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.

A fun game that i still have a blast the hd is pretty good not sure if i say the same for the definitive edtions but im still enjoying these castel games regardless. it don't have a skirmish mode persay but it is pretty fun.
its every bit as fun as i remember as a kid. i used to watch my dad play it and i can tell what he liked about it. it challenges me in a way thats so hard to find in modern games.
Seems like a good game, but I couldn't get warm with it. The controls are not very good, the graphics are worse and the gameplay is often waiting around for long stretches of time. The building part of the game isn't logical either (you can't build certain buildings on their own, you have to build them adjacent to others of its kind). Actually the building part of this game annoyed me the most and normaly I love builder games.
