The main game mode is the military campaign, which is based upon a map of England and Wales. Stronghold contains several modes of gameplay, with both combat and economic missions. The goal is to create a stable economy and a strong military to defend against invaders, destroy enemy castles, and accomplish various mission objectives. In Stronghold, the player takes the role of a lord in a medieval kingdom. The original game received a high-definition re-release in 2013. The game's popularity led to several sequels: Stronghold: Crusader (2002), Stronghold 2 (2005), Stronghold Legends (2006), Stronghold Crusader Extreme (2008), Stronghold 3 (2011), Stronghold Kingdoms (2012) and Stronghold Crusader II (2014). As well as earning many favourable reviews from reviewers such as PC Gamer and GameSpy, the game continues to boast a large community, who edit and create various material through the in-game Map Editor/Scenario Creator. Stronghold was a commercial success, with global sales above 1.5 million units by 2004. In the English version, the game takes place in Medieval Britain around the year 1066 however, since there is not always a time limit, scenarios can continue hundreds of years beyond that date. There is both an economic and a military campaign to be played and both are discussed in the game manual. The game focuses primarily on conquest and expansion through military pursuits but also has prominent economic and infrastructure development elements.
