Stronghold

Stronghold is a historical real-time strategy game developed by Firefly Studios. Although it focuses mainly on conquest and expansion through military action, it also emphasizes economic planning and settlement development. The game includes both an economic campaign and a military campaign, and both are discussed in the game manual. Set in Medieval Britain around AD 1066, Stronghold can extend far beyond that date in scenarios that have no time limit, allowing play to continue for hundreds of years after the initial period.

Stronghold takes place in Medieval Britain around AD 1066, where you rise as a lord by building a prosperous settlement and defending your castle. Through economic and military campaigns, the central challenge is balancing resources, keeping your people loyal, and surviving siege warfare against rival forces.
