The time for poetry is over--now is the time to draw swords, man the walls, and defend your land. All of the castle-storming and rock-hurling excitement from the Stronghold series is here, plus challenging new maps and dangerous new enemies. Take up arms and employ catapults and battering rams to reduce the enemy castles to rubble. Reclaim the kingdom in Stronghold, venture forth to conquer the desert in Stronghold Crusader, and become lord of both realms in Stronghold Warchest.
