New Castle of the Month feature

Castle of the Month

We're well aware that Stronghold players love their history and their castles, which is why we have started a new feature called Castle of the Month! At the end of every month we will post a new castle, with facts and figures about its size, history, claim to fame and the Stronghold game in which it features.

This month our pick is Dunnottar Castle in Scotland. Follow the link below for more information and as always feel free to suggest future castles in the comments below.

You should have players submit their castles and do a castle of the month from those. Just an idea.

how about a castle that gives the most amount of points?

That is easy, knowledgeable players know how to do it, but it is completely noneffective as a castle.

That's easy.

I win:

Spoiler! :

Most Points Castle.png

(8070 points)

I have done a similar castle, plainly for points,



or while we are at it,
How about my Moat Tropical Island, ( this was build When Moat was still underpowered, and there was no 500 limit )

Sorry, I should have used context,
If you were in a house that was still in the glory race and you had enemies nearby that saw your castle on the news feed they could make strategies and make an estate of your forces, the player would need to improve it straight away.
I'm not saying you don't change it anyway but if you didn't you could have trouble, do you get my point now?

Agree to this guy, a view of your castle is like a death sentence.

Agree to this guy, a view of your castle is like a death sentence.

If an enemy wants to attack you he can scout your castle with no problems There's no risk at all in the mantioned competition.

Is this still a thing? Because it looked pretty DoA to moi.

I wish this was still a thing.

The amount of different designs for castles in SHK is so limited due to the square grid layout and aren't very appealing aesthetically.

I did a contest for my team for the player in my team that has the best castle and the right research for defense. I did it like the 2nd week of the server to help players be ready for war. One I had them get extra points of they had self Id done.

They took a screenshot of their castle showing what was built and what was building and they sent me the last AI report so I could be sure the castle submitted was the one they sent the screenshot of.

I picked 3 castles one was most interesting which was Angelofpurity he had it shaped like a cat with a fish in its mouth . The fish was done in moat lol

I had so many submit castles QueenTressa was the winner .

It was something fun to do , friendly competition in the team and all having fun doing something together.

I do contest in game for our team all the time. Sometimes it's as simple as who can tell me the best joke. But for real having competitive contests help motivate players and it gets players talking and having fun
