The Stronghold news is twofold:
1) You can vote for the type of dead animal ammo for trebuchets to be featured in in Stronghold 3 just here. The choice is between a senile donkey, a cage of rabid otters, a retired dancing bear, or a sack of diseased badgers. Internet: you decide!
2) The Stronghold Kingdoms MMO is now in beta. You can play it if you wish.
Stronghold! I might change my name to Stronghold. “Stronghold Rossignol” has a certain ring to it. That is not news. I am just being flippant.

Rossignol already hace a nice ring to it, reminds me of a flamboyant swashbuckler, ready to conquer the hearts of damsels in distress by swashbuckling his way through hordes of enemy swordsmen, with his trusty saber and a dirty limerick on his lips.

“So it is you again, Rossignol,” the Cardinal said, twirling his thin moustache with gloved fingers “you will never find the Spaniards gold, en garde!”

Call me a traditionalist, but I’m fond of good ol’ Jom Rissignol.

Couldn’t you be Jim “Stronghold” Rossignol, the Master Rook, the Brickiron Bastard?

The only good animal ammo is a dead animal ammo.
08/11/2010 at 15:08 the wiseass says:
Monty Python thought us that the only good animal ammo is a cow.
08/11/2010 at 15:10 Altemore says:
I disagree. I mean, what is better, a dead dancing bear which may, if you’re lucky, crush someone? Or a live bear on PCP which will land, hopefully on a person, then go on a drug-fuelled rampage of utter destruction?
I think the choice is clear.
08/11/2010 at 15:18 Jonathan says:
Good luck getting your PCP-bejobbered bear to sit on the catapult.
08/11/2010 at 15:38 Altemore says:
What if we, uh, put it into a round cage or something? Damn, you’ve got me beat. I thought I was the new oppenheimer for a moment there…

We need the right to arm (our catapults with) bears.
08/11/2010 at 17:21 DrGonzo says:
You put the bear on the catapult and then give it the PCP obv.
10/11/2010 at 03:12 Jambe says:
Clive, that was funny.
That is all.
Well, wait. Yay for two kindsa Stronghold.
Finished.

What? No Cows? I’m outraged.
08/11/2010 at 15:12 Pijama says:
Cows, definitely.
YOU PEOPLE GOTTA KNOW WHAT GIVES MOAR FUN
08/11/2010 at 15:13 noobnob says:
How about using the corpses of your fallen enemies as dead ammo instead?
08/11/2010 at 15:14 Toby says:
Hnnnng, I want Stronghold 3. Been playing the alpha of Kingdoms for a few months too.
08/11/2010 at 15:22 jti says:
They totally missed the Monty Python moment there. I has a sad.
08/11/2010 at 15:26 mandrill says:
How about wooden rabbits?
08/11/2010 at 15:36 Junior says:
Oh god, how do they expect me to make that kind of choice?
I might have to see if I can vote once for each and see if they put them all in…
08/11/2010 at 15:36 frags says:
You have to pay money to have a freakin’ build queue ie to be able to build more than one structure.
08/11/2010 at 16:16 D says:
I agree with the above statement, but will add explanation: Stronghold kingdoms is not really worth your time, unless you’re a big fan of the Travian style webbrowser games.
08/11/2010 at 16:40 A-Scale says:
Stronghold Kingdoms != Stronghold 3, for the record.
08/11/2010 at 18:28 Maykael says:
I stop playing during the tutorial because of this dick-move… Hell to monetize an online experience…
Excited about Stronghold 3 though.

now -if it were a sack of diseased and ANGRY HONEY BADGERS, then methinks there’d be no competition

My respect for honey badgers and their iron will is huge. Those guys are insane.

Thank GOD They are going back to the old art style. It looks beautiful! I love Firefly!

“…his name?”
“They call him… Stronghold Rossignol”
*The room fills with frightened whispers.*

No small yapping dog option? Small yapping dogs should only ever be used as ammunition!
08/11/2010 at 22:13 Neil says:
The writing is awful. Commas and apostrophes are thrown in haphazardly but are mostly omitted where they should be used. Sentence structure is laughable, and even spelling is poor (“dependant”).
This level of illiteracy is a big turn-off. Seriously, can no one in the office write above a 5th grade level?
Game seems to be standard Travian-style with nicer graphics and a castle-building element.
