Stronghold’s Walls: A Feature That Lost Its Purpose

Описание: Stronghold has always been famous for its castle walls, brutal sieges, and defensive gameplay — but over the years something changed.

In this video, I break down how wall mechanics evolved across every Stronghold game, from the legendary block-based defenses of Stronghold 1 and Crusader to the faster, weaker, more fragile walls seen in modern entries like Crusader 2 and Warlords.

We’ll explore why classic Stronghold sieges felt slower, heavier, and more strategic — and why newer games struggle to recreate that feeling.

If you love castle builders, RTS strategy, or classic Stronghold nostalgia, this deep dive is for you.
