Medieval Castle Sim

Stronghold is an excellent 2D strategy, pure an easy to learn, though very deep and exciting. I like playing economy and defense campaign because I am not good at siege at all. Visually the game is simple the colours and effect very middle ageish. The interface plain and simple too, but there is a tutorial too. My favourite is the soundtrack, and voices in game. There are perfect! Now that I played through the game several times, I think the first 2-3 military mission, should be more challenging, since there is not many campaign. But after that you can prove your skills. I like this game because the fact is 2D and you can play only with a mouse and have a drink or something. I dont like messing with camera angles in 3D! After many blabla just play it! :)

Stronghold is enjoyable

Stronghold is a mixture of the simulation and tower defense genres. This actually really helps both, as simulations don't tend to have a very strong demand for immediate response, making many of them a bit slow paced. Tower defense games are always a bit repetitive and tend to boil down to only a couple core strategies. Stronghold combines the concepts into one game where each covers the other's weaknesses quite well. Just when you feel the monotony of the sim style castle building set in, here comes an approaching army to keep you on your toes. And while the sieges would get tiresome and annoying as the best responses are usually pretty obvious, the way the simulation part restricts your resources creates an interesting challenge for supporting your plan forcing you to make compromises. It's not the best game on this site, but if you like building clever defenses, and enjoy interesting challenges, Sronghold is for you.

Fun on Mac, but keyboard shortcuts = no

To be clear, I really like the game, but I got to a point where the lack of shortcut keys made the game a chore, if not impossible to play. The inability to group units or quickly switch focus to a particular building makes the game just unenjoyable. I have tried with both the GOG Mac version and the GOG Windows version through Porting Kit, and no dice.

Absurd.........ly awesome!

I cannot believe how much enjoyment I have gotten out of this game. I am halfway through the campaign and things are still being unlocked. The game has found a good middle ground between frustratingly difficult and childishly simple. It is addicting and permits a lot of creative control. It seems like it will have great replayability.

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.
