Game manual STRONGHOLD is a kingdom simulator based in the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game. You can civilize and conquer vast new lands by leading a party of up to five characters who create and maintain a growing empire. You choose when and where to build your castle, build housing, or clear land. You take care of existing buildings and try to acquire more. You recruit units to your "stronghold" and train them for combat. You defend your land from evil enemies. And, you even have the power to speed up or pause time in your kingdom. Where will your people live? How will they survive? Will they prosper? Will history record your name to be forever remembered and revered by all? Take a small party of adventurers and set forth. The wilderness awaits you!
