And since you’re not notified or expecting it, critical industries like falconry posts (which reduces your city’s rat levels) or gong pits wind up going untended, which leads to people suddenly abandoning your castle in droves, all at once. Even long-trusted clergymen and blacksmiths will turn abruptly to crime and begin raiding your storehouse, regardless of your popularity at that moment. Where before peasants could be kept content with different food types, churches, and taverns to keep their minds dulled, they now turn against you in a heartbeat, often for no visible reason. Returning to the conventional setting of lush green English pastures, you reprise the role of a faceless British baron who rules over a steadily increasing population of peasants, expanding your power and lands by adjusting taxes and rations, and much more often by placing configurations of buildings that will keep your citizens well fed, well defended, usefully employed, and happy. Stronghold 2 mostly sticks to the winning formula established by its predecessors. No other game before or since has so gracefully integrated maintaining apple orchards with setting hundreds of screaming knights on fire. The Steam Edition also updates Stronghold 2 with full Steam Workshop integration, allowing to you easily create and share custom maps with friends.The original Stronghold and its miraculously topical expansion Crusader had their share of warts — an interesting but ultimately easy to master economic model and endearingly crude AI — but were so wedded to the uniquely laidback and charming gameplay that they too came off as laidback and charming, spicy kernels in keeping with the authentically scruffy atmosphere. Created exclusively for Steam, Stronghold 2: Steam Edition comes with Steam multiplayer support, achievements, a new map pack, digital art book, soundtrack and trading cards.Unhappy peasants turn to crime and must be punished, rival lords can raise entire armies on their title alone and sieges must be fought tooth and nail, with close combat taking place inside castle structures! Stronghold 2 Online extends this gameplay to competitive multiplayer for up to eight players over Steam, with offline skirmish mode also available against computer-controller opponents.
