One of my favorites

I own this on CD but, I wanted to mention that this is a castle builder sim worth getting. From the Military campaign where you face the likes of The Rat, The Snake, The Pig and The Wolf. But also the editor is a great feature where you can create your own castle. Get this and when Crusader comes, get that too!

Excellent real-time strategy game

I had never heard of this game until 2015. This is an amazing medieval strategy game in a style similar to Warcraft and other old-school real-time strategy games, one that still works excellent today. The game comes in HD resolution so don't worry you won't have to copy with a resolution of 300x240 pixels or something. Stronghold differs from Warcraft in that the computer opponents do not build anything, attacks are somewhat scripted. There is a main campaign plus lots of extra missions to choose from, so it doesn't get boring too quickly. Only weakness of the game is a poorly balanced difficulty level. Several missions, including some of the main campaign, have virtually unplayable missions even at normal difficulty level. Looking up solutions on Youtube, it seems as if the only way to beat those missions is to exploit bugs in the game and/or the enemy AI. This is ihmo poor game design, and a problem no other RTS has (to the best of my knowledge). Still a great game, and a must have! Overall rating 4.5/5
