Description
FireFly Studios' Stronghold is a combination of a building simulation (like
SimCity) and a real-time strategy game. Build and conquer castles, populate lands with your peasants and defend your country from invaders. The game has two principal modes, simulation and invasion. In simulation, you just build castles and villages, without troubling yourself with wars. In invasion mode, you have to use tactical combat to defeat your enemies. Your opponents are Duc de Puce, Duc de Beauregard, Duc Truffe and Duc Volpe, also called "the rat", "the snake", "the pig" and "the wolf", respectively. They all have different personalities and styles of combat - of all of them the wolf is the most difficult to defeat.

Trivia
Stronghold for some unknown reason has a interactive voice that reminds you of Christmas shopping 10 days before Christmas.
