Fun Castle Building game
I really enjoyed this game, it's combines features of city building games (think Caeser III or Pharaoah) with RTS elements, and has some really fun defensive fortress building features that few other games have. Unlike traditional RTSes, there is no skirmish gameplay in single player (There is skirmishes in the follow-up Stronghold Crusader, which I highly recommend, and is actually a refined and vastly improved version of the this game). A little aspect that makes this game really enjoubale to play is how "alive" the towns feel with the animations of your peasants as they go about their work. The main military campaign is really like an extended tutorial. You are basically either defending a position against several waves of timed enemy attacks, OR a few attack missions where you have to siege the enemy fortress and kill their lord. The majority of campaign missions are defensive, and you will be building up your resources, growing your population and recruiting troops. You can build towers, walls, moats, and place your archers along these defensive posts. Your melee troops are more for a last line of defense if your walls get breached. The real fun begins when you get access to pitch, and can set fields of pitch on fire, burning entire squadrons of enemies as they rush towards your walls. The attack missions are some of the toughest in the main campaign,but you only get a fixed number of starting troops and no resources to manage. In additions to the military campaign, there is also a short economic campaign, which is basically timed objectives that have you racing to get resources. there are a few attackers so you can't completely neglect defenses, but the real struggle will be random events, like plagues, crop failures, and fires. This aspect makes the game feel more like a city builder/management. If you like medieval themed games, and a relaxing base building game this is for you. If you want a more RTS style game, get Stronghold Crusader.
