Stone Kingdoms RTS

It's a nice game, but unfortunately I've still got a bug (Is this the right place to report this problem?) Unable to load a game :-(

Error

Very nice resource management game. I'd keep playing if I didn't have two regrets: 1) You can't speed up the passage of time. 2) There's no automatic save: the game crashed (not a problem in itself) once after an hour's play :-S.

I LOVE ITTT. Well done and thank you for putting time into this gem i already lost 5h+ to it and ready for more. (Also i can play it on my potato linux laptop which is legendary)

I've been running into an issue with my peoples happiness dropping from rations, even though I have plenty of food and double rations going on, it keeps resetting the value to -8. Switching between options fixes it for about one or two ticks then it resets back to -8. Is this a bug or am I just stupid?

Hi, as reported by others, the second mission is broken, on 0.6.1 Blacksmith produces only sword. Is there a way to mark the mission as completed, to be able to play the next level as a workaround for the bug?

Hello,

after I have completed the last mission "Faith in Architecture" and im back into to menu - I would like to notice my success history. 

Maybe you could add a visual small medal symbol or badge or kind of icon to the accomplished Mission(or Campaigns).

We need more missions. It's really fun.

Have a beautiful day.

Hi there, fist of all thank you for the great work you are doing! I really love Stronghold and just discovered your project. Its amazing. I really like the idea of building an improved version of Stronghold in with an Open Source license.

What I generally don’t like about software development is that people only talk about the things which do not work. However that’s the only way to improve the (already great) version of the game. So here we go:

Red Numbers
When I have 11/12 peasant the number shows green when I have 12/12 the number is red -> I don’t like that. It would be green unless I have not enough peasant to occupy my buildings the numbers should show green.

Trees not growing
A mechanic to let trees grow seems not to be implemented yet.

Depth of field
I really hate the DOF blur when you zoom in. I would either completely remove it or make an option for it in the menu.

Mission two is broke
As someone already stated it is currently not possible to build maces. Whatever you klick only swords will be produced.

Armory bug
In mission two I had two armories. For mor space I build three additional once in a row (5 in row) and demolished the one in the middle. My workers will run through the added two armories until some weapons are stored in them.

In general, I think it is complaining on a high level and probably you are already aware of most of the issues. However I wanted to give you a short feedback and express my appreciation for your work.

hi guys, can i ask for some help, im trying to run this on my laptop, (acer travelmate runnig windows 10 , i5 processor, 8Gb ram) but ti keep getting screen flicker, i ran it in compatibility mode for win 8 and it was ok, today ive restarted and it is flicketring again, ive tried changing tdisplay settings from 1920x1080, to a lower res, but no joy .. 

has anyone got any good advice.

Hey guys,

I had a little time, so I translated the source language to Hungarian.

How can I import/use it in the game under Windows, to test its ingame appearance?

I'm not sure about some things/words.

They are correct, but that's possible, I need to modify some of them a little bit, according to the environment.
Thanks a lot! :)

The 0.6 Update is brilliant! I love the new ideas like upgrading the keep. But i encountered a few bugs. 

- sometimes the peasants are not respawning and so you are stuck with 7 or whatever you have at the moment

- giving the people money to increase their happiness also increases my gold, so... yeah :D

Hello guys,

I ran into this error:

I am from the BFME2.22 Mod Team and we have an own BFMELauncherSetup.exe really handy.

I would also really appreciate a kind of a small gamelauncher or an auto updater within a game launcher to always be on the latest version. 

( for beeing up to date & for the possibility to instant report errors & crashes to you )

Like this blue screen crash when saving the game:

Have a beautiful day!

Is there a 32 bit version for Windows or Linux of this game?

just leaving it here (PS.: i am loving the game!)

Error

Is there a Patreon or something similar to support you voluntarily?

Great work.

As long as there are no competitors it's ok, but I think the raw materials you get aren't enough. For example, from the lumberjacks,

Love the game so far, figured I would mention some things i've noticed (0.5.0):

After demolishing a stone quary you cannot rebuild another on any of the tiles from the previous stone quary. Also stone quarry workers seem to often get stuck on the town hall entrance.

Popularity works strangely currently. Instead of the sum of positive and negative effects being added to the current popularity every x ticks, it seems that the popularity is simply set to 50 + the sum of positive and negative effects, making it impossible to reach 100 popularity (perhaps this is the intention and a departure from how the original system works?).

I don't know if this is intentional but trees stop swaying once you zoom out far enough which might be a bit jarring on larger screens. Personally I would like to be able to zoom out fully and still feel like the world I'm looking at is alive and not frozen.

I've been watching some videos on world generation in games like minecraft using perlin noise, I wonder if perlin noise could also be used to set the initial frame of the tree swaying animation, which could give a more realistic immitation of wind moving through forests.

Looking forward to the next release!

Really nice so far but some glaring bugs after you play for a little, I suspect they'll soon be fixed though but I'll mention them here just in case:

Sometimes people get stuck at the edges of buildings when they are close to the "entry" point e.g. the granary and the armoury in my case. Rebuilding fixed the problem as long as the worker was then reassigned to something else.

The weapons buildings... I twice had this happen with each of the fletcher, the polearm maker and the armourer; the worker, I discovered after I demolished the building, was stuck in the building itself, possibly trying to reach the centre but not quite getting there? They succeeded without issue unless a building was placed below and to the right of theirs, this time with one space between buildings... buildings newly placed in a bad position would work the first time but then the worker would get stuck after delivering the first item and going back to make the second.

I don't know if it happens with building spaced further apart but if I want to fit all my important, expensive weaponsmiths in my castle space is not going to happen and there should be more warning of this issue at least... personally I don't think it should be an issue at all but I'm guessing it is something to do with geometry? I also discovered that bakeries and windmill can't have their front-left side blocked by another building or else they don't work as workers enter (and queue in the case of the windmill) on that side...

Just my tu'penny worth :)

Keep up the good work :D

This just looks like the same old stronghold game. What makes this different?

I really like the 0.5, but sadly it crashes very often and the savegame is broken after the crash.

Sometimes you cant build and it just crashes. I hope it will be better in the future cause i really like it.

Good Job.

First of all, congratulations on the development! I'm a huge fan of the original game! I bought it. :D

But I would be very happy if there was a free version of it!
Especially if it will later include the possibility of local network play!

I'm waiting for the next version!
