Skirmish Opponents Brainstorming

Greeting fair lords and ladies,

upcoming SH4 is going to feature a skirmish mode vs AI opponents. According to Firefly the game will launch with eight such opponents. I thought it’d be fun to share ideas, dreams or concepts on how these opponents could behave.

My hope is that the opponents will behave more like SH2 lords. Since SH4 will feature ranks again, it’d be great if the AI opponents‘ castles and economy reflected their rise up the ranks. In SH2 even weaker opponents such as Edwin, Lady Seren or Sir Grey used all kinds of buildings/towers which were unlocked at higher ranks. Another hope of mine is that for the first time the AI will be able to use the stables properly and mount knights on horses.

What’re your hopes, thoughts or expectations for the skirmish AI.

Well, most likely the AI players will follow suit. If the AI from Warlords is gonna be ported/reimplemented in SH4, there will be a lot of fun to be had for sure!

In general, I expect them to work much like their recent incarnations. I really wish we were able to communicate with them again - the sound files are there for this purpose -, depending on a "mood" variable that makes the AI more or less inclined to obey our commands.

I also hope that the unit and siege AI will be a lot more intelligent, already evidenced by the fact that the military mission invasions' catapults will take time to attack targets on the ground.

      Oi, Good Folk! 🙂  It's with pleasure that I can announce the arrival of new maps to our humble repository, from the pen of @ Lord Farckuath , to whom hereby we are thankful! His pack consists of three skirmish maps for Stronghold Legends over the last month, summoning familiar locations with a touch of atmospheric landscape design. These maps are mainly aimed for less serious multiplayer matches, where human players can fight for control from their safe main areas, or roleplay their st

    • Possible Remnants of a Cancelled Skirmish Mode in Sh3

      Greetings, Lords and Ladies! Stronghold 3 is certainly a controversial entry in the series. From its troubled launch to bugs to broken features, the game struggled to make a name for itself. One of the standout odd decisions made by Firefly was the exclusion of a skirmish mode. This made Stronghold 3 the first game since Crusader to lack this feature. An official statement by Firefly even says:  Recently, I replayed the game and got a bit frustrated by the fact that the lord has weir

    • Stronghold Legends Custom Skirmish Invasions on Last Mission Not Starting.

      I have been working on a map for the past 2-3 days now. It is a 3 part map. Parts 1 and 2 work perfectly fine but the third part you are to face down the final invasions. The invasions show up but unfortunately they don't attack no matter what. They are just standing where I set them but they don't start their siege. Even though they have their siege equipment and everything set up. I tried playing a bit with the delay/date and I assume delay (from what I have read) means that they will wai

      Hello All! It is my to delight to announce that the Legends AI opponents got a series of informative articles.

      Stronghold Legends has an exclusive bonus trail (Arthur's Challenge) that was originally only released with the Gold disk version of the game. This means that without this version, you had no way of being able to collect all the awards or completely finish the game. However, Firefly have since released the 4th exclusive bonus trail as an addon application, which I have sourced and uploaded to our downloads section, available here. You only need to use this application if you are still using
