Has anyone evr played Stronghold by Firefly Studios. Its a very awesome game. It's partly a city building simulation, and part RTS. It's a great Castle Simulation

It's a cheap rippoff of like Castle games. No wonder its like under $5...

Never really played it, but I did hear good things about it.
And Dabomb, it's been out for a few years, so that would explain the price.

I thought it was just a crappy game. It is cool to watch the awesome graphics, or just watching the trees move from side to side, but there's no Main game type. There's economy, offensive, defensive. I like AoE2 and those things cause it's all the same if you know what I mean.

I bought it when it first came out, never really got along with it though. A pretty average game IMHO.

OBJECTION!
I have a friend who likes it. But to me... meh. Good concept, but very poor execution if you ask me.

Dude, its very awesome. It's great. Sure it has some problems, but so do all games. I need to get the Expansion.

There is an expansion? Man, that game was way too bad to get an expansion. I'm not saying that it is necessarily bad (I think it is) but it needs to be at least somewhat good to have an expansion made.

Can't remember, I expect it was around £30.

Stronghold was superb! Moats, traps, tar pits and boiling oil baby! 
Seeing a huge army charging towards your fortress was cool. Firstly the ladderman go down in droves as they run into your traps and your CB men pepper them. Then the knights and footmen come up channeled by moats into the area where you have tarpits and boiling oil waiting
Also the enemy CB men and archers come into range of the archer you have positioned beside a brazier 
Good clean fun!

i have both stronghold and stronghold crusader and i like the game. crusader is not an expansion pack per se but it isnt called a sequal by the makers of the gamebut i think of it as a sequal.
crusader has more options. it has a skirmisk trail. 50 mission where you build a castle on different maps and play against 1 2 3 4 5 or 6 opponents. some are allies sometimes. other times they are your enemy. some maps are small (and make for a fast game) and others are large. the further you progress on this "trail" the harder it gets. this doesnt include all the other maps it comes with, you can pick as many opponents as you want, you can set uo alliances (teams). you can play agaisnt other human players online. crusader is more comprehensive than stronghold is but stronghold is still a good game. i like the grass and forests better htan the desert but thats jsut a personal thing. i belong to a stronghold board that is really in depth with these games. they have tutorials on how to do all kinds of tricks in the game. i'd give the URL but i dont want anyone to think i'm spamming.
