Stronghold 3
Sir William:
No pop limit? Color me interested then...that was my only dislike of AoE...the pop limit. I wanted to field 100 knights on horseback but in order to do that, well you know...it would've sucked having to cut back on everything else just for that.
Pikemen, archers and arbalesters were the bane of the mounted knight in that game.
SirNathanQ:
The amount of Troops is only dictated by the 20 unit max for an army (a unit can range from 30-75 men)
You can have multiple armies fighting in one battle, so it's not uncommon to have literally thousands of soldiers in a single engagement.
In the Total War games, the bane of the knight is spear and pikemen, and crossbowmen. Their armour is often too good for most missiles to kill them outright. Spearmen absolutely shred cavalry though.
In the Total war games, knights are not to be hastily wasted in a protracted melee. Used correctly, the charge is devastating. That's what they are best used for.
But mapwise there is literaly no population limit of any sort. (but beware, armies require monetary upkeep!)
Sir Jason Simonds:
I've played stronghold 1 & 2, and currently playing stronghold kingdoms. 3 looks to be promising may have to look into it.
Sir Edward:
I enjoyed Stronghold Kingdoms, but I stopped playing when the beta ended because it just required way too much micro-management. I'd have to log in for 30 or more minutes, several times a day, to make sure I didn't lose any resources and to keep construction and trade flowing. It was too demanding on my schedule.
Lord of Ultima is a similar online town-building persistent-world, but it's easier to mitigate micromanagement, and manage time. I can queue up a bunch of stuff and not log in for 24 hours if I want.
Sir Jason Simonds:
Yeah I agree that kingdoms is alot more time consuming, apparently kingdoms is totally free now.
