Stronghold is a 2001 real-time strategy video game developed by Firefly Studios and originally published by Gathering of Developers for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It is the first instalment of the Stronghold series. The game focuses primarily on conquest and expansion through military pursuits but also has prominent economic and infrastructure development elements. There is both an economic and a military campaign to be played and both are discussed in the game manual. In the English version, the game takes place in Medieval Britain around the year 1066; however, since there is not always a time limit, scenarios can continue hundreds of years beyond that date.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I didnt expect anything from the game. I thought it would be terribly boring, but those half an hour were fun. Then I got a little bored, and eventually I lost the desire to play. With a 90% discount for half an hour, it was perfect. Thank you for the opportunity to reminisce a bit
Classic game. Lovely artstyle, great voice acting.
Absolute masterpiece for its age! The only con that i found was that the controls feel a little off, but never the less the gameplay is top tier.
