![]() ![]() ![]() I've been playing on "Hard" for that game and it's very nice to play a strategy game where I can actually sabotage the AI's economy. They apparently aren't getting freebies in the background, I was having trouble getting into one Stronghold so I parked trebuchets out front and just launched on their farms and houses out of frustration. If you wish to be unblocked, you must agree that you will take immediate steps to rectify this issue.Īfter long enough I put a big enough hurt into their food and wood production I would see workshops fail, suddenly they couldn't produce armored troops and then they couldn't replace the farms and houses I was destroying.

That’s okay by me, I am waaay beyond the point of caring now. Now I know what you’re thinking: “Really, Tophat? Another review for an ancient cult classic movie? Come on, man!” I’m feeling a bit delirious and unsure if I might throw up sometime in the next 12 minutes, and to offset this unfortunate turn of events I spent the past two hours watching Die Hard on Netflicks, because nothing calms the stomach and heals the body quite like Bruce Willis going on a murderous anti-terrorism rampage. ![]() I decided to do a review for a string of games that I’ve had the misfortune to pick up recently. While I haven’t put nearly as many hours into this franchise as I have, say, Civilization, I’m fairly confident that I can make up the facts about this game that I don’t know, and no one would be the wiser. Maybe someday we’ll have more Bruce Willis shenanigans somewhere else down the line? Today is not that day. Pro tip: Don’t just punch “Fantasy Fest” into a google image search if you are at work Stronghold! Castle building sim! Real time strategy! Armies and murders! You can’t go wrong! I picked up the Stronghold collection on Steam the other day on a whim, which I’ve really got to stop doing. Way back when computers that didn’t require ten thousand punch cards to run a program were new, I was a huge fan of a game called Stronghold. This game came bundled in some kind of “Fantasy Fest” CD, filled to the brim with fantasy, hack and slash and kingdom conquering goodness. Stronghold got most of my play time, in which you would establish five castles in your kingdom, each producing a different kind of unit, develop their land, manage upkeep, and then eventually get utterly decimated by level-draining vampires. I had assumed this Stronghold Pack was the successor to the original game that I sank countless hours into as a kid. It turns out the game (or rather, the four games that were bundled in the Stronghold pack) was something entirely different, and unfortunately, unplayable. The Stronghold Pack came in four flavors: Stronghold, which is branded as the “castle sim that started it all,” Stronghold 2, Stronghold Crusader (plus an expansion pack) and the genre breaking Stronghold Legends. ![]()
