It's ok for me, well, to many orcs at mid tier (warrior, shaman, chief? wtf? why not ogres and trolls?)


exactly as i wus thinking.. ther is not enough variety as can be said of an entire "barbaric" group and faction, as we saw in Heroes 3.. thats pretty disappointing

i don't know what reason i would have not to be happy. I mean come on alternatives for every unit, item sets, a new faction? what's the bad news? i dont see them.
of course not all of the alternatives a ballanced and some are owerpowered while others are underpowered or useless... but that all can be fixed in time so just be happy that we get something! And it will be nice~

I really like Stronghold so far, the goblins are just so funny . Every body in the town seems to hate them too. Shamans sacrifice them, cyclops eat or throw them.

The worst way to revive this thread but we could open the discussion again?

satisfaction about Stronghold - Long time after game release

Yes - This faction has reopened a new idea for the heroes univers by addin new features, a new view on stronghold and a great storyline to the game

The tactics by choosing different creatures and a great skillwheel has made this faction one of my favourits factions. The creature choices are very good, they add something different to the game and make the game really tactical by playing this faction, even the goblins upgrades adds tactic at a high level!

The skillwheel added a new type of skills: shatter magic, as we all know and that gave this factions its own special touch. Great variation in the different skills.

The game style of this faction was different aswell - You were more or less forced to be offensive! doing so gaining benefits and by not getting a disadvantage! - This also made this faction so new and more enjoyable compared to other factions - atleast for me.

Conclusion: Yes I am very happy with stronghold! I love everything about it!

I agree with emilsn.  Stronghold is very versitile and not overly complicated to play.  Which I like about it.

Though I think the Defense skill can be very useful also with them .  (Taking less damage means loosing less Rage).  It would not be in my top 5..but it can have benifits.

Also the creatures can be interesting also.   H5 is quickly becoming my favorite even over h3.

yes i´ll try but cyclops will make stronghold faction even more weaker by killing their own creatures(untamed) and other cyclops are just weak

I love H5 Stronghold, much better then the ugly H3 Stronghold.
But of course there are stuff i miss from H3 Stronghold too.
And i think it was great that the Orcs became brown and cool instead of green, unorginal and ugly like all other fantasy games.
But i didnt like how there story was ripped of Warcrarft (again) with demon blood etc...

Goblins
I just love them. They bring humor to Stronghold and look like on of old my classmates. I like these more then the ugly unorginal green goblins.

Centaur
Not as ugly and weird as H4 Centaurs. I think Centaurs fit more with Sylvan. They are very cool and good in Stronghold too.
But i think it would be better if they had Trolls there.
I liked Wolf Riders more because they are awesome.

Orc Warrior
I dont like it. Red Non-Warcraft orcs are ugly and not cool. They look completly retarded. Werewolfs would be much cooler!
They were about the same level as the H3 Orcs.

Shaman
I love them but the un-upgraded version is much cooler and hotter then the upgraded. And i think it would make more sense to replace them with Chieftans since magic is rare in Stronghold.
But they are much better then Ogres who are ugly.

Cheiftans
I love them, they are so cool! But the red version is again ugly. If they renamed them Ogres i would be much happier but kept there brown beutiful colors. However i thougt that the Roc was awesome and would be much better then these. Thunderbirds were the most beutiful creatures ever. Bring them back in avian town please!

Wyvern
I think these are cool, but not the green one. The green one just looks foul and ugly. Pao-kais are awesome and Blizzard is ripping them off in WotLK expansion. They are on the same level as old Cyclops. The Cyclop Kings were awesome but so is the Pao-kai.


Cyclop

Finally Cyclops. Huge but ugly but i still love them in combat. However the upgraded one with a necklace is so ugly and they look mindless when they were intellignet blacksmiths in Greek mythology.
These are very cool but very ugly.
I like the H3 Behemoths just as much. In H4 the Behemoths looked like monkeys. Also i liked the H3 death animation, when they transformed into brown sugar when they died.

Summary: H3 Stronghold was just as good as H5 Stronghold if you look at the creatures. But in all other levels the H5 Stronghold is better. H4 Stronghold sucked - but everything there sucked...'

Unorginal? The green goblins(and orcs)have been there since HoMM 1!(expect HoMM 4) Okay, so have warcraft green orcs, but does they have green goblins. i would say they where anything but orignal.

are the orcs meant to be beauty and good-looking?
No, i'm pretty sure they aren't meant to be that. But as you say, if the warcraft orcs have been red, they would have been cool then?
that is just the same as saying everything uncool would have been cool if they was in Warcraft.

Summary:H4 Stronghold sucked - but everything there sucked...'

HoMM 4 don't sucks. It was different, yes, but that don't means it sucks.

tactically it looks like a good faction, and there is a good synergy between the creatures. but when I played them in a game vs IA (normal difficulty) I felt it was too easy (I mean, normal difficulty is easy, but this time it was even easier)

it's indeed a funny faction to play with, but Hp are so little and this can discourage players who dislike to have big casualties.
