'Stronghold Warchest' is a great game, but 'Crusader Extreme' is soon to be released in 2008 which will be the 'Warchest' package and a WHOLE lot more.

Bad Game Ahoy!!!!!!

This game is bad. Period. I played it at my loser friend's house (He's obsessed with it) and immediately hated it. It completely ruined my day. I'll probably never go over to his house again. It is boring and is faulty. The graphics are terrible and there is no strategy involved whatsoever. The designers must have been on crack when they made this game. I wouldn't play this game again if my life depended on it.

Dont Buy Only This!! BUY THEM ALL! (Stronghold,Stronghold Crusader,Stronghold 2 And Stronghold 2 legends!)

This game is very fun for about a month. You do all the missions, kill the kings, and pour oil on all the soldiers. After you've got a feel for the game; it's over. Without the missions it offers very little replay value. But it's a perfect for those hard to buy for 11-14 year old boys. The time they spend doing those missions will be the most fun time they've had playing computer games.

This game is a rare one where you have to keep the people happy and fight off the enemy using almost very limited resources. The only complaint I have is that the manuals and the strategy guides for both games are on the CD. I would much rather prefer having a hard copy readily available rather read it on the computer.

Warchest....is great!!!

Stronghold:Warchest is just like Rise of Nations,a game that RTS(Real Time Strategy)and TBS(Turn Based Strategy)joined forces to create a game like this.It is also features:

1.An extended Crusader Trail featuring the new AIs!
2.Eight new AIs for Crusader!
3.Two games on one CD at a low price!
4.And a Create-a-Scenario option,which lets you create your own missions!!

Ain't it great!!

This game is so good stop reading now and order.It is like no other game i have played before.In the game you BUILD YOUR OUN CASTLE and use tactics to defend and attack all the while maniging your city.it is hard to start not knowing what to do but after that its all fun. If you wanna try the demo for free go to gamespyarcade.com and get a free acount and download it free.But thats a wast of time because its not good its very good.

Still the best Stronghold game!

Despite sequels and what other versions of the sequels they put out there this is still the best Stronghold. Another of my favorite RTS games. This one will have you playing over and over again. You will find yourself repeating the same scenarios just to see if you can do better. This game is starting to get hard to find and prices are going back up. Truly the castle game we all dreamed of as kids come to life. Endless hours of fun!

Great Play

An interesting game to say the least. I love the RTS games like Warcraft and Age of Empires. While Stronghold is similar in many ways, it is also very unique. Whether you build your own or play in one of the historic castles, this game really captures the daily life of a castle in peace and war without being overly complicated. The warchest contains the original Stronghold, and the expansion pack Crusader. This is certainly worth the money and has lots of replay value.

the holy grail of strategy games

My husband loves this game. This was purchased as a gift to entertain him while I waited for his real present Age of Mytholgy + expansion Age of Myth to arrive from the same makers of his beloved Ages of Empires. This should have been reversed, he plays Stronghold more than the other. Stronghold gives him the challenge he loves in his strategy games. Soon will come my challenge finding the next game to challenge him that can compare to his beloved Stronghold for he has almost finished this saga.
So if your loved one -loves strategy games try this. They will love this game especially if they are critical about war games that are not historically accurate. These warriors match the expressions, strategies, equipment, and dead cow throwing tactics of old - with a sense of humor. I even find myself repeating the warriors comments.
