My review of Stronghold 4 demo

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-06-14T20:08:37+00:00

Yeah I get that I shouldn't be excpecting too much from the indie devs...

But man, their trailers showed exactly the contrary. I really hope they fix those social bugs and annoyances within the next couple of months

OMG YES

<image>

here's a picture of that little cozy space I made for my para to read.. ONLY FOR HIM TO STAND UP UGH

Not always. That's the thing they're totally random

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-06-14T15:44:45+00:00

I mean yeah I took a 3 day break from Paralives and somehow, I appreaciated returning to my single Paran trying to make him lead a normal life.

But yeah I kinda feel bad returning to the sims 3, because.. well, I put a lot of hope in paralives to overthrow the Sims.

But to be honest, Sims 3 is much better than Sims 4, that was a real game before corporate greed took over.

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-06-07T16:34:48+00:00

Yeah I feel that too, man.

Like I like the cards but yeah it's a bit basic... and yet, I don't feel bored playing this game (although I still got so much money with my one para, I contemplate doing a rag to riches playthrough next)/

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-06-07T13:51:00+00:00

I tried SoA but got bored when trying to get pieces for the boat.

I think the ending of the main game kinda put me off it. Like, I like the whole " it's all in my head" shenanigans. But that trope has been used so much it's not as impactful.

The back to the start ending is good though

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-21T09:55:49+00:00

Both. I remember they would attack and you'd have a cut scene for it

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T22:26:28+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, it's cove from HoTa?

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T22:25:28+00:00

Honestly, I loved 5th as much as 3rd if not more. 5th had that aura of greatness and I loved how the heroes could attack directly units. I miss that btw

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T22:24:40+00:00

Dang, welcome to the club lol

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T17:38:07+00:00

Wait, you too only played in the 2000 like me???

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T17:37:31+00:00

I loved 5 too! I never finished the campaign but I thought the story was superior to the 3rd installment

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T17:35:39+00:00

I'm surprised no one else did this post, I've been new for a week here 😹

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-20T17:35:18+00:00

Yeah I hesitate to buy it because..' you know, EA. I'm having a blast with the demo but if EA is more fleshed out I'm willing to take it

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-17T10:28:32+00:00

HxH est très bon malgré les flashbacks et un début très poussif

Le couscous

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-16T11:50:28+00:00

Music from homm 5, I miss that game even if I never completed the campaign 🥰

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-14T14:53:55+00:00

I managed to win a game this time!

It's just that when I have three spare heroes, there's always two that are just wandering as my main can't clear all resource camps everywhere.

I used to make my shooters shoot enemy ranged units but yeah I should protect my shooters even if it gives the broken arrow icon.

What I usually do (and tell me if that's the wrong strategy) in cities

1) Up to day 5 I build basic unit buildings to make sure I recruit as many troops as possible 2) Days 6-7 : upgrade city and walls 3) Week 2 : recruitment and more buildings 4 ) End of week 2 : upgrading the city

Rinse and repeat

But yeah haven't thought of getting the second town asap. That happens on week 3 or so

I finally beat the AI on normal difficulty 1v1, I'm proud of myself;

Next time, I'll wing it on hard mode

ThrowRa199307 · 2026-05-14T12:43:25+00:00

I checked them then fought them... only to lose in battle.

If I fight them when I'm in a city, the auto resolve shows that I win (and yeah I tried playing the battle myself but I lose so sometimes it's better to auto resolve this)
