D&D Stronghold: Kingdom Simulator
Description
In this remarkable kingdom simulator, your goal is to become Emperor by building and expanding your stronghold in competition against opposing computer-controlled kingdoms. Choose three courses of action to achieve Emperor status: Lawful (Maximizing the prosperity and morale of your poulace; Chaotic (total military victory over all your enemies); or Neutral (striving to achieve both objectives, the toughest challenge of all).
All the details of running a kingdom must be dealt with: Construction, farmland, population, housing, troops, morale and changing seasons - and, of course, a multitude of D&D game monsters. Micro-manage all these factors personally if you want absolute control, or let the computer do much of it for you. Choose from pre-created worlds or computer-generated random scenarios for a new challenge every time. With the intuitive mouse-driven command interface, running your own kingdom has never been more fun, fast or easy!

An old prick's opinion
About the game. It is an old classic, and it is (abandoned) freeware. To have some challenge you should setup with 2 waves of monsters, 49 in the first and 50 in the second. Selecting more monster lairs in the first wave reduces the number in the second, and I think the total limit is 100 (or 99, if I remember correctly for years past, when people like me could spent days on understanding the mechanics of a game without the help of internet...). Anyway, while everybody his/hers opinion, I have mine. The game is worth 5 dollars. Would it been release today as indie game? With its outdated interface and gfx? Yes, still it is worth 5 bugs. Yet, you actually don't pay for the game, you pay GoG for making the game a windows executable. Then the complicated stuff: goto DosBox at http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 and after a simple install, you can drag any dos-executable to the dosbox icon. It is a simple as that... Once you installed Dosbox, you can skip that step and find, download and play any old game "newly released". Personally, I do the following: I don't spent 5 dollars, I wait till there is a sale of let's say 80% and buy it. Why? I like the GoG concept. You have a nice online storage of games, and you can download games, store it at a local drive and play it, even when by some unforeseen event GoG ever quits.

Requires very thick Nostalgia classes
Started gaming on MUDs and Pool of Radiance. I wish I could have played this as a youngster with no perspective because this is hard to look at. Pound for Pound worst UI and graphics IMO. Unplayable.

20mb game for $5.99, just REDICULOUS!!!
I AGREE!! This is rediculous, lately all these very old 2000 or less years games get sold for $5.99. These games are at $1.99 at most and even then rediculous for a 20mb game. I really think GOG should start looking at their prices, they are really pushing them a lot lately.

Are you serious?
1993-year game with such high cost? Are you serious?
