Hello and welcome to another Firefly Studios video. Today we're going to be
sending out a love letter to Stronghold fans and castle builders everywhere
by running through our top Stronghold secrets and easter eggs.
From film references to spooky ghosts, we'll be taking you through all the secrets
hidden away in the dark recesses at the stronghold game code but don't worry
we're not going to be revealing all of them today. So if you want to be a famous
internet celebrity who's found every Stronghold Easter Egg, now's your time, let's get to the list.
1. Haunted
First up we've got something that'll send shivers down your spine
In the old but gold first installment in the series Stronghold 1
try placing a shrine or two down and prepare yourselves.
Do you see him?
There he is, your very own castle ghost. but don't worry no ghost busting needed as
the ghost will just chill out, wish he could savour the taste of apples from your granary,
and generally have a decent time doing what any ghosts would do, spooking about and scaring folks.
2. Shortcut to siege
Ever wondered what Stronghold Legends would look like in third person?
Well, put that log into other uses because with a few taps of the keyboard you can do this right now.
Sorry, we forgot to actually tell you how to do this.
Press QWER while selecting a single unit to enter Third Person.
Back to the video!
Just look at the action, the intensity. Oh boy, this fight isn't fair.
This green dude isn't gonna survi- oh yeah, he's dead.
Huh, this is actually kind of relax-
Sweet Jesus look at that dragon!
Seeing it up close, I kind of feel bad for sending my troops into these battles.
Yeah this guy's got the right idea: Walk away from the battle.
3. A special greeting
Next up we've got a little treat that might be known to those who tried
entering something fantastical as their Lord name.
Perhaps the name of a well-known Sith Lord?
"Greetings, Lord Vader. Obi-wan has taught you well, but you are not a Jedi yet."
But Lord Vader is just one of the edgy
phrases and short hands that our dear narrator treats us with.
Let's have a listen.
"Greetings, flying poooooo!"
"Not long till morning now, Sire. You're going to need your beauty sleep."
"Please eat, my liege. I fear you are wasting away."
You can't tell me what to do, you're not even my real dad!
4. Fetchez La Vache
Now for a slightly more obscure reference for some of our international
players, ever heard of Monty Python? If not, here's a little taste.
"This is your last chance. I've be more than reasonable."
- "Fetchez la vache." - "Quoi?" - "Fetchez la vache."
For those of you with a good ear for insulting French accents,
that's legendary actor John Cleese saying "fetchez la vache."
The same phrase used for one of our Crusader 2 achievements
in which you kill an enemy Lord with a disease cow.
"Fetchez la vache."
"Quoi? Fetchez la vache?"
"Jesus Christ!"
"Crikey!"
5. Trumped in space
On to our beloved intergalactic world of science-fiction, Space Colony gets a tad
political with a theme mission based on the whole Trump versus Forbes debacle.
In case you've forgotten, back in the late 2000s, now President Donald Trump wanted
to build a massive golf complex in Aberdeenshire. One Scottish farmer
Michael Forbes, refused to sell his land to Trump so you could build over it and
now Forbes is regarded as a local hero. So logically, you introduce lasers, aliens,
and space stations into the mix, and you've got our easter egg.
6. Sir William, Heroin Addict.
For all you film fanatics out there, recognize this clip?
No?
Shame on you.
Well, here it is anyway, in a certain British cult hit.
Who doesn't know a bit of Ewan McGregor?
Well, apart from that one trilogy he did.
"My allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!"
7. The three commandments
Are you a Stronghold player with an eagle eye?
Then you might have come across a certain phrase to live by in our games.
Here's a clip highlighting our holy scripture.
In the beginning, God created beer. Then women. And cake.
Nice.
So those were our favorite Stronghold and Space Colony Easter Eggs

put it in the comments below and we might include it in a future video.
