Product Description
The Crusades were over. The perils of the dark ages were barely passing. It was the best of times and the worst of times. The Middle Ages spanned 1066 to 1485AD and spawned legends of King Arthur, Robin Hood, and many others. The life of all the classes was dominated by the feudal system. Romanticism, greed, magic, dominance and gut survival blended amidst feudal battles from one castle to another. The Feudal System was introduced to England following the invasion and conquest of the country by William The Conqueror. The Normans from the time they first settled there around 900AD had used the system in France. It was a simple, but effective system, where all land was owned by the King. The largest portion was kept by the King as his personal property, some was given to the church and the rest was leased out under strict controls. The King allowed those he could trust to lease land. These became Barons. They were wealthy, powerful and had complete control of the land they leased. You're a Baron. The Stronghold Collection brings together five games from the critically acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) series that allows players to conquer the Middle Ages. The Stronghold series has become one of the most popular dynamic castle building sim games in the world, combining the finest aspects from the city builder and RTS genres. Prepare yourself for a back-in-time visit to the Middle Ages and see how your expertise, wile, and guile help you survive or fail. The Stronghold Collection combines historically accurate castle construction, management, and authentic medieval combat. Players journey to lands of brave warriors, epic legends and fearsome weaponry, where they will build and fortify fortresses; lay siege to intrepid enemies; and conquer harsh terrains.

Customer Reviews
DRM free
A nice collection of games
that actually work on Win7 and NO nasty DRM. Maybe EA and Ubisoft should
take note and stop putting DRM,s in theyre games.
Four Classic Games for the Price of One
If you've never played the
Stronghold games before you're in for a treat. This classic castle
building sim will have you thinking medieval 24/7. The four games focus
on unique aspects of gameplay and so all four are very playable. The
original game focuses on building large armies and economies. Crusader
Extreme raises the stakes by moving the battle to the Arabian desert and
allowing armies of thousands of troops. Stronghold II focus on detail
and management. And Legends adds a fantasy aspect encountered in the
other titles. Best of all, the entire collection is DRM free. No
worrking about install limits or scratched disks. When you buy the
Stronghold collection, these games are yours to keep!
A Must for Stronghold Fans
I have been a Stronghold fan since I bought a trial CD for the first Stronghold game many years ago.
This pack comes with all the games you can't find elsewhere. Stronghold
and II and Stronghold Crusader, and Crusader Extreme, and Stronghold
Legends. I like Stronghold, and Stronghold II especially, although I
think some of the graphics were better in the first one than the second
one. The games offer the ability to play an economic story progression
or a military one. You can also do a free build. My sons enjoy Crusader
more than the originals because of the new troops available. Legends
allows you to play as King Arthur among others, and adds suck troop
options as Ice Giants and dragons.
It offers many hours of play and is a great RTS game. I would recommend to anyone who likes this kind of game.
