Tonight, I'm re-installing my favorite castle-builder,
Stronghold 2
Not that I ever buy fish...
Everyone knows knights and barbarians are awesome, but before I play Four Woods on Kingmaker, I'm gonna get down to the brass tacks.
Don't play this game for the campaign, play the KINGMAKER mode, an every-lord-for-themselves' scrapfest for land, gold, and soldiers. This gamemode thoroughly satiates my lust of subjugating peasants, erecting grand fortresses, and destroying other peoples' homes.

So many building to choose from. So many aspects of life to control. |
Things about SH2 that are boss:
- Keeps and Staircases you can do battle in
- Mercenary Camps (where you can hire assassins, axe-throwers, and berserkers)
- Traps (including spike traps and attack dogs, obviously)
- Random Events (such as bumper crops, peasant revolt, and wolf invasion)
- Individually Controlled Units
- Tower Mounted Ballistas
- Warrior Monks
- Countless Mods
- In-Depth Village Micromanagement Options
Best of All
- You can arrest thieving peasants, let them rot in a cell, and then mercilessly remove their heads, burn them at the sake, or any other various mean of execution andtorture...Bueno.
So, if you like being a tyrannical overlord, or maybe even a nice person, you should give this game a try. It is, of course, one of my all-time favorites. Anyway, I'm off to pillage the village.
