Stronghold has and will always be one of my favourite games as its so many different types of games in one. The nuts of bolts of the game is a resource management castle builder, but it has extra elements that make it so much more. You have the story based campaign that is all about battles and sieges , you have the peaceful path where you can build a castle at your own pace and make watch it grow and live in a SIMS type way and their is also the castle siege parts that allow you to take part in one of the major sieges from history. It is a game you can pick up at a low price and will provide many hours of enjoyment.

I am a big fan of the Stronghold series by FireFly. So I have been playing the game since it's release in 2001. There were other castle sim building games but none like this one. I really enjoy the economic and military campaigns. They can give you a sense of accomplishment unlike the Free Build. But the Free Builds allow you to explore more of the game. Stronghold HD is a win in my book.
