Product Description
Product Description
Stronghold, a "Castle Simulation", is a unique cross between a city builder and a real-time strategy game, set in medieval times in Europe. Players will establish settlements, build and manage castles and engage in siege warfare. To aid them in warfare, gamers will also have the ability to choose from a variety of siege troops such as engineers and tunnelers. They will also use siege equipment like siege towers and battering rams, and other static equipment like catapults to attack castles. Gamers will get a realistic feel of running a castle; a living community filled with people (Lords, Ladies, Jesters and more) gathering and manufacturing resources. Cover art not final.
From the Back Cover
BradyGames Stronghold Official Strategy Guide provides detailed strategies for the various missions in the game. Comprehensive reference charts of the different types of castle structures and how to utilize them. Complete coverage of specific troops, siege engines and their usage, advantages and disadvantages is also included, along with tactical maps.

An Interesting Supplemental
11 May 2004
Format:Paperback
A nice supplemental for the original release of Stronghold (the Warchest version of the game has included more maps), but not something you should feel that you need to have to play the game. This is more of an expanded instruction manual than anything else as there are really no "behind the scenes" info or secrets revealed about the game. It is nice in the fact that every map and scenario is discussed throughout the book, and the author gives his strategies for getting through each of them. Therein lies the problem, though, as more often than not, I was able to play and defeat each scenario using different tactics, and the only real help came from the author's run down of what to expect during the course of each mission. Those looking for more detail about the game or special hints or strategies will be disappointed by this book, as there are none forthcoming. Again, an interesting companion for the game and addition to the instruction booklet, but you certainly do not need to have this Strategy Guide in order to successfully play and enjoy the game to its fullest potential.

Strategy Guide
14 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a good strategy guide for a good game. This book gives you a 2 page strategy for every level in the game. It has strategys for building and location for castles. Another good thing about this guide is that is has a table of every unit in the game with a discription, picture, and review of each too.
Top Notch guide
4 April 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not a very "hard core" gamer, in that I don't enjoy spending hours and hours and hours trying to figure out on my own some of the more esoteric wrinkles in the plot or game play of my PC games. If, after reasonable effort, I find I just can't get past a certain part of a game, I like to have a Strategy Guide to refer to so that I can get things moving along again ... my ego can take it. So if you don't mind asking for help now and then, this guide will give you all you need to overcome any deficit you might have as a medieval war planner. I didn't find any part of this game I couldn't handle with this guide in hand. Very nicely done !!
