Especially with the day/night cycle, and level which take place under the rain or in foggy areas, which make it a lot harder to see what's going on when you have soldiers and villagers running all over the place. Here the graphics, 3D and detailed as they may be, look just.dull. Crusader was colorful, and as you built your fortress it seemed to become more and more full of life, and that was quite a feat for a game set in a desert area. The only other Stronghold game I played was Crusader, and it was hard not to run the parallels. The only useful part is when grey dots appear, which lets you spot beasts or bandits when they spawn.unless, of course, they get covered up by even more red dots. I'd like to be able to tell whether those "things" are buildings or troops standing still, thank you. "Things" include walls, buildings and troops. ![]() Every "thing" yours is red, every "thing" enemy is blue (or other colors in certain maps). Besides rotating along with the camera, it is so simplified it gives no useful information at all. The mini map is so useless it might as well not be there.

So.I have seen a lot of mixed and mainly negative reviews, and thus was dubious about the game at best. Or for a closer example, if the quote for Skyrim was about you getting roasted and eaten by a mountain giant. It's like having a sign outside of a bar saying "The barman will smash a bottle on your head and whip you with a pool cue".
