A new patch has been released for Stronghold 3, which can be automatically updated through the Steam client. The patch basically fixes some of the gameplay bugs such as walls vanishing and troops falling through map holes.

 
The complete changelog includes the following bug fixes:

- Fixed the issue with the campaign not continuing after loading in a save game from the main menu.
- Fixed an issue with sections of wall disappearing when loading in a save game.
- Fixed crash if closing a gatehouse when troops are moving through it.
- Several building footprints have been reduced.
- Buildings can be rotated by using the keyboard. Pressing SHIFT or CONTROL will allow the Q/E keys to rotate the building.
- Troops will no longer fall through the floor when crossing Stone Bridges.(User maps with this issue will need to be re-saved)
- Fixed the Fletcher occasionally making the bows in the stockpile.
- A few other potential crashes have been fixed.

LOL, after reading review I strongly avoid this title at all ) Even patches won't fix this game. )

I agree, Chosen. I really don't see any patch that wil convert the game into a winner. What a shame the series basically died "S:Crusader".Basically it was the last truly innovative game they ever made ("CivCity Rome"....shiver).

I have yet to see this game in action, but I have to agree that the last great Stronghold was Crusader. Stronghold 2, and Legend wasn't good at all, and actually quite disappointing.

They ACTUALLY had things like vanishing walls? A game about sieges?!

Lovely.

The battles were dreadful. Men charging into battle...more like strolling and waving half-heartedly at one another. Dreadful bore.

Falling through map holes. Nice.

They should be hanged, drawn and quartered for what they did to this game. It isn't just the best medieval siege game, really it's the only one.

Well at least neilmike isn't selling shoes on it. Or something. x) A cool looking game site though. Competition...

There are plenty of medieval castle strategy games out there so why be worried about it. They just screwed up one of em. I'm being sarcastic unfortunately :\ There were so many good such games before. What happened. But like way before. 15+ years before.

Name one medieval siege game. Things like total war don't count, they portray sieges about as well as CoD portrays weapon realism.

Yeah I'm kidding. Not many of those...

http://defender-of-the-crown.en.softonic.com/images is this the Robin Hood version? Hmmm. There were some really good and really old medieval strategy classics. Can't recall the names though :(
