buy it it's a great remastered classic (we could also play it with gameranger)
Stronghold is actually really awesome, it has a neat campaign. The gameplay is really good. Crusader is one of the best multiplayer strategy games out there, it's a really great experience. Building up castles and besieging your enemy is always entertaining. Especially in multiplayer, although the AI is quite dumb and not that engaging. Also the hd update is actually really good, it looks and plays more smoothly. I definitly recommend it. Although don't get Stronghold 2, Legends or 3. They're really awful.
I really enjoyed Stronghold 2, and Legends was pretty fun too.

Oh and only allow siege weapons to break down walls.
One thing I really despise about the series is that hundreds of units can occupy a single space, making battles harder. Making precise management and coordination a bitch. Units just tend to bunch up and can be easy targets for traps. Micromanaging groups can be a bitch. I didn't mind it that much in the older Stronghold games but it's really bad in 2 and Legends. It also looks pretty bad and takes away a lot from the atmosphere because you only see thousands of units lined up and merged together.
