The Castle Doctrine Forums

Hi guys,

You haven't seen me on the forums yet as I haven't been actively posting here at all (I'm not even sure I ever had an account until now). But I've played castle doctrine here and there since v5 and enjoyed it very much (especially that sweet time in the beginning before everyone knew how to build vicious bitlocks and magic dances). I've been following the discussions on this forum at least weekly since I first played the game and I've read pretty much every post any of you posted since then.

Castle doctrine had its ups and many many downs in the last months. At some points in time I sincerely had very little hope left that this game concept could ever really work because of those almost impossibly hard balancing issues all of us know so well. Yet, with some strikingly good new ideas, you developed a new balancing concept that could actually work no matter the size of the player base and still keep the mood of the game intact. I'd like to thank you all before the inevitable flood of people will drown the forum after the game gets released on steam.

Thank you Jason for developing this great game and sticking with your vision even when it looked so hard to ever make it all work as intended. Also there's all of you guys being reliably active on the forums, endlessly pitching ideas with with a very responsive and open minded Jason and actively trying to break the game in many hours of playtime. The game as it stands right now, especially the fact that it finally seems to work so well, is an incredible achievement by this comunity. Some of the most fun I ever had with any game ever was reading all of your posts in this forum.

Thank you
