Stronghold Kingdoms

Stronghold Kingdoms combines medieval city building, economic management and online strategy in a persistent world where players develop castles, manage resources and compete or cooperate with other lords. You build settlements, research technologies, raise armies and expand your influence while dealing with the political and economic relationships created by a large player community. The game places considerable emphasis on long-term planning, since developing a powerful kingdom requires more than simply producing soldiers. Alliances, trade and territorial expansion can all influence your success, while the persistent world means that your decisions continue to matter between sessions. Stronghold Kingdoms is particularly appealing to players who enjoy medieval strategy with a social component. It turns the classic castle-building fantasy into a long-term online project where even a peaceful village can eventually become part of a rather complicated war.
