FireFly Studios' Stronghold

Advertising Blurbs

Stronghold est un mélange unique entre les jeux de construction de villes comme Caesar III ou Sim City et les RTS dans la tradition de Command & Conquer et Age of Empires. Au coeur de l'Europe médiévale, les joueurs établissent des campements, construisent et gèrent leurs châteaux et se lancent dans la guerre de siège. La construction et l'administration de la société occupent ici une place beaucoup plus importante que dans les autres RTS, mais les combats ne sont pas en reste et se montrent plus intenses que dans les simulations de construction.

Stronghold is a unique cross between city builders such as Caesar III or Sim City and a RTS in the tradition of Command & Conquer and Age of Empires. Set in medieval Europe, players establish settlements, build and manage castles and engage in siege warfare. The game incorporates much more building and "community managing" than a traditional RTS, yet allows for a more intense combat experience than city builders have featured in the past.
