Stronghold 3 – New Screenshots, Updated Graphics

I’m personally really excited about the E3 announcement of Stronghold 3, which I somehow missed? Their improving what was great about Stronghold 1, cutting all the crap bits from Stronghold 2, and working with a new full 3D game engine (as we’d expect for 2010…).

The game looks to include loads of new features like  weather and light systems, allowing you to fight in the dark and a more sophisticated castle building system, making you think more carefully how far away you place those Hovels from your keep, because the further away the are, the less people they can house! Its little details like this which make the release of Stronghold 3 quite a promising one.

Take a look at the first screens of the game below:
