Stronghold is a historic real-time strategy game developed by Firefly Studios. While the game focuses primarily on conquest and expansion through military pursuits, Stronghold does provide space for economic strategy and development: there is both an economic and a military campaign to be played and both are discussed in the game manual. The game takes place in Medieval Britain around the time of AD 1066, though, since there is sometimes no time limit, scenarios can continue to hundreds of years beyond this date.
Runs well on modern hardware.

One of the best RTS games of all time. It has aged so well. If you like medieval RTS games, this is the best cup of tea you can get!
Good game as every Stronghold game. Nice long campaign.
An excellent, if somewhat simplistic, castle builder. Also important is that there are two campaigns, one military and one economic - so players can get to grips with the basics before adding warfare.
