A great and unique realtime-strategygame
It is a very rewarding and challenging experience with a story that get's the job done. I originally compared it a lot to Age of Empires 1 & 2 but that's pretty wrong to do. You might wonder, what is the cake with Stronghold? What's so fun about it? Challenge, Reward and Victory! This game can spell those words so clear you'll whisper them like a mantra. A game of stronghold starts with you placing your primary fortress somewhere on the gamemap, as well as a granary and a stockpile. The granary and the stockpile are the core elements to strongholds gameplay. You'll play as the Lord of the castle and have direct control over everything, except the people. In stronghold, unlike Age of empires you don't have to have a builder to build things. There are no delays with building and training units either. To do anything, you have to keep your peasants/villagers "satisfied" which means they either like you a lot and are very lazy, or they fear you a lot and work very hard. To appease your peasants, you provide them food. You decide how much, because otherwise it will run out before it get's refilled. There's also taxes which you can guess how they affect the peasants. There is a level in the campaign which is largely unbeatable on the highest difficulty because of a bug, but if you play on the normal or easier difficulties you'll beat the game easily. No worries! The controls for controlling soldiers are a bit quirky because you assign all orders to them with a leftmouse click, unlike AoE where you use the rightmouse button. It's the other way around because rightclick deselects them, which would be the opposite in AoE. Funny! Peasants have annoying AI and might block you when you build things sometimes. I played this on the original disc release initially, but if you want to buy it go with the HD editions available since you can't play over 1024x768 otherwise. The HD editions support up to at least 2560x1440.
