The game stronghold was supposed to be?

I know, just what we need, another game... but at least check it out. 

Citadels might be the game that the abomination Stronghold 3 was supposed to be.

Dang it, another one to spend money on with the summer sale? :)

Huh, I wonder. Yeah, I was very disappointed with SH3. I loved the first two, and then I got the third, and stopped playing after the first or second mission. Sad. It completely lacked the fluidity and charm of the other two, and was buggy as hell. Heck, if you placed two buildings with stone construction, and later wanted to connect them with castle wall, you might not be able to just because they're a millimeter too close together. Stupid.

If Citadels is better, I might give it a shot.

That one looks interesting! Similar to Age of Empires, which I loved as a kid.

and when you're taking breaks between Mass Effect sessions you can build a castle in Citadels... see, it all works out perfectly!

Irrelevant! Install games on both. Steam lets you do that. ;)

Wow, he really ripped it apart. And then it crashed on him, almost on cue to end the video. Nice.

I'm glad I didn't buy it. I was tempted to, so I'm glad you posted that! :)
