If any of you are PC gamers (probably most if not all of you), I would like to just talk about this game and ask if any of you have played Stronghold 2. If so, how is it?

I have heard various things about the game and I'm wondering if it's worth picking up. Good games from the UK rarely reach the US in my opinion (I wasn't trying to make that sound like a bad thing to say, sorry), with the exception of Stronghold & Stronghold Crusader, both of which I play and own by the way. ;-) I loved those games and with this sparkly new PC I thought I'd get Stronghold 2 with some money I got for Christmas. I've heard Stronghold 2 is a good game and wildly popular over in Europe and the UK, especially Germany, which I also love. ^_^ Ich habe Deutschland gern! Anyway, I've also heard that there were a few bugs, most of which can be fixed by downloading a patch from www.fireflyworlds.com. I hope it's good, because I cleared 95% of the space on my D drive and moved Diablo II: Lord of Destruction to C! I did this as a precaution, because even the 2D Stronghold Crusader lagged slightly on my old computer when vast numbers of units swarmed you, which happens DAILY on that game, and S2 is in 3D... I heard you can customize your own coat-of-arms and the little emblem appears on flags in your castle, and on your swordsmen's shields, among other places, which I thought would be really cool. This brings me to my next question: If you ruled a castle and had to design a logo what would your coat-of-arms look like? Ah, yes, I do tend to drag on when I'm talking about video games but who can blame me? I'm young and I have no life! Anyway, I'd love to hear what some of you think about Stronghold 2 and if any of you have played it. GAH! I have been attacked by halberdiers and trebuchets??? I must tend to my defenses! Archers, ready your bows!
