Stronghold 2 Steam Edition

Manage a Castle and Wage War

Stronghold 2 Steam Edition is a strategy and medieval castle life simulator where you control not just the war effort but the everyday life of your subjects. Taxes, punishments, feasts, duels inside buildings, tournaments, and the defense of your fortress are all in your hands, while rival barons compete for power and the warlike Lord Barclay lays siege to your walls.

The game puts real emphasis on "castle life": you can entertain your people or rule with an iron fist, decide the fate of criminals, grow a complex economy, and prepare sieges against your rivals. Unhappy peasants can turn to crime, so the punishment and rehabilitation system here is part of governance rather than a background detail.

What's Included in the Steam Edition

• Steam multiplayer support, achievements, Workshop integration, visual improvements, new maps, and other add-ons;
• Kingmaker and Deathmatch modes for online battles with up to eight players;
• offline skirmishes against computer opponents;
• a map editor for creating and publishing your own scenarios through Steam Workshop;
• a digital artbook, soundtrack, and Steam trading cards.

In Stronghold 2 Steam Edition, you can earn Honour through titles, strategy, or brute force, build a military economy, throw lavish banquets, and storm rival castles. Battles aren't confined to the outer walls: melee combat can break out right inside castle buildings, which fits the game's focus on siege and defense.
