The 18th most popular strategy game on Mac OS X
… More EditStronghold is a 'historic real-time strategy (RTS)' game developed by Firefly Studios in 2001. Whilst the game focuses most primarily on conquest and expansion through military pursuits, Stronghold does provide space for economic strategy and development; there is both an economic and military campaign for the player to play through and the theme of both are focused upon in the back-cover text. The game takes place in Medieval Britain around the time of AD 1066, though, since there are sometimes no time limits, scenarios can continue to hundreds of years beyond this date.
As well as earning many favourable reviews from reviewers such as PCGamer and GameSpy (see Reception section), the game continues to boast a large community, who edit and create various material through the in-game Map Editor/Scenario Creator.
Partly due to the above, the game spawned three sequels: Stronghold: Crusader, Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends and several compilation packages.

I still love to play this game, even though it's old and crusty now, it's what I always wanted in a RTS. Building and defending a castle, and alternately laying siege to a castle is epic fun.
Great game. ;)
