10 days of waiting, 1 day of playing

I take it you are joking FLYINGHIGH?!?

Lords of the Realms3 is probably the worst strategy game released in recent years. It is so bad that the publishers decided that it could not even be sold at normal game price and (in UK at least) it is sold at half the price of other PC games. Unfortunately, I had not read any of the numerous reveiws of the game telling the public just how awful it is, and I was lured by the low price and bought a copy.

I played the game for a few hours laughing at how badly designed and executed it is.
Never played it since - it is a horrible joke of a game.

Knights of Honor is infinately better, even with the problems that need patching. Koh, has introduced or developed many excellent strategy ideas, it looks nice and is presented well.

LOR3 is a much better choice then KoH.
LOR3 was so bad that I give it away for nothing.....

Use pause button for reading descriptions and stuff.

I normally play at the max speed and use pause button every time something is built or I need to take some action. It's not that hard then.

I’ve heard that many people understand my words as if I didn’t like the game. I must stress that’s totally not the case

I feel the same way, I like the game, but there is a whole lot of errors that might needs fixing...

Just returning from another's game forums. We are in heaven here compared to there. They can't seem to even run the game on SP2 and Atari seems to don't give a sh*t about that.

[fluffy_ferret]

it's very simple. the frustration you're venting comes from that the fact that KoH is real-time and not turn-based as it should have been. such games are always better turn-based, and you can be successful with turn-based as total series has shown, so i dont really understand why the devs didnt choose this path.

[vyanvotts]

I think turn based is one of RTW bad points, i think it would be much better if they did it real time like KoH. With turned based a army could be at your towns gates within 1 turn with out you even having the chance to cut it off.

I think the KoH system is great.

Has anyone from Sunflowers/Black Sea Studios commented on this? Sunflowers have a reputation for mismanaging their games once they're out the door, and it seems that they are currently living up to it.

I posted on the Black Sea Studios forum about the inability to switch resolutions (very bad for TFT monitors), and I haven't received a single answer (though a user on this forum tipped me about the hidden ability to force the game into windowed mode).

[Cro_Knight]

to me this is going to be a big patch with some drastic changes if everything that is said is included might change the game completely why not just a name knights of honor the new world lol very very big changes

[eobet]

I saw the patch list and stuff stickied now. I will await the release of that and monitor the forum for new comments before I decide to buy or not.

how i can create avatar__???

[JavalTigar]

the game could have been turn base much like Heroes of Might & Magic. Your army gets movement points based on whats in it. If it has all calvary then it will go farther than all peasants. That way you could still see them coming and have time to intercept.

You just then have to lower all building costs and up the province build to compensate. Plus add a time requirement for making troops. if for example it takes 10 turns to build a stable then it should probably take 3-5 turns to train archers or swordmen. hell just make the turns 1 month a piece. Boot camp only takes 2-3 months now.

william when a buildings finishes it there will be a icon of it on the north east of your screen it will flash when its finished just click on it and u will see the build menu u dont have to search it on the map

Adding the ability to close the Keep Gate or Drawbridge! Whats the point of the keep if its an open door?

Also I didn't know about peasants tearing the door down. I hate that crap! RTW doesn't have that and thats good. Siege weapons are for that and if you dont have them then you don't take the castle! lol

I would like someone to comment from the game designers about this.

1. Keep Door
2. Zoom OUT for battle map. I hate the close in all the time. Sometimes I like a bigger picture.
3. Units not destroy gate (Maybe a toggle)
4. Towers that shoot only when units in them.

Alot of other things are already mentioned and most likely being fixed with easy money etc.

I have a feeling the patch is going to fix alot of things, just not everything. I just hope it fixes the things I want. lol

But I haven't seen ANY post about Zoom Out for battle maps and adding gates,doors,or close drawbridge for keep. Lords 2 had a door that only knights could hack, but Strongold allowed someone to walk right in the keep, which makes the keep useless.

Unless there is a button for that too that is not mentioned like the pause?
