Stronghold HD

I have to say I was pretty impressed back in 2001 with this game. This mix of caesar 3 and aoe is really unique and addictive, that is why nearly 10 years later it's still a fun rts to play (not to mention the awsome game score). I would definetely recommand it to any rts fan.

The feeling when you're building your castle, while listening that beautiful medivial style soundtrack... The Free Building mode is just perfect! - - - 10/10 would spend a half day playing this game again!

Nice building game with bit of economy. Runs with Wine (Linux).

When I was a little child I always dreamt about building a castle, you know, large walls, towers, waterbridges, all the awesomeness of medieval castles. And Stronghold let's you do all of that. You have some basic economy stuff, building farms, woodcutters, and the castle building. The campaigns might not be that awesome, the real core of the game is the free build. It lets you create huge castles with high walls, hundreds of archers armed with firearrows, raining death on invading enemies. If you just saw King Arthur oder any other random medieval movie , just play this game. It's relaxing, has great music and even the graphics aged very well.

My first time with this game in current year and I loved it, the pig kicked my ass so I'm still stuck in the campaign, but I'm having a blast regardless
