Glitches, Bugs and unfriendly interface make this game too hard and no fun.

I actually like hard games, but I like them hard because you have to play well to win. In this case the game is hard because you can't control it well... Selecting a building is hard when zoomed out, and to attack an enemy (such as wolves in the second mission) you have to zoom in completely otherwise the cursor doesn't change from move to attack... then you have to chase the wolf as he leaves the screen because the zoom is too close.
If you decide to restart the game and try again, be ready to do quite a bit of waiting, since speed controls seem to have been forgotten in this game for some reason... reminds me of the original simcity in which I had to build some houses then wait for 2-3 hours watching TV until I had enough money to build more.

The idea of the game is not bad, although I didn't find any novelty compared to previous stronghold games, and even the graphics are not much of an improvement.

Overall, not nearly what I'd expect out of a 50$ game, even if the crappy interface would be fixed I still think the game can not compete with other state of the art releases out there.
