I see a fellow Ion PFP, i give me regards.

Yeah, you are right, the time lag makes it difficult to play and I have to go to work, too. :)
If you ever need a fourth player to do the Multiplayer achievements in Last Will, feel free to contact me.

@Flakstar: Sorry we weren't able to work out a good time to play (as I see you never messaged me back after Wednesday and unfriended). It will have been tough as I see you're located in Germany and I'm in Illinois, USA. You being 7 hours ahead of me, plus with me having a full time job, does make it more difficult to organize a time to get the Last Will achievements.

Ok nice, we only need 2 more players. Lets do it in the near future

@Flakstar - I'd be up for it sometime later on. No exact date when as I work over the weekend. I'll also have to remember to print off all my notes I made (in a .txt file) to massively speed up solving various puzzles. Some like the Bunker, using a method I found out, I can solve it in under 2 minutes.

Hi, would you like to get the last 3 Multiplayer achievements in Last Will? i miss the same 3 achievements like you.

Sorry, but I haven't played Stronghold Kingdoms since June of 2015 (according to Steam's last play date). Not sure how it's chanced since then and I honestly don't care about the game anymore.

I would like to talk with you about Stronghold Kingdoms.

Sorry, but I don't have any HB or Fanatical keys to trade.

Hello, I would like to ask if you trade humble bundle and fanatical cd-keys, even if you do not trade them, I am looking for a few old bundled ones, so you might have a few and I'm ready to offer some games from your wishlist, in case you are interested - accept my friendship, I'm also ready to go first if we find decent trade for both of us, thanks(seen your profile on fanatical group)

Your review of Stronghold Kingdoms... Just opened up my mind.... I left it before because I thought it was like the RTS I expected... But it was just a browser based game... And yes I am playing almost often... But after seeing your review... I think I just realized... I am wasting my time on something..... Thanks again for the review!

Says the guy that shot 2 cvilians in tonight's episode. :P

Hello I wanna be your friend because I'm just joined the Walking Dead fan group and I see your also a fan of The Blacklist and I'm too! I don't have any other friends who watch that show and I wanna play games with you too.

Hey man i seen you witch hunt vid on youtube i added you

Yeah, much of those people are trolls Sheogorath.
I just ignore them so i don't feed the trolls. That's what they want.

Much of them are probably much whining.

Thanks for the review on Stronghold Kingdoms. I played it for an hour or so and thought it was promising. I probably would have wasted a lot of hours.
And ignore the insolent people who criticize you for how many hours you logged. They obviously don't realize how time consuming MMOs are and how you can hate how much time you wasted on them.

At least you don't Stalk from the shadows. :P

Just a facebook stalker. ;)

Now, while i will agree since i did have bad experience across multiple worlds, that may leave me to have a negative biased against the game.
I can however, only review the game on my experience, which was bad.

Had now all the negative things happened to me, I may have had a different mindset about the game, & could maybe recommend it.
But even then, the Inactivity System is just too horrible idea (& a way for the devs to sucker more money out of people).

That, & some of the "Pay to Win" features you get for the Premium Tokes can be just too OP later on in the game.
Like the simple ability to move building in villages, having a building queue or research queue. Things that should in the game to begin with.

(I also replaced all "and" with & just to try to get under the 1000 Char limit above)

Commenting is now done. You can reply now.
And no, sorry I don't have any alternate games in mind.

And yes the game might be more enjoyable without the Pay to Win Features.

1 thing is, Higher Ranked people (again this varies from person to person) might look at new villages as a new spot for new village for them.

Example: Let's say I start the game (granted You get 2 to 3 Day Village Protection from PLAYER Attacks), I work on trying to improve the village.
After the Peace Timer wares off, if somebody higher up see's you're a new person (low rank & only 1 to 3 villages as well as NOT in a guild), they might just either raze or capture your village, just to give themselves another in a separate Parish.

Again, this has happened to me many times.

If you are in the process of losing everything (like if the enemy house is going to capture them all from you, you could abandon always abandon all villages & start somewhere else, but this again would mean you start all over.

That (people could capture/destroy your villages at any time just because they can), & the fact the game has a stupid "Inactivity System" (depending on your rank the game will auto delete EVERY Village you have if you don't log in after ?? days [again, the # depends on your rank]), it's not worth spending all that work when it can be lost very easily.

FYI, even if you get to Max Rank (Prince/Princess or Crown Prince/Crown Princess), the Inactivity is 60 days (at the most).

This didn't happen to me just once, it happened to me on multiple worlds. I didn't even piss people off.
Some just are ♥♥♥♥♥ & attack anybody new, just because they can.

MANY Times, the people that make the decisions are people who have probably played since the beginning of the server (& are VERY High Ranked people with ALOT of Villages) as well as people who have spent ALOT of money in the game (for extra card packs, premium tokens, etc).

(For this example, let's say My House is #16 & the Enemy is House 19.)

My House 16 go start a war with H19 (their guild's villages were usually away from ours) when they greatly outnumbered H19 where they are, but totally screw over other guilds in the house that H19 greatly outnumbers H16, without any warning & don't even bother to help us.

In short, you're forced to make a few decisions if you know they will destroy all your villages (& ALL the work you have done):
- Ask your Guild Leader to leave the House.
- Leave the Guild entirely if they refuse.
- Try to tough it out & probably lose everything (basically strengthen your Village Castles & Defenses & just try to ride it out)

(Due to the 1000 character Comment Limits, I have to post multiple Comments)
The 1 major problem with the game, & this is entirely a "person to person" thing, Location of where you start GREATLY Matters.

Some people could end up around nice people, have a good experience, easier time & also make friends.
As for me, mine is some positive as i did at 1st meet some nice people (joined a guild then a House) but it was negative when complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just attacked us for no reason, or you get stuck in Wars without warning.

Example: The person that's in charge of the House (a House is made up of multiple Guilds) can make the decision to go to war with another house, as well as ally others or just be neutral.

MANY Times, the people that make the decisions are people who have probably played since the beginning of the server (& are VERY High Ranked people with ALOT of Villages) as well as people who have spent ALOT of money in the game (for extra card packs, premium tokens, etc).

Oh, that clarifies a significant amount of the time a bit; that is how I normally idle in a few games as well when I wait for a major session to happen. If that were to be the case, would the game have been more enjoyable if you could not pay your way to steamrolling everyone or were there moderation issues as well?
If that were also to be the case, would you have any other alternative games in mind that would have executed the mechanics of the games properly, or do you simply stay away from any others?

Well, out of the 1814 hours steam says i play Stronghold Kingdoms, that's not entirely accurate.

I would leave the game open many days, do some things, and wait for timers to end, and do more.
Many days i'd just minimize the game and open my browser just to browse, or i'd play another game.

I think i did a few times play some PS2 Games while waiting for the Timers.

I'd have to say probably 1/5th to 2/5th of the time is real, actual me playing.
But even that doesn't invalidate the review, since i spent enough time on the game.

Oh, alright then. I was wondering since I was hoping if you had any other games that you might recommend, given your experience to knowing its flaws.

On Steam, No.

I do play TDNS (Total Domination Nuclear Strategy) on FB every now and then.
But other than that, that's it.

Sounds fantastic for what you gave us! Just wondering, have you played other browser strategy games like Stronghold Kingdoms before or was it your only one?

Your Welcome.

The review went through a few revisions to be just right.

Thank you for the effort you put into writing the Stronghold Kingdoms review!

I'm also an NPC. :D

You're a chill guy. Thanks

It is okay haha thanks (:

resend the request then. I usually ignore ones that don't follow the "Comment why you want to add me on my profile."

I guess i jumped the gun on ignoring.

Hey man, I want to add you to talk about games and maybe even playing with you, thanks (:

Good Job about Stronghold Kingdoms review, thanks
