P.S. Are the fansites needed? Seems extraneous.

I think that the fansites are good. I always go on www.stronghold.heavengames.com, and now i can go on others. Im not sure if theres a map editing section to the page, ill see to it. But if not, I'll maybe add something, since I'm a regular map designer on www.stronghold.heavengames.com. If you pass by there, search in the download section for Pat Dark Knight. I made a few skirmish maps for Stronghold Crusaders paat

The talk page is for discussion of this article, not for discussing your personal history with game modification. I agree that the fan sites are extraneous. Fan sites are prone to inaccuracies and unsupported subjective opinion, they are not encyclopedic. Best to stick with official sites, recognized game review sites (like Gamespot or GameSpy) and the publisher site. 12.22.250.4 17:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Stronghold Crusaders?

I agree, the stronghold crusader section isnt very good. There could be more useful information like external links. It doesnt even mention the expansion pack that adds 30 skirmish missions, extra A.I., etc.

[edit] Stronghold Crusaders?

I saw that theres a Stronghold Page ( very complete!) and a Stronghold 2 page. But theres no Stronghold Crusaders. I thought of starting one, but I wasnt sure if I could copy some info from here and put it into Crusaders, since its a whole lotta of the same thing, except the mercenaries and its an arabic theme. Ex.: The Gameplay seems quite similar, with some few additions. but im not sure, since I dont want the readers to read the exact same thing

What to do? paat

[edit] Peasant names

Do you think its necessary to add all the names of the pesants in Stronghold? paat 02:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stronghold 2

if they reviewed it now with the new 1.3.1 patch its score would be a lot higher.

Sign your posts. What does this have to do with the article? 12.22.250.4 17:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Few updates..

Hey guys, I updated the page with a bit of info on the 1.3.1. patch. I'll add information about Crusader momentarily. JS92647

[edit] Article cleanup needed

In reference to the banner regarding the 1st person references throughout the latter half of the article "you", "your", etc: this definitely needs to get cleaned up. In the process, I think that there are a couple of options that could be pursued here:

• The Stronghold series is a basic city building game with combat objectives interwoven throughout:
  • Collect the article information about units, buildings, and characters into a main section called "Thematic Gameplay of the Series." Represent the units, buildings, and characters of all the games in the series (citing the game in which it exists), not just the currently described Stronghold game. This would allow comparisons and contrasts to be made to other units either removed or present, or
  • Do away with all the unit, buildings, and character detail and summarize the strengths of these three classes into a main section, "Series Gameplay Infrastructure."
• Create separate articles for each of the games in the series: Stronghold, Stronghold: Crusader, Stronghold 2, Stronghold: Legends
• Another main section could be added regarding strategies for castle attacks - focusing on the strength of one unit used in conjunction with another unit during an attack, or as in Stronghold 2 the benefit of positioning certain units and moving others all in defense of an attack, etc.
• Another main section could be added describing the map/scenario editors of these games (if Legends has one). Compare and contrast the capabilities of the editors in each game in this single section - or create this section in each of the articles created for each game.
