First off, this isn't a RTS game, its a blend, from a civ sim to rts and it's done perfectly,(those who played previous strongholds know this), and as such the missions 'timeline' isnt of those of a rts game (i.e. fast paced), its just as any of previous strongholds, seriously, GS reviewers, do you call Settlers slow-paced? no cuz its a sim, well this is it... but way much better.

So far I have done the economic campaign and working on the military campaign, different maps translates into different ways of getting resources (i.e. distances to wood, stone, iron etc..) this forces you to innovate to achieve each mission goals in whole different ways, and this is how developers meant to when they designed it..in other words. no mission is repetitive at all (like GS reviewer claims it is)

I don't know whats with others posting about bugs, I finished the economic campaign and did not face any glitch.. not crashes nor game-stuck missions, as some claim... I'm not saying its bug-free, but with my machine it runs fine.

(aside from the wolves climbing ladders of course :P)

I did not patch the game either

Only issue I think is somewhat annoying is when you try to select or target units/structures for attack, your camera has to be centered on the screen otherwise its hard to pick/target them up. but once you get the hang of it, its fine.


So, overall, it needs some minor things addressed, it is still a great enjoyable game
