF Topic:

CASTLE WARS: TOTAL WAR

In the next game of the Total War series players in a totally new, totally cue, totally screw, take on Medieval times. All you have is a castle and you need to pump knights and cavalry to successfully destroy your enemy's castles. You will use catapults, knights, and Bunnies* to achieve your aims.

I think the idea would be good for a RTS game but not so much for the Total War series. Maybe something like that could be used in Warhammer.
