Has anyone had a chance to play Stronghold 3 since it's been released or either started to get patched? I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this game to see If it's worth buying now or If I should wait to buy it later.

I have both 1 & 2, but will wait until the price drops to get three. So I'm probably not much help. There's a site for it http://www.stronghold3.com/ if you haven't been there already.

I'd honestly say to wait until it drops in price.  The total lack of a skirmish mode with AI makes the game not anywhere near worth the price tag they're asking right now.

I played it for a bit, it's a hot unmitagated mess right now...it needs a series of patches (it's been patched a few times)...will I play it again?  Yeah, probably, but not for a while and CBs point about no skirmish mode is spot on...they promised it, they lied.  Stick w/ SH Crusader for now, a ton more fun!

pat!

I haven't played it yet, but there's a mode similar to skirmish that's been recently added:

“we have listened to what the fans have been saying, so beefed up the Free Build mode to give players lots more flexibility and the ability to have increasingly powerful invasions attack their castle.”

Of course skirmish should have been in to begin with.

I tried it very briefly when it was released, of course I couldn't keep myself from sending the kings forces at my castle which immediately slaughtered me.  I haven't touched the game since.
