This is the third chapter in FireFly Studios’s hit castle-sim and siege-warfare RTS franchise. In Stronghold 3, castle building — the foundation of the franchise — has been significantly improved, providing players with unprecedented control over the placement of buildings. This allows them to create their kingdom with a precision that compliments their carefully planned tactics. What’s more, village planning is no longer confined to a grid system; players can now create castle walls that flow gracefully … until they’re blasted to pieces by the enemy.
